ListModel
produces unexpected and pretty much broken results when trying to insert a JS object which contains an array:
property ListModel model : ListModel {}
Component.onCompleted: {
var a = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
console.log(a)
model.append({"a" : a})
console.log(model.get(model.count - 1))
console.log(model.get(model.count - 1).a)
Output is:
qml: [1,2,3,4,5]
qml: QObject(0x3cccd58)
qml: QQmlListModel(0x3cd0978)
However, if the array is joined into a string, it works as expected:
console.log(a)
a = a.join(",")
model.append({"a" : a})
console.log(model.get(model.count - 1))
console.log(model.get(model.count - 1).a)
qml: [1,2,3,4,5]
qml: QObject(0x3d5da60)
qml: 1,2,3,4,5
A few observations - it seems like the array is somehow "converted" to a QQmlListModel
, and it is another list model instance, not the one that's being appended to. Also, initially I though this might indeed be some auto conversion and expected that list model to contain the five numbers and indeed count
is 5, however get(0)
returns an undefined
. So while the size matches that of the array, there isn't any valid content whatsoever.
I am pretty sure it is a bug, but nevertheless I'd ask if someone knows what is going on before filing a bug report.
