EGLFS: OpenGL windows cannot be mixed with others.

Rohn

I am using below code to launch my window application(qml file loading) using PyQt5.QQuickView
@test.py
import os
import sys

from PyQt5.QtCore import QUrl
from PyQt5.QtGui import QGuiApplication
from PyQt5.QtQuick import QQuickView
from PyQt5.QtWebEngine import QtWebEngine

if name == 'main':
sys.argv.extend(['-platform', 'eglfs'])
app = QGuiApplication(sys.argv)
app.setApplicationName("Hello World")

QtWebEngine.initialize()
view = QQuickView()
view.setResizeMode(QQuickView.SizeRootObjectToView)
view.setSource(
    QUrl.fromLocalFile(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'myScrollView.qml'))

)

view.show()

sys.exit(app.exec_())

But I am getting an error as below

@error

QQuickView does not support using windows as a root item.

If you wish to create your root window from QML, consider using QQmlApplicationEngine instead.

How to overcome this issue, please help me to resolve this issue.......I am using following in qml file

@qml file
import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.1
import QtQuick.Controls 2.0

Window{

}

Please let me know how to overcome those errors

Hi,

Either follow the suggestion made:
@Rohn said in EGLFS: OpenGL windows cannot be mixed with others.:

If you wish to create your root window from QML, consider using QQmlApplicationEngine instead.

Or take a look at this example. It's C++ but you can translate it pretty easily in Python.

@SGaist No , there is nothing related to my issue....please let me know the way to load the QML file(running application) using mentioned @test.py file using PyQt5 binding

SGaist

Yes it does since it's showing how to handle a QML file using a Window component.

Anyway here's how to load properly your Window based QML file:

engine =  QQmlApplicationEngine()
engine.load(QUrl.fromLocalFile(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'myScrollView.qml')));

And here's an improved version of your QML object to ensure there's something to show:

 Window{
     visible: true
     width: 512
     height: 300
 
     Text {
         anchors.centerIn: parent
         text: "Hello World!"
     }
 }
