Qt qdbusxml2cpp no output

I want to allow my app to expose functions to the dbus. I generated the following xml for my class:

<!DOCTYPE node PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD D-BUS Object Introspection 1.0//EN" "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/dbus/1.0/introspect.dtd">
<node>
  <interface name="local.ConnectionController">
    <method name="onSetConnection">
      <arg name="keyname" type="s" direction="in"/>
      <arg name="connected" type="b" direction="in"/>
    </method>
  </interface>
</node>

How ever when I try to run the xml2cpp generator I get no error message no output, nothing the process does not even exit.

qdbusxml2cpp -a controller.xml

When using the verbose option I get no output either. I am using qdbusxml2cpp version 0.8.

Why does the tool not do anything?

Solution

  • The problem is that the .xml must be before the "-a" option and put the file name after "-a":

    qdbusxml2cpp controller.xml -a name_of_file
