Webengine example fail with "Unknown module(s) in QT: webengine"

Do you know if the 5.8/Webkit binaries support a mix of HTML and JavaScript on the same page?

A real ancient version of WebKit I was using in Qt4.7.2 did not...which is what has prompted my attempted upgrade to Qt5x/WebEngine.

Like written in the documentation I linked, QtWebEngine is not available with MinGW for the reason I have already given.

As for Visual Studio, yes, it's up to you to install it. It has always been the case. Microsoft doesn't allow any third party to bundle its development suits.

Docs say it's there but it isn't. This is after a fresh install of 5.8,5.7 MinGW53_32 and 5.6 MinGW49_32

You need to install Qt 5.8.0 and extract QtWebKit binaries that you can download from link that I've posted above.

I am still using the qt 5.5.1 mingw version, and using the default webview in that QT version. One BIG problem I met is memory leak seems still in qt 5.5.1 mingw version ...

Is the memory leak problem resolved in the qtwebkit-tp5-qt58-mingw530-x86.zip or qtwebkit-5.212.0_alpha2-qt59-mingw530-x86.zip from https://github.com/annulen/webkit/releases ?

I just tried qt-opensource-windows-x86-mingw530-5.8.0.exe and qtwebkit-tp5-qt58-mingw530-x86.zip, For one of my project works well with qt 5.5.1 mingw, now got below error when compiling, anything I should modify? Or anything missing?

Thanks a lot!

What I am talking about the memory leak, is something as below:

Please try it out, IIRC I couldn't reproduce that issue.

Also, don't use QWebSettings::setObjectCacheCapacities(0,0,0), this indeed was causing leaks in the old versions, and WebKit isn't really tuned or even tested to operate with no cache at all.

Thanks for kind help, OK, I will try it out and report back.

BTW, is there any estimate target date for the beta or stable version? Thanks again.

Hello @Konstantin-Tokarev ,

I tried with 5.8.0 and 5.9.2 and your corresponding release of QtWebKit, seems still the same symptom, the memory will keep increasing if I refresh the page repeatedly.

BTW, the html pages I used are generated via vuejs, is that OK?

Thanks a lot.

Best regards, Jason

It now says Qt Webengine component is only supported for MSVC 2017, took me a while to figure out.
