Uncreatable type

This warning category is spelled c{[uncreatable-type]} by qmllint.

Namespace must start with an upper case letter

What happened?

You used a QML object from a lower-case namespace.

Why is this bad?

The QML language forbids lower-case namespaces.

Example

import QtQuick as quick

quick.Item { ... }

To fix the warning, rename the namespace to start with a capital letter:

import QtQuick as Quick

Quick.Item { ... }

Singleton type is not creatable

What happened?

You tried to instantiate a QML object from a singleton type.

Why is this bad?

The QML language forbids instantiations of singletons.

Example

import QtQuick

Item {
    Qt { // note: Qt is a singleton type
        id: qt
    }

    property string someProperty: qt.uiLanguage
}

To fix the warning, use the singleton directly without instantiating it:

import QtQuick

Item {
    property string someProperty: Qt.uiLanguage
}

Type is not creatable

What happened?

You tried to instantiate a QML object from an uncreatable type.

Why is this bad?

Uncreatable types are specifically marked to forbid instantiations. You might be misusing a type that should only be used as an attached type or as an interface.

Example

Attached type misuse

import QtQuick

Item {
    Keys {
        onPressed: function (key) { ... }
    }
}

To fix the warning, use the Keys attached type instead of instantiating it:

import QtQuick

Item {
    Keys.onPressed: function (key) { ... }
}

Interface misuse

import QtQuick

Item {
    property PointerHandler myHandler: PointerHandler {}
}

To fix the warning, use a more specific derived type like TapHandler:

import QtQuick

Item {
    property PointerHandler myHandler: TapHandler {}
}
