Thanks Jerome,

it looks like simply declaring "object" as the signal type makes it work.
Not sure if this is one of those things that PySide just makes easier, which might be the reason why I haven't found any info or examples on how to "register on meta type" with it.
I'm curious about this but need to press on with a delivery.

Thanks for your answer, I will try and get into the docs for QMetaObject some more later to see if there is a better way to handle my case.

Cheers,
frank

You will probably need to have the object declared to the meta type (sorry I don't known the call, but there must be one into PySide 2, you might want to dig into the doc near this https://doc.qt.io/qtforpython/PySide2/QtCore/QMetaObject.html ) and ideally be copiable since you will send the signal from another thread (from your QRunnable). So the signal will probably be queued adn therefore will need to copy the arguments to the signals.

    Hi all,

    I am trying to emit a custom object via QObject.Signal from inside
    a QRunnable.
    The object I am trying to emit throws this error:

        TypeError: Value types used on meta functions (including
        signals) need to be registered on meta type:
        /NameSpace:://NameSpace/::Clip

    I tried to trick it by creating a wrapper class like so

    |class NodeItem(QtCore.QObject): def __init__(self, node, clip):
    QtCore.QObject.__init__(self) self.node = node self.clip = clip |

    But that crashes the app when I try to emit it from a QRunnable,
    even though it works i the main thread.

    I have tried to find information on how to register meta types but
    cn only find C++ info about Q_DECLARE_METATYPE.
    This does not seem to exist in Python land though?!

    Does anybody have any ideas? I’m kinda stuck with this one.

    Cheers,
    frank
