QFileInfo exists() and isFile() error
c++, file, qfile, qt
Solution
It seems vexing parse: compiler thinks that
QFileInfo fileInfo(QFile(path));
is a function definition like `QFileInfo fileInfo(QFile path);`
Use instead something like:
QFile ff(file);
QFileInfo fileInfo(ff);
bool test = (fileInfo.exists() && fileInfo.isFile());
Problem
I'm trying to check if provided path exists and if it is a file. So I wrote this piece of code: ``` #include <QFile> #include <QFileInfo> bool Tool::checkPath(const QString &path){ QFileInfo fileInfo(QFile(path)); return (fileInfo.exists() && fileInfo.isFile()); } ``` I get following compiler errors: `Error: request for member 'exists' in 'fileInfo', which is of non-class type 'QFileInfo(QFile)'` `Error: request for member 'isFile' in 'fileInfo', which is of non-class type 'QFileInfo(QFile)'` Why ? I'm reading through docs over and over again but I can't get it. BTW Qt Creator is suggesting me these methods and completes them. But compiler don't like it.
