QWebEngineView - Load html from resources
c++, qt, qtwebengine, qtwidgets
Solution
As suggested I will put the solution from the comments above as an answer for future users having the same issue.
"[...] I coincidentally cleaned the project and hit "Run qmake" and then ran the project again. This time it worked with any of the three urls. That's so frustrating. Thanks for your assistance @deW1"
Problem
I'm currently playing around with `QWebEngineView` in Qt 5.8 and I would like to load an `index.html` file from my `.qrc` file. My `.pro` file looks like this: ``` TEMPLATE = app TARGET = Launcher QT += webenginewidgets CONFIG += c++14 SOURCES += main.cpp RESOURCES += \ launcher.qrc ``` My `main.cpp` file looks like this: ``` #include <QApplication> #include <QWebEngineView> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication a(argc, argv); QWebEngineView view; view.load(QUrl("qrc:/html/index.html")); view.resize(1024, 768); view.show(); return a.exec(); } ``` In my project there is a `launcher.qrc` file: ``` <RCC> <qresource prefix="/html"> <file>index.html</file> </qresource> </RCC> ``` Inside `index.html` I just added the text `Hello World` without anything else. When I start the application I just get a "Website not reacheable" error screen. I then googled around and tried several different attempts to specify the resource url to my `QWebEngineView`: ``` view.setUrl(QUrl("qrc:/html/index.html")); // Same error page view.page()->setUrl(QUrl("qrc:/html/index.html")); // Same error page view.page()->load(QUrl("qrc:/html/index.html")); // Same error page ``` If I change the resource url from `qrc:/html/index.html` to `:/html/index.html` I don't get this error page anymore but a blank page instead. If I then rightclick the window and select "View page source" the page source is empty, too. I recently got this working with a fresh Qt Quick Application created with Qt Creator 4.2.2 using the same `qrc:...` url. Now I created a Qt Widgets Application and it doesn't work anymore. What am I missing here?
