Troubles connecting thread and sending a signal

Time:11-26

My code below works but after a few times of ending the program and starting it again, the line

thread.started.connect(worker.work)

doesn't run and the files do not get sent to the GUI. Here is a breakdown of the problem:

Here is the usual results from the terminal when I send two hdf5 files to the folder:

But once I end the program and then restart it, perhaps the 3rd-5th time the connection doesn't go through and here are the results disregarding how many attempts I make on sending new hdf5 files to the folder:

running API pyqt5

try to connect to event service ...

And finally here is the code of the program that's affected by this. I am using Pycharm and the thread.started.connect(worker.work), specifically the word connect is highlighted and the warning message is Cannot find reference 'connect' in 'function | pyqtBoundSignal' :

thread = QThread(parent=self)  # this part is in the DesignerMainWindow() __init__() shown below
print('try to connect to event service ...')
worker = watchdog_search.Worker("/home/test_image_analyzer_files/Test_Data/")
worker.moveToThread(thread)
thread.started.connect(worker.work)
thread.start()
worker.new_file.connect(self.on_finished_run)


def run_app():
    try:
        # first try to get an existing app
        app = QtGui.QApplication.instance()
        reuseapp = True
        if app is None:
            app = QtGui.QApplication(sys.argv)
            reuseapp = False
    except:
        pass
    dmw = DesignerMainWindow()
    dmw.show()
    return dmw, app, reuseapp


if __name__ == "__main__":
    dmw, app, reuseapp = run_app()
    if "app" in globals() and not reuseapp:
        sys.exit(app.exec_())

And the watchdog_search file. Note here also the emit in self.new_file.emit(event.src_path, os.path.basename(event.src_path)) is highlighted and the warning is Cannot find reference 'emit' in 'pyqtSignal | pyqtSignal':

CodePudding user response:

I fixed the issue by using Daemon threading:

    worker = watchdog_search.Worker("/home/test_image_analyzer_files/Test_Data/")
    worker.new_file.connect(self.on_finished_run)
    thread = threading.Thread(target=worker.work)
    thread.setDaemon(True)
    thread.start()
