MySql driver

[hdhaheri]

When running the application on another machine using the generated DistributionKit folder, I get QMYSQL driver not loaded. I checked the plugins/sqldrivers folder and it has the driver. How to solve this issue. Thank you

Thanks for question.
The problem is that you do not have the mysql client in the distribution that is needed for the mysql driver to work.
this is usually solved by installing this client on a remote machine or adding the appropriate libraries to the distribution.

Solution 1.

sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient*

Solution 2.

make cqtdeployer grab the mysql client
uses option extraLibs and extractPlugins
extraLibs - will force cqtdeployer to search for the specified library in all places of the system.
extractPlugins - will force cqtdeployer to check qt plugin dependencies

cqtdeployer ... -extraLibs libmysqlclient extractPlugins

or if you use deploy file

{
 "extraLibs": "libmysqlclient",
 "extractPlugins": true
}

Attention

libmysqlclient will most likely be on the system, so you will need the cqtdeployer installed with the installer and not from the snap store.

The fact is that the snap version does not currently have access to system libraries.

I agree that all actions that solve your problem are not obvious and not convenient. according to this, I will take on the task #371 of automating this entire process.

Now cqtdeployer should be automatically copу the mysql client library into a distribution kit of you application.
