No specific warning when trying to expose a C++ type to QML which has no default constructor

XMLWordPrintable

      I had a type which I had copied from elsewhere and had forgotten to remove its constructor:

          class ComponentCreator : public QObject
    {
        Q_OBJECT
        QML_ELEMENT
        QML_SINGLETON
        Q_MOC_INCLUDE(<QtQml/qqmlcomponent.h>)

    public:
        ComponentCreator(QQmlEngine *engine);

        Q_INVOKABLE QQmlComponent *createComponent(const QByteArray &data);
    };

      Attemping to use this in QML resulted in a vague warning:

      QWARN  : tst_controls::Basic::StackView::test_componentCreatedFromCpp() file:///home/mitch/dev/qt-dev/qtdeclarative/tests/auto/quickcontrols2/controls/data/tst_stackview.qml:1555: TypeError: Cannot call method 'createComponent' of undefined

      It would be easier for users to understand what was going wrong if there was a specific error message. For example:

      "ComponentCreator cannot be exposed to QML because it has no default constructor."
