Using stackview with qrc

[EwaldVDM]

qrc:/qt/qml/MyApp/qml/MyApp/Main.qml:11:5: QML StackView: initialItem: qrc:/qml/pages/LoginPage.qml:-1 No such file or directory

Im strugling to see why it cannot find my qml file to load?

I have tried with both the qrc file path and the alias:

Main.qml:

    import QtQuick
    import QtQuick.Controls
    
    ApplicationWindow {
        visible: true
        minimumWidth: 300
        minimumHeight: 600
        width: 400
        height: 800
    
        StackView {
            id: mainStack
            anchors.fill: parent
            initialItem: "qrc:/qml/pages/LoginPage.qml"
        }
    
    }
resources.qrc:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/qml">
        <file alias="pages/LoginPage.qml">qml/MyApp/pages/LoginPage.qml</file>
        <file alias="Main.qml">qml/MyApp/Main.qml</file>
</qresource>
<qresource prefix="/assets">
        <file alias="fonts/Fredoka-Regular.ttf">assets/fonts/Fredoka/Fredoka-Regular.ttf</file>
        <file alias="icons/logo.png">assets/icons/logo.png</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

When using absolute path and not qrc it works fine. I did add it to resources in my CMakeLists.txt

Wondering If im missing something else since it loads the qrc file and the qml file does exist?

Please show your CMakeLists.txt where you add the qrc to your executable.

@EwaldVDM said in Using stackview with qrc:

qrc:/qt/qml/MyApp/qml/MyApp/Main.qml

As you can see here, your path specified for initialItem is wrong.
Please read https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qt-add-qml-module.html#adding-sources-and-resources-to-the-module for an explanation why qt/qml/MyApp is added to your resource path.

Thank you!

I got rid of the .qrc file: https://forum.qt.io/topic/145308/qt-6-5-qml-in-qrc-vs-qt_add_qml_module-what-is-better/3

CMakeLists.txt:

set_source_files_properties(qml/MyApp/Main.qml PROPERTIES QT_RESOURCE_ALIAS "Main.qml")
set_source_files_properties(qml/MyApp/pages/LoginPage.qml PROPERTIES QT_RESOURCE_ALIAS "pages/LoginPage.qml")
qt_add_qml_module(appultiphone
    URI MyApp
    VERSION 1.0
    RESOURCE_PREFIX "/"
    QML_FILES
        qml/MyApp/Main.qml
        qml/MyApp/pages/LoginPage.qml
    RESOURCES
        assets/fonts/Fredoka/Fredoka-Regular.ttf
        assets/icons/logo.png
)

    StackView {
        id: stack
        anchors.fill: parent
        initialItem: "qrc:/MyApp/pages/LoginPage.qml" <--------------
    }

So, as I understand it, we specify the URI MyApp (Which gets loaded in main.cpp as a module) and then append the alias you give it in the set_source_file_properties()
