[I] The script "Journal entry" doesn't work on Windows

[lambertlulala]

Expected behaviour

It should open a dialog to let me select a certain date.

Actual behaviour

Nothing happened. But the log showed an error message:
[23:43:43] [critical] file:///C:/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/PBE/QOwnNotes/scripts/journal-entry/calendar-window.qml:3 module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed file:///C:/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/PBE/QOwnNotes/scripts/journal-entry/calendar-window.qml:2 module "QtQuick.Layouts" is not installed file:///C:/Users/user/AppData/Roaming/PBE/QOwnNotes/scripts/journal-entry/calendar-window.qml:1 module "QtQuick.Dialogs" is not installed

Steps to reproduce

I installed the script "Journal entry" and click 'Scripting -> Custom actions -> Create or open a journal entry for a certain date'.

Did this script work before under Windows?

[pbek]

I can try to add more Qt libraries to the Windows release.

[pbek]

Could you please try https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/actions/runs/16555039991/artifacts/3624855296 and report if the script works there?

Did this script work before under Windows?

Sorry, I'm a new user, it's my first time to use QOwnNotes, not sure whether the script worked before.

Could you please try https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/actions/runs/16555039991/artifacts/3624855296 and report if the script works there?

This version also has the same issue, the log shows the same error as the one I mentioned. It indicates the modules "QtQuick.Controls", "QtQuick.Layouts" and "QtQuick.Dialogs" are not installed.

[pbek]

Too bad, thank you for testing. I can try adding one more library.

[lambertlulala]

Thank you! I can help test it.

[pbek]

Too bad, the library declarative doesn't seem to exist anymore as an option for windeployqt.

[pbek]

But it seems the script never worked under Windows... See https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/issues/197

[lambertlulala]

But it seems the script never worked under Windows... See qownnotes/scripts#197

It seems the approach to use them on Windows differ from on others. I have tested other scripting APIs provided by QOwnNotes, and they work without errors, it means that the issue is just really missing some modules. How could I install those modules if it's necessary for users to install them manually?

[lambertlulala]

I ask ChatGPT, it says that I could check whether the modules are installed in the folder such as QOwnNotes\qml\QtQuick\Controls.

And the below is the folder structure in QOwnNotes\qml:

C:.

        qmldir
        qmlwebsocketsplugin.dll

I'm not sure whether it's your expected result.

Not sure whether it looks more reasonable?

If you install Qt 9.6.1 (e.g. via https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer-oss) and are able to find out with libraries (most of the time they are in C:\Qt) to copy where in the QOwnNotes folder I can do that in the release script.

[lambertlulala]

I install Qt 6.9.1 and copy its QtQuick into QOwnNotes folder and unfortunately it says "qtquickdialogsplugin.dll" can not found module. But the file already exists there.

Thank you for the help, I think the issue may be hard to resolve on Windows.

[pbek]

In the Qt installation dialog there should be some further options to add additional modules. Can you see them?

Yes, I can see 'Additional Libraries' and select them all.

After I copy all folders and files from Qt into QOwnNotes qml, the folder structure is shown below:

But unfortunately the QOwnNotes log shows an error:

Meaning it can not find some specific modules, but I don't know what modules.

Did you put the DLL there, or is it missing? And if it is missing, can you find it in the Qt installation?

Yes, the file is there. I'm not sure whether that library needs other runtime libraries to be installed, or they have some dependencies on Windows.

[pbek]

D:\Downloads\QOwnNotes_test\QOwnNotes\qml\QtQuick\Dialogs\qtquickdialogsplugin.dll

You put the file there, didn't you? Where did you take it from? The Qt versions need to match. In your case that would still be Qt 6.10.

With the ZIP from https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/actions/runs/16604354643 it will be Qt 6.9.1.

Yes, I put the file there, very sure. If I didn't put there, QOwnNotes will not tell me that the information about D:\Downloads\QOwnNotes_test\QOwnNotes\qml\QtQuick\Dialogs\qtquickdialogsplugin.dll. Instead, it just told me it needed QtQuick relevent modules.

I installed Qt 6.9.1, not 6.10. The version it showed from file detail dialog on Windows is 6.9.1.0, not 6.10.

[pbek]

So have you tried to put libraries into the release from https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/actions/runs/16604354643?

[pbek]

By the way:

25.7.9

• More libraries were added to the Windows release of QOwnNotes to improve the compatibility with certain scripts from the script repository (for #3332)

But that's just the libraries that didn't help you with the script yet. Key would be to find out which files to copy from the Qt installation to the QOwnNotes release so that the script work, since windeployqt isn't helping.

[lambertlulala]

So have you tried to put libraries into the release from https://github.com/pbek/QOwnNotes/actions/runs/16604354643?

Thank you for building a new version again! I have tested it, but it still has the same error:

[15:02:14] [critical] file:///D:/Downloads/QOwnNotes/Data/scripts/journal-entry/calendar-window.qml:1 Cannot load library D:\Downloads\QOwnNotes\qml\QtQuick\Dialogs\qtquickdialogsplugin.dll: 找不到指定的模組。 

The step I have tried is:

1. Rename the folder qml under QOwnNotes to the other name.
2. Copy the whole folder C:\Qt\6.9.1\mingw_64\qml into QOwnNotes folder. qtquickdialogsplugin.dll is also included.
3. Run the custom script from Custom actions menu.

I'm not sure whether some release steps (official) are changed on Windows, or the usage of windeployqt has changed. Thank you for the help! I think that built-in scripting APIs are enough for daily use.

[pbek]

Copy the whole folder C:\Qt\6.9.1\mingw_64\qml into QOwnNotes folder. qtquickdialogsplugin.dll is also included.

https://github.com/jurplel/install-qt-action?tab=readme-ov-file#arch says it might be using win64_msvc2022_64.

And then:

Thanks for your sharing! I find that Qt doesn't install msvc2022 libraries by default. I'll select the option and test it.

[lambertlulala]

QOwnNotes finally uses the correct modules, but it has another error:

D:/Downloads/QOwnNotes/Data/scripts/journal-entry/journal-entry.qml
[20:37:55] [critical] file:///D:/Downloads/QOwnNotes/Data/scripts/journal-entry/calendar-window.qml:1 module "QtQuick.Dialogs" version 1.2 is not installed 

Note that I also copied all .dll files from C:\Qt\6.9.1\msvc2022_64\bin to QOwnNotes, but I didn't overwrite those existing .dll files.

[pbek]

So more libraries are missing 🤔😁

For comparison, this is the content of the Qt directory in the CI:

It looks like it can find QtQuick.Dialogs installed, but:

Your code is importing QtQuick.Controls 1.4, but the Calendar type is only available in QtQuick.Controls 2.x. To fix the error, update your import to use QtQuick.Controls 2.4 (or higher), and ensure you are using the correct Calendar API.

Wild guess from ChatGPT... Can you please try to use import QtQuick.Controls 2.4 instead of 1.4 or no version in line 3?
