P2: Important I can only reproduce this in dev branch. 5.12 works fine. Release build in dev also works.
The error is:

It seems the implicit conversion of char const* to std::string doesn't work. Converting the char* to std::string explicitly at the code lines fixes the error but this can't be a solution and also there are too many of them.
I also tried to build dev branch of QtWebEngine with Qt 5.12 and it worked. I'm not sure whether the issue is in QtWebEngine.
