Application runs in Qt Creator, but not as an executable (Take 2)

[Hoyt]

I can run a Qt 5.8 app on my mac via Qt Creator. However, when I attempt to run the app outside of Qt (either via Terminal or by double clicking the executable in the build directory), the application crashes with the an EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV) exception.

From a post entitled "Application runs in Qt Creator, but not as an executable" (https://forum.qt.io/topic/15118/application-runs-in-qt-creator-but-not-as-an-executable/2), I learned that my command line PATH variables should be set to the same as the environment utilized by Qt Creator (Project-> Build and Run -> Run Environment).

However, my Qt Creator Run Environment is set to "Clean Environment". Thus, I am not aware of any PATH variables to set.

Any thoughts as to wha I am doing wrong?

[SGaist]

Can you show the content of the myMessageOutput function ?

[Hoyt]

void myMessageOutput(QtMsgType type, const QMessageLogContext &context, const QString &msg)
{
    QFile file(workingDirectory + "/Output/eTouch_Output.txt");

    if (secondTime == false)
    {
        file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Truncate);
        secondTime = true;
    }
    else
    {
      file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly | QIODevice::Append);
    }

    QTextStream out(&file);
    out << msg << "\n";
    file.close();
}

[SGaist]

One thing: you don't check that the opening was successful.

[Hoyt]

sGaist.

Thank you very much. You solved my issue. Thanks again.
