Duplicate Imports

This warning category is spelled [duplicate-import] by qmllint.

Duplicate import

What happened?

The document contains duplicate import statements.

Why is that bad?

They pollute the document unnecessarily and may slow down startup of the app.

Example

import QtQuick.Controls
import QtQuick
import QtQuick 2.1 as QQ21
import QtQuick.Controls

Item {

}

To fix this warning, remove all but the last duplicated import. Be careful to not change the order of imports, as it can affect type resolution:

import QtQuick
import QtQuick 2.1 as QQ21 // different from the previous import
import QtQuick.Controls

Item {

}
