Qt Mqtt not connecting

[lodeSmets]

Hello,

I have read the documentation and the example code for the Qt Mqtt library.
Now I'm trying to create my own client, but the QMqttClient won't connect to the broker

    QMqttClient *client= new QMqttClient();
    client->setHostname("192.168.0.137");
    client->setPort(1883);
    client->connectToHost();

    QMqttClient::ClientState state =client->state();
    while (client->state()==QMqttClient::Connecting);

When debugging the state is always connecting (never connected).
I know the library works (because the example code works).
Is there something I forgot?

Thanks in advance,
Lode

Hi,

You might be strangling the event loop with that while loop.

So you have seen that the simpleclient for instance doesn't have any loop, and it's "event-based" using just signals and slots.

And out of curiosity and for statistical purposes, what server (i.e. Mosquitto) are you trying to connect to? Thanks.
