QWebChannel - QWebSocket - threading problem

[RafalNiewinski]

Thank you for your interest.

sendMessage is overridden [pure virtual slot] of QWebChannelAbstractTransport
I am using this with QWebChannel so sendMessage is called by QWebChannel mechanism
for example as an automatic confirmation response for method called remotely from client side.
When I need to manually (from my code) send message to client, I simply emit a signal from my object registered for publish in QWebChannel object.


My textMessageReceived is connected to QWebSocket that way in constructor

connect(this->socket, SIGNAL(textMessageReceived(QString)), this, SLOT(textMessageReceived(QString)));

connect(this->socket, SIGNAL(textMessageReceived(QString)), this, SLOT(textMessageReceived(QString)));

That is simplified backtrace for thread running my objects in case of my first example above

That looks ok, the cross thread signal/slot connection handling should have transported the call into the thread of "this".

Yes of course, all objects was moved to the same (new) thread.
I checked that by calling this on each object and all resides in same thread.

qDebug() <<x.thread();

qDebug() <<x.thread();

Right, then the best choice is likely to see where the call is coming from that triggers the warning.
