Qt 5.6 qDebug and qLog no longer work
I posted it as a Qt bug report at https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG... , and another user reported the issue at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/36... . I do believe this is not a Qt issue, but how the RPM got built and packaged for the latest Qt, since this USED to work in Qt 5.5 (and 5.4), and no longer works for the Qt 5.6 package.
Both Fedora and CentOS 7 pull the same RPM.
Here's a copy/paste of my bug report (including the exact RPM package name).
import QtQuick 2.6
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
Window {
visible: true
Text {
text: qsTr("Hello World")
anchors.centerIn: parent
Component.onCompleted: {
console.warn("warn completed")
console.log("log completed")
console.error("error completed")
console.debug("debug completed")
console.exception("exception completed")
console.info("info completed")
}
}
}
main.cpp
#include <QGuiApplication>
#include <QQmlApplicationEngine>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QGuiApplication app(argc, argv);
QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.load(QUrl(QStringLiteral("qrc:/main.qml")));
return app.exec();
}
This used to work in Qt 5.5 (I'm currently on 5.4 due to dbus being broken in 5.5). As reported originally from the user in stackoverflow, debug and log are broken, but the other outputs still work. Same affect with qDebug() in C++ being broken. It simply outputs nothing. I've also noticed if I put a qDebug() before the initialization of QGuiApplication (or QCoreApplication), it will work. It will NOT work if I attempt to qDebug() immediately after it. note I just noticed one other thing. So if I use the prebuilt Qt from the Qt maintenancetool installer, logging DOES work. Therefore this may be less an issue with Qt specifically, and more an issue with how EPEL Release repository packages and compiles Qt?
qt5-qtbase.x86_64 5.6.0-7.el7 @epel
edit I did an rpm -qi on the qt5 package, and Fedora Project are the ones responsible for the packaging of these binaries (build date says April, which indicates broken for over a month and a half). It's been a while, and can really use an answer from Fedora Project at this point.
