I'm in trouble with Qt 5.7.0 and QML. I need to discover properties of some objects at runtime. No need to expand on the final goal the problem is elsewhere.

I plan to use Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor but I can't make it works as I want, after hours of test...

Here is a POC in pure QML/JS

import QtQuick 2.0

Item {

   id: myTest

   property int myProp : 1234


   function test() {
      console.log("_________________TEST_________________");
      console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyNames(myTest))
      console.log(myTest.hasOwnProperty("myProp"))
      console.log(Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(myTest, "myProp"));
      console.log("_________________TEST_________________");
   }
}

In the log I get:

qml: _________________TEST_________________
qml: [objectName,parent,data,resources,children,x,y,z,width,height,opacity,enabled,visible,visibleChildren,states,transitions,state,childrenRect,anchors,left,right,horizontalCenter,top,bottom,verticalCenter,baseline,baselineOffset,clip,focus,activeFocus,activeFocusOnTab,rotation,scale,transformOrigin,transformOriginPoint,transform,smooth,antialiasing,implicitWidth,implicitHeight,layer,myProp,objectNameChanged,childrenRectChanged,baselineOffsetChanged,stateChanged,focusChanged,activeFocusChanged,activeFocusOnTabChanged,parentChanged,transformOriginChanged,smoothChanged,antialiasingChanged,clipChanged,windowChanged,childrenChanged,opacityChanged,enabledChanged,visibleChanged,visibleChildrenChanged,rotationChanged,scaleChanged,xChanged,yChanged,widthChanged,heightChanged,zChanged,implicitWidthChanged,implicitHeightChanged,update,grabToImage,grabToImage,contains,mapToGlobal,mapFromGlobal,mapFromItem,mapToItem,forceActiveFocus,forceActiveFocus,nextItemInFocusChain,nextItemInFocusChain,childAt,myPropChanged,test]
qml: true
qml: undefined
qml: _________________TEST_________________

According to the line "qml: true" the "hasOwnProperty('myProp')" find the property and say "true".

But the next line trying to get the property descriptor return "undefined".

The one who can solve my problem will be my Hero !
