I’m working on a small app and I’m having difficulty importing a QML file from a QRC resource file.

My QRC is as follows:

<RCC>
    <qresource prefix="/qml">
        <file alias="ProductionPane">qml/view/ProductionPane.qml</file>
        <file alias="SideBar">qml/view/SideBar.qml</file>
        <file alias="TestingView">qml/view/TestingView.qml</file>
        <file alias="LogView">qml/view/LogView.qml</file>
        <file alias="StatsView">qml/view/StatsView.qml</file>
        <file alias="MyButton">qml/comp/MyButton.qml</file>
    </qresource>
    <qresource prefix="/assets">
        <file alias="Logo">assets/img/logo.png</file>
    </qresource>
    <qresource prefix="/">
        <file>main.qml</file>
    </qresource>
</RCC>

The files are “physically” organized in the following manner:

main.qml
main.py
rc_resources.py

qml/view/LogView.qml
qml/view/ProductionPane.qml
qml/view/SideBar.qml
qml/view/StatsView.qml
qml/view/TestingView.qml

qml/comp/MyButton.qml

assets/img/logo.png

Here’s my main.py file:

import sys
from pathlib import Path

from PySide6.QtGui import QGuiApplication
from PySide6.QtQml import QQmlApplicationEngine

import rc_resources

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QGuiApplication(sys.argv)
    engine = QQmlApplicationEngine()
    
    engine.addImportPath("qrc:/view")

    engine.load(QUrl("qrc:/main.qml"))

    if not engine.rootObjects():
        sys.exit(-1)
    sys.exit(app.exec())

And finally, my main.qml file:

import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Window
import QtQuick.Controls

import "qrc:/qml/ProductionPane"
import "qml/view"

Window {
    id: mainWindow
    minimumWidth: 1024
    minimumHeight: 768
    width: 1920
    height: 1080
    title: qsTr("FooBar")

    ProductionPane {
        id: productionPane
        anchors.fill: parent
    }

    SideBar {
        onViewChanged: productionPane.loaderSource = view
    }
}

Without import "qml/view" in main.qml, the ProductionPane and SideBar objects aren’t recognized in QT creator.

I verified (in main.py after instantiation of the QQmlApplicationEngine object) that QFileInfo(":/qml/ProductionPane").exists() returns true, so I know that the engine can find the QML file in the QRC file, but importing it isn’t working, as I’m getting the following error when running it:

qrc:/main.qml:4:1: "qrc:/qml/ProductionPane": no such directory

I get this error when I use "qrc:/qml/ProductionPane".

":/qml/ProductionPane" results in an IDE error File or directory not found.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!
