Problems with Adding Oauth2 Implicit Flow Class to NetworkAuth Module

[basyskom-dege]

Hello everybody,

i want to use the Networkauth API for the Implicit Flow of Oauth2. Since there is only this Authorization Flow class, i wrote a similar class to support the Implicit Flow. I followed this Guide on how to add a new module. Since the two flows only differ slightly, i just copied most of the Authorization-Class, renamed it, removed the unnecessary parts and added all the files accordingly. I can load up the qtnetworkauth module and i can compile it with no errors. The output tells me that it compiles my new class QOAuth2ImplicitFlow and everything looks fine. But when i try to run a test that i wrote in qtnetworkauth/tests/auto/oauth2/tst_oauth2.cpp its gives me this error:

Qt/5.15.1/Src/qtnetworkauth/tests/auto/oauth2/tst_oauth2: undefined symbol: _ZN19QOAuth2ImplicitFlowC1EP7QObject, version Qt_5

When i try to use my class in the Reddit Example, it gives me some linker erorrs:

I know its a linking error but i cant manage to fix it or find the cause for it. Am i missing something? The .pro file looks like this and should be good i guess:

QT += widgets network networkauth
requires(qtConfig(listview))

TARGET = redditclient

# Input
SOURCES += main.cpp \
    redditmodel.cpp \
    redditwrapper.cpp

HEADERS += \
    redditmodel.h \
    redditwrapper.h

# install
target.path = $$[QT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES]/oauth/redditclient
INSTALLS += target

I did not post my code since it is pretty big but i can upload it somewhere if it helps.

Thanks in advance!

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Can you share your class declaration and code ?

[basyskom-dege]

Thanks for the quick answer! I removed the licence comments at the top of each file so they are not that big here.

Maybe a silly question but did you rebuild and install the module ?
If so, did you add these files to the relevant .pro file ?

[basyskom-dege]

Well i recompiled it and added all files to the relevant .pro files. The compiling output created the .o files and the compiling process looked fine. Do i have to do extra steps to install this? Qt creator finds the #include <QOAuth2ImplicitFlow> module and recognizes the functions. Just the linker does not.

[SGaist]

But did you install the module after rebuilding it ?

[basyskom-dege]

Thats it! Forgot the make install :( Well thanks for your help! It works now. The test runs and the linker errors are gone. Once it works as intendet (the implicit flow) I might do a pull request since I want to use it in the OpenAPI Code-Generator for Qt5. Thanks again!

[SGaist]

Great !

The patch submission is a really good idea. Do not hesitate :-)
