Today when I was working on a small QML program, I ran into a very stupid bug. I used a Timer
to make something happen after five seconds. So I did:
Timer {
id: someTimer
interval: 5000
onTriggered: function() {
// do something
}
}
and triggered the timer elsewhere using someTimer.start()
. However, that did not work; the timer was never triggered for some reason.
Well, after about one hour and a half, and a lot of messing around with example code that ‘magically’ did work, I suddenly saw it. That function()
is incorrect:
Timer {
id: someTimer
interval: 5000
onTriggered: {
// do something
}
}
which indeed fixed the issue. Sigh. I don’t even know why I put that there in the first place… Sometimes the most stupid bugs can keep you busy for hours.
