    Using WebEngineView, I'm trying to automatically load at launch an html file which is in the same directory as my .app bundle.

    --DemoDirectory
    -----Demo.app
    -----demo1.html

    I've discovered that QGuiApplication::applicationDirPath() points to a directory inside the bundle so that wasn't working.I made somewhat hackish progress with the code snippet below.

    After concatenating the html file name, the path I end up with is

    /Users/Tomato/Documents/builds/build-Timeline_Demo-Desktop_Qt_5_5_1_clang_64bit-Release/demo1.html

    Which of course doesn't work, so I tried prepending `file://" on to that and still no joy. Am I doing something obviously wrong?

    -in main.cpp

       QDir dir = QDir(QCoreApplication::applicationDirPath());
        dir.cdUp();
        dir.cdUp();
        dir.cdUp();
        engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("workingDirectory", 
                                                 dir.absolutePath());
