QStateMachine, not getting entered()

**wysota** · 18th November 2009, 15:34

It's an asynchronous call. The machine will start next time Qt enters the event loop.

I have no other events running at that time.
I checked if it was running later in the app and it still comes back with stopped

As already said, provide a minimal compilable example reproducing the problem. I can't help you without knowing what you did.

I managed to find the problem. When you mentioned about it being an asynchronous call got me thinking. I found that I was calling the state machine in the constructor of my dialog and was trying to trigger it too early. I then added a slot/signal combination to wait for the started() signal from the state machine before trying to create the TCP socket and now all appears fine.

Thanks for your help.
