I am working on async multithreaded server, based on this example. Now, I the following method:
void UeClient::ueSlotReadyRead()
{
QList<QVariant> incomingData=QList<QVariant>();
QByteArray incomingMessage=this->ueSocket()->readAll();
UePosCommProtocolArch::UeCommand incomingCommand=UePOSCommProtocol::ueDecodeCommand(incomingMessage,
incomingData);
UeTask* ueTask=new UeTask("testDb",
"testUsername",
"testPassword",
"localhost",
"3306",
incomingCommand);
connect(ueTask,
SIGNAL(ueSignalTaskFinished(UePosCommProtocolArch::UeCommand,
QByteArray)),
this,
SLOT(ueSlotFetchData(UePosCommProtocolArch::UeCommand,
QByteArray)),
Qt::QueuedConnection);
QThreadPool::globalInstance()->start(ueTask);
} // ueSlotReadyRead
I get following runtime warning/error in QtCreator:
QObject::connect: No such signal UeTask::ueSignalTaskFinished(UePosCommProtocolArch::UeCommand, QByteArray) in ../../../net/ueclient.cpp:55
Here is UeTask class header file, from which we can see ueSignalTaskFinished(UePosCommProtocolArch::UeCommand& executedCommand, QByteArray& fetchedData); IS declared:

Why the hell am I a getting this runtime warning/error and signal is NOT connected to slot? This might be some dumb mistake made, but I have been struggling with this bug for several hours ...
I've managed to solve the problem via @peppe's answer and I've added const to SIGNAL's declaration:

Then I had to register meta type with:
qRegisterMetaType<UePosCommProtocolArch::UeCommand>("UePosCommProtocolArch::UeCommand");
in constructor of upper class:
UeClient::UeClient(QObject *parent,
UeSettings* const settings)
: QObject(parent)
{
qRegisterMetaType<UePosCommProtocolArch::UeCommand>("UePosCommProtocolArch::UeCommand");
QThreadPool::globalInstance()->setMaxThreadCount(10);
this->ueSetSettings(settings);
} // constructor
and now it works!
