P2: Important Description
Since upgrading from 6.8.1.1 to 6.8.2, PySide6 fails to work on a GitLab CI machine. Linux still works the same. I tried the two versions back and forth - 6.8.1.1 works, 6.8.2 fails, on the same machine, using the same image (mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server:ltsc2022).
Interestingly, pyinstaller works, and running tests using pytest bundled in the executable works, too. So it does not seem like the OS is missing dependencies in particular.
Using docker image sha256:16f97fcf444087ca9ebac8ee15ced4d1ef1e4c34dc153eddc34bd38f19c02ce2 for mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server:ltsc2022 with digest mcr.microsoft.com/windows/server@sha256:15bb094bfbb1969915096cc05ef0cebfccaa84bedf1893cdd3cd2a4876680336 ...
I could reduce the problem to this:
6.8.1.1:
$ python -c "from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication; QApplication()" Invalid code page $ pyright ...
6.8.2 - note how "Unable to import Shiboken from ..." seems to be using an empty first path (which seems to be normal: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49559060/880783)
$ python -c "from PySide6.QtWidgets import QApplication; QApplication()"
Invalid code page

ImportError: DLL load failed while importing Shiboken: The specified module could not be found.
The changelogs do not really reveal anything to me:
- PySide6 - Qt for Python
- Shiboken6 - Qt for Python
The pipeline is private, so I cannot share access or even a full log, but I will be happy to run commands for debugging. (Unfortunately, GitLab Windows Container CI does not allow remoting into the session as it does for Linux-based ones...)
And yes, shiboken6 is installed:
