    @SGaist said in Qt5.11.2, QSqlDatabase, QMYSQL, Driver not loaded:

    QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS

    I did this:

    1. Opened a terminal

    2. Typed: export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1

    3. Started application in Qt with debug and single stepped the following lines:

      QSqlDatabase db = QSqlDatabase::addDatabase("QMYSQL");
      db.setHostName("Simons-iMac.local");
      db.setDatabaseName("timekpr");
      db.setUserName("timekpr");
      db.setPassword("timekpr");
      

    When I stepped over the first line I got:

        2018-10-09 08:28:39.328815+0100 SimonQtWidgets[934:47867] QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded

      What would be interesting is to have the log that was generated about the plugin loading phase.

          Since you are using Qt Creator, look at the output panel.

            Specifically which panel are you referring to?

            I don't see anything in the "Debugger Console", if I enable the "Debugger Log" I see:

                No, I never mentioned the debugger output. It's the application output panel that you must take a look at.

                      @SGaist, I did the following in a terminal window:

                          open ~/.bash_profile
                      

                      In the editor, the bash_profile file was empty I added:

                          export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1
                      

                      Saved the file and closed the editor. I then ran:

                          source ~/.bash_profile
                      

                      I closed the terminal, then re-opened to check that the variable was present by typing:

                          export

                        You should rather do that in the Run part of the Project panel.

                        Because unless you either logged out or restart Qt Creator from the same terminal you ran your export from, it won't see the new variable.

                            It's shown the Qt Creator documentation.

                              @SGaist , I'm struggling with the documentation, the version of Qt Creator I'm using is:

                              Qt Creator 4.7.0-rc1 (4.6.84)

                              From the link posted I don't see, Projects > Build & Run > Run

                              How do I get to this section?

                              [Edit], found it, I'm so blind, I was looking for a menu option, it was right in front of me on the left vertical tool bar.

                              Kind Regards,
                              Sy

                                @SPlatten said in Qt5.11.2, QSqlDatabase, QMYSQL, Driver not loaded:

                                QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS

                                @SGaist , this is the output when the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS is correctly added, I think I've isolated the problem, but not sure why its looking for this file and it doesn't exist::

                                  Please make sure you complie the Qmysql plugin in qtbase folder

                                  Link x86 libs or x64 libs with whatever mysql you have installed on your system.

                                  Copy sqldriver folder to complier folder

                                  Should fix all sql drivers not finding the correct path locations.

                                  Also make sure you override the static qmysql plugins as there are static ones that come shipping with it.

                                      I do not use Mac or compile Qt.

                                      But it seems to me that the error message:

                                      Cannot load library /Users/simonplatten/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.dylib: (dlopen(/Users/simonplatten/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/libqsqlmysql.dylib, 133): Library not loaded: /usr/local/mysql/lib/libmysqlclient.20.dylib
                                      

                                      is unequivocal. You need a libmysqlclient.20.dylib. (Moving just libqsqlmysql.dylib to somewhere is not going to address this.)

                                      Try Googling for libqsqlmysql. There are others asking about this being missing under Linux/MacOS. You may need to download it (apt-get under MacOS? I have no idea) given what you show from your find and/or see e.g. https://afshinm.name/2016/02/05/how-to-fix-library-not-loaded-libmysqlclient-18-dylib-in-mac-os-x/

                                        Complie mysql.pro in qtbase/sqldrivers

                                        And then:

                                        cp ~/Qt/5.11.2/Src/qtbase/plugins/sqldrivers/ ~/Qt/5.11.2/clang_64/plugins/sqldrivers/
                                        

                                        Also might need to copy them to the creator folder as well to debug inside creator.
