How to get the source QString instance from a QUrl instance which is invalid?

[ZiJia]

I have constructed a QUrl instance like below.

Here is a output from PyQt4, actually i use Qt5, but it isn't installed on this machine, so it's just a sample code to demonstrate my problem.

In Qt5, i want to get the source string "test.pro://account=" from the QUrl instance, how can i achieve it?

What i have done?

The QUrl class have a private class which is named QUrlPrivate which contains a struct named Error. The Error structure contains QString source which is actually what i want. But i don't know how to access it usinig public API from QUrl.

Thanks for helping.

Hi,

do you have the same problem with a more regular and existing Url like e.g. "http://forum.qt.io"?

No.

Hi @ZiJia

According to the docs: "QUrl checks for conformance with the URL specification". So I would guess that QUrl does not recognise "test.pro://" as valid url protocol and it stops where it finds the first error.

@m-sue You are right. QUrl parser considers it as an error. But what i want to do is to get the source string when it goes wrong.

Hi,

Since you have your variable named source, why not re-use it if something fails ?
