Strange bug/quirk with QObject's dumpObjectTree()

[devDawg]

Hello all,
Was not sure if I should post this here or in the QML section, but I encountered something strange while exploring the object tree of a QObject.

Essentially, I create a QQmlComponent from my qml file that holds all my formatting. I then create a QObject pointer object from this component. The purpose of this is so I can dig through its object tree to find a LineSeries embedded within a ChartView delegate, allowing me to link data refresh signals with new data points being added to my graph.

What's strange, is that when I grab the ListView from the object tree (it is title "chartListView") and dump its object tree, I see another QObject titled "chartListView" in its object tree!! So either I am not doing something correctly, or I have discovered a bug.. I will post code below.

main.cpp:

 QQmlComponent sumPage(&engine,QUrl("qrc:/Display0.qml"));

    QObject *summaryPage = sumPage.create(); //access to entire Display0.qml file
    graphList->setQMLReference(summaryPage);

setQMLReference method inside the graphList object:

void GraphModel::setQMLReference(QObject *comp)
{
    QObject *ref = new QObject();
    QObjectList *items = new QObjectList(comp->findChildren<QObject *>(QString()));

    for (int i = 0; i < items->length();i++) {

        if (items->at(i)->objectName().compare(QString("chartListView"),Qt::CaseSensitive)) {
            ref = items->at(i);
            qDebug() << "found it.";
            qDebug() << ref->metaObject()->className();
            qDebug() << "obj tree: "; ref->dumpObjectTree();
            qDebug() << "obj info: "; ref->dumpObjectInfo();
            break;
        }
    }
    items = new QObjectList(ref->findChildren<QObject *>(QString()));
    for (int i = 0; i < items->length();i++) {
        qDebug() << items->at(i)->objectName();
        qDebug() << items->at(i)->metaObject()->className();
    }
}

here is the ListView section of Display0.qml:

ListView {
                        objectName: "chartListView"
                        id: chartListView
                        x: 0
                        y: 130
                        width: 350
                        height: 350

                        anchors.top: controlRect.bottom
                        orientation: Qt.Vertical

                        /*
                            Procedure:
                            -load a DataPiece in to GraphModel. (name, units, value, maximum, minimum)
                            -Set up ChartView & LineSeries according to that DataPiece.
                         */

                        model: graphModel.getSize()

                        delegate: ChartView {
                            objectName: "chartView"
                            width: 350
                            height: 350
                            title: graphModel.getDataAt(index).getModuleName() + " " + graphModel.getDataAt(index).getName() + " vs. time"

                            LineSeries {


                                axisX: ValueAxis {
                                    objectName: "xAxis"
                                    color: "black"
                                    gridVisible: true

                                    titleText: "time (s)"
                                    visible: true
                                    min: 0
                                }
                                axisY: ValueAxis {
                                min: graphModel.getDataAt(index).minimumAsInt()
                                max: graphModel.getDataAt(index).maximumAsInt()
                                objectName: "yAxis"
                                color: "black"
                                gridVisible: true
                                labelsFont.pointSize: 5
                                titleFont.pointSize: 8
                                titleText: graphModel.getDataAt(index).getName() + " (" + graphModel.getDataAt(index).getUnits() + ")"
                                visible: true
                                }
                                /*x vals come from this timer. When the first value change of the DataPiece is detected, x=0 is used for the first

                                */
                                Timer {
                                    id: objTimer
                                    objectName: graphModel.getDataAt(index).getName() + "Timer"

                                }

                            //must implement C++ logic to add data points here.

                            }
                        }
                    }

Finally, some console output to show you what I am talking about:

To recap, I have a LineSeries inside of a graph that I want to synchronize with data being fed into the system, with as quick of a refresh rate as possible. That being said, I am well aware that I may not be achieving my goal the most efficient way possible, and would be open to other suggestions.

But the main question is, why am I seeing "chartListView" inside the Object tree of "chartListView"?

@devDawg fixed it, I'm an idiot... In my QString compare() method where I check objectNames to equal "chartListView", I didn't make it equal to 0! Simple fix.
