Warnings occurred while importing

[import] The imported module was not found.

This warning category is spelled [import] by qmllint.

Failed to import module

What happened?

The module imported via import statement was not found.

This can be caused, for example, by

  • a typo in the import statement, or

  • a user-defined module that was not built, or

  • a wrong import path , or

  • a missing module

Why is this bad?

The application can’t run because it can’t find a module it relies on.

Examples

Typo In The Import Statement

To fix this warning, correct the typo:

User-defined module that was not built

Some tooling like QML Language Server or qmllint can’t find user-defined modules when they are not built. If your project defines the QML Module you are trying to import, then the QML tooling will not find it until you build it.

Note

If building the module does not help when using QML Language Server , follow the instructions in QML Language Server setup instructions and make sure that you communicate the correct build folder to QML Language Server.

Wrong import path

Please refer to the QML import path documentation and to the debugging module import documentation for more information about import paths.

Missing module

If the previous sections did not help to find the imported module, it might be missing. This might be caused by a missing dependency. When using external libraries, verify that they are actually installed, and that their modules end up in an import path .

Component was not found

What happened?

Some component was not found.

Why is this bad?

The application can’t run because it can’t instantiate the non-found component.

Examples

Typo in the component name

To fix this warning, correct the typo:

Missing import statement

To fix this warning, add the missing module import:

Import qualifier must start with a capital letter

What happened?

Some imported module has an invalid qualifier.

Why is this bad?

The module imported with this invalid qualifier can’t be used.

Examples

To fix this warning, make the import qualifier start with an upper case letter:

Unknown import syntax

What happened?

An import statement is using an invalid import syntax .

Why is this bad?

The application can’t run because it can’t import a module it relies on.
