invalid application of 'sizeof' to incomplete type 'QVariant'

[Elnur_Ismailzada]

Hi!
I want to fill the combo box in qml from c++ class, but I have errors in the line return m_serialPortList;
Any ideas?

in SerialPortViewModel.h

Q_PROPERTY(QVariantList serialPortList READ getSerialPortList CONSTANT)

public:
    QVariantList getSerialPortList();
private:
    QVariantList m_serialPortList;

in SerialPortViewModel.cpp

QVariantList SerialPortViewModel::getSerialPortList()
{
    return m_serialPortList;
}

in main.cpp

engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("model", new SerialPortViewModel());

in main.qml

ComboBox {
         id: comboBoxSerialPorts
         model: model.serialPortList
}

error:

Hi, try #include <QVariant> in your SerialPortViewModel.h

@hskoglund thank you so much!!!
I import <QVarianList> and it solved my problem.
