Need help in Qthread

[skumar434]

Hi All,
I have designed a page which will take the script name and run it . I am currently using Qprocess to run the script and printing the out put on the textEdit.
The code works fine when I give a small script , but the GUI hungs and I saw SEGV when I tried to run a simple script which only do "ls" in a loop for 300 times .

I belive all the error is at the time of reading / printing of the data on the text Edit.

I have very less knowledge on both debugging and QT , I tried alot to find the issue but when run with GDB I found this

gdb) where
#0 0x00aa27a2 in _dl_sysinfo_int80 () from /lib/ld-linux.so.2

301 int nselect = select(qt_qprocess_deadChild_pipe[0] + 1, &readset, 0, 0, 0);
Current language: auto; currently c++

As my above approch is blocking the GUI , Now I am need a way to read the out put of the process through a thread ... Can any body tell me how to create a thread which will take the script name as a argument and run it .

This is my Qprocess code

#include <QtGui>

#include "testcasefm.h"


testCaseFm::testCaseFm( QWidget * parent ): QWidget( parent )
{
setupUi(this);
scriptProcess = new QProcess( this );
label_targetName->setFocus();

testCaseFm::init();
//connect(label_targetName ,SIGNAL(setFocus()),this,SLOT(init()));
connect(pushButton_openScript ,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(pB_openScript()));
connect(pushButton_runScript ,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(pB_runScript()));
connect(pushButton_stopScript ,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(pB_stopScript()));
//connect(pushButton_closeTestcasefm ,SIGNAL(clicked()),this,SLOT(pB_close()));
connect(scriptProcess ,SIGNAL(readyReadStandardOutput()),this,SLOT(updat eOutputTextEdit()));
//connect(scriptProcess ,SIGNAL(readyReadStandardError()),this,SLOT(update ErrorOutputTextEdit()));
connect(scriptProcess ,SIGNAL(finished(int, QProcess::ExitStatus)),this,SLOT(processFinished(i nt, QProcess::ExitStatus)));
connect(scriptProcess ,SIGNAL(error(QProcess::ProcessError)),this,SLOT(p rocessError(QProcess::ProcessError)));

}

testCaseFm::~testCaseFm()
{
close();
}

void testCaseFm::init()
{
QString vtlip;
QFile file("/root/test/cfg/ATSCfg");
if (!file.open(QIODevice::ReadWrite | QIODevice::Text))
return;
QTextStream in(&file);
while(!in.atEnd()){
QString str = in.readLine();
if( str.contains("VTL_IP",Qt::CaseSensitive))
vtlip = str.section('"',1,1); }

label_vtlName->setText(vtlip);

file.close();
}

}


void testCaseFm::updateErrorOutputTextEdit()

QString text_error = textEdit->toPlainText()

void testCaseFm:rocessFinished(int exitCode, QProcess::ExitStatus exitStatus)

date = QDateTime::currentDateTime();
if ( exitStatus == QProcess::CrashExit ) {

}
// QStringList args;

QFileInfo info;

QString filename = QString("%1%2%3%4").arg("/root/tcf_logs/").arg(info.fileName()).arg("_").arg(date.toString (Qt::TextDate));
qDebug() << filename;
QFile file(filename);
if (!file.open(QFile::WriteOnly | QFile::Text)) {
QMessageBox::warning(this, tr("TCF"),
tr("Cannot write file %1:\n%2.")
.arg(filename)
.arg(file.errorString()));
return;
}

QTextStream out(&file);
QApplication::setOverrideCursor(Qt::WaitCursor);
out << textEdit->toPlainText();
QApplication::restoreOverrideCursor();

// statusBar()->showMessage(tr("Saved '%1'").arg(fileName), 2000);

}
// pushButton_runScript->setEnable(true);
void testCaseFm:rocessError( QProcess::ProcessError error )
{

if ( error == QProcess::FailedToStart ){
textEdit->append(tr(" Script was not able to start ..Please recheckthe path/filename"));
// pushButton_runScript->setEnable(true);
}
}

I would really appriciate if any body could at least tell me how ro proceed with this using Qthread.
