QFileSystemWatcher empty QStringList file()

[Carmengg]

Hi everyone. I'm new here and I hope that someone can help me. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. My problem is that I am referring to a directory with 10 files but the function files() of QFileSystemWatcher class give me back a empty list. That's my code:

UploadDeleteFile.hpp

#ifndef UPLOADDELETEFILE_HPP_
#define UPLOADDELETEFILE_HPP_
 
#include "TestScheduler.hpp"
#include "accountInfoSettings.hpp"
#include <QFileSystemWatcher>
#include <QObject>
#include <QStringList>
 
class UploadDeleteFile : public QObject{
 
	Q_OBJECT
 
public:
	UploadDeleteFile(QObject *parent, TestScheduler *myTestScheduler, accountInfoSettings *myAccountInfoSettings);
	virtual ~UploadDeleteFile();
 
	QStringList getFileNameList();
	Q_INVOKABLE void setFileNameList();
 
	accountInfoSettings *accountInfo;
	QFileSystemWatcher fileSystem;
	TestScheduler *testScheduler;
	QStringList filelist;
	QString filename;
	int index;
};
 
#endif /* UPLOADDELETEFILE_HPP_ */

#ifndef UPLOADDELETEFILE_HPP_
#define UPLOADDELETEFILE_HPP_

#include "TestScheduler.hpp"
#include "accountInfoSettings.hpp"
#include <QFileSystemWatcher>
#include <QObject>
#include <QStringList>

class UploadDeleteFile : public QObject{

	Q_OBJECT

public:
	UploadDeleteFile(QObject *parent, TestScheduler *myTestScheduler, accountInfoSettings *myAccountInfoSettings);
	virtual ~UploadDeleteFile();

	QStringList getFileNameList();
	Q_INVOKABLE void setFileNameList();

	accountInfoSettings *accountInfo;
	QFileSystemWatcher fileSystem;
	TestScheduler *testScheduler;
	QStringList filelist;
	QString filename;
	int index;
};

#endif /* UPLOADDELETEFILE_HPP_ */

Any help is welcome. Thanks Carmen

You are not watching any files, only the directory "data/Tests/".

Could you give me more info? My files are in "data/Tests/" directory. I only need to read their names.
Thanks to replay me

Could you give me more info?

The file system watcher can be told to watch files and directories. You are only watching a directory, thus files() returns an empty list.

My files are in "data/Tests/" directory. I only need to read their names.

Maybe you are looking for QDir::entryList)()?

Thank you soooo much. That works
