Bug 56536 – [Qt] console.log not being exposed to QmlViewer

• Component: New Bugs
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Damian Jansen]

In the QML WebView documentation (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/main-snapshot/qml-webview.html), for the javaScriptWindowObjects property there is the following snippet:

WebView {
     javaScriptWindowObjects: QtObject {
         WebView.windowObjectName: "qml"

         function qmlCall() {
             console.log("This call is in QML!");
         }
     }

     html: "<script>console.log(\"This is in WebKit!\"); window.qml.qmlCall();</script>"
}

According to the documentation, the output of this snippet should be:

This is in WebKit!
This call is in QML!
Trying the example in qmlviewer.exe, with a recent git checkout of Qt gives only the second line. The first line "This is in WebKit!" is not being displayed.

That looks like bogus documentation to me. Alexis, do you know if we are exposing the inspector console to QML?

Damian, is it on device or on desktop? Device build don't have the inspector...

Reproduced on multiple platforms, including Linux desktop and Symbian devices.

Though I have a feeling that this output is not something one should be able to see without some kind of javascript debugger running for the given browser.
