    Description

      The lowenergyscanner example in QtBluetooth (https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-5.11/qtbluetooth-lowenergyscanner-example.html) uses a global context property:

      Device d;
      QQuickView *view = new QQuickView;
      view->rootContext()->setContextProperty("device", &d);
      

      During the execution of the example the QML engine returns a ReferenceError:

      qrc:/assets/Services.qml:120: ReferenceError: device is not defined

      The offending code line is triggered by the following code section:

      MouseArea {
          anchors.fill: parent
          onClicked: {
               pageLoader.source = "Characteristics.qml"; //Line 1
               device.connectToService(modelData.serviceUuid); //Line 2
          }
      }
      

      If Line1 and Line2 are swapped the reference error disappears. To reach this point of the example execution the following steps have to be taken:

      1. start lowenergyscanner
      2. click on "Search" (and wait until search complete)
      3. click on a BTLE device that you can connect to (and wait until service discovery is done)
      4. click on a service in the list

      The last click triggers the above connectToService() call.
