QMySqlDrivers not Working

[The-VoyZ]

I dont know if im just Stupid or what.
But i dont seem to get it to Work at all.
Im Trying to get the MySqlDrivers to Work but even after 8 Hours Compiling and Trouble shooting it wont work for me.

Information im not using QTDesign Studio. Im just using the Designer and PyQT6 with QT 6.5.1 (i also tryed downloading your Precompiled drivers)
Even after trying some of the Suggestions from your Solved Issues.
Copying them into the PyQt6 Python folder and also into the folder where the main.py is. Im getting this error:

QSqlDatabase: QMYSQL driver not loaded
QSqlDatabase: available drivers: QSQLITE QMARIADB QMYSQL QODBC QPSQL

Im totaly lost right now.

Hi,
try the following:

• ensure using pip list command that the correct PyQt6 version is installed
• Copy qsqlmysql.dll from https://github.com/thecodemonkey86/qt_mysql_driver/files/11768056/qsqlmysql.dll_Qt_SQL_driver_6.5.1_MSVC2019_64-bit.zip to C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\Lib\site-packages\PyQt6\Qt6\plugins\sqldrivers, (assuming you use Python 3.10, otherwise adjust the path) and insert your user name into the path
• Copy libmysql.dll, libcrypto-3-x64.dll and libssl-3-x64.dll from the zip to an arbitrary folder and add this folder to your PATH environment variable, either permanently via Windows Control Panel -> advanced system settings -> environment variables, or temporarily via command line set PATH=%PATH%:C:\your\path
• make sure you set the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS variable: set QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1 in case it's not working yet. Maybe this reveals some hints, where Qt is looking for plugins for example
• then run your project from command line e.g. py main.py

Hi thanks for the fast answer.
I tryed the steps you just posted :)
But unfortunetly id doesnt work.

I got this debug output:
(only the last few lines where the code got the error)

Im running the code in vscode 2023. Using Python 3.11
I copied the qsqlmysql.dll in the corect path.
And added the other files to a directory and set the path in the envirment variables : C:\MySqlDriver

i dont know if im understanding something wrong. Might it be possible to do this conversation in german ?
Thanks in Advance !

I Double Checked the qsqlmysql.dll is in the correct folder and also the other 3 files are in the correct folder.

I tested it on a completly fresh Windows install. Just with PyQt6 installed and Packages needed for the code to run.
Did all the steps again and i unfortunetly got the same result.
I think im doing something wrong.

Klar. Für mich sieht das so aus, als würde die qsqlmysql.dll immer noch nicht die libmysql.dll finden. Wie wurde der Pfad zur libmysql.dll in die PATH-Variable eingetragen? Falls über die Systemsteuerung, könnte es sein, dass man Windows neu starten muss, damit das überall greift. Ansonsten könnte evtl. noch Dependency Walker oder dessen modernere Alternative https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies angewendet auf qsqlmysql.dll weiterhelfen

Wie wurde der Pfad zur libmysql.dll in die PATH-Variable eingetragen?

C:\MySqlDriver das ist der Path den ich angegeben habe. Dort sind die 3 lib files drin.
Im Python Folder habe ich dann halt die qsqlmysql.dll untergebracht wie angegeben.

Windows hatte ich Neu Gestartet danach. War auch mein erster verdacht das das zu Problemen führen könnte.

Der Dependency Walker hatt mir aufjedenfall was ausgespuckt. Anscheinend fehlt der Qt6Sql.dll und die QT6Core.dll
Habe den Path dahin hinzugefügt und siehe da :

qt.core.library: "C:/Users/USER/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python311/Lib/site-packages/PyQt6/Qt6/plugins/sqldrivers/qsqlmysql.dll" loaded library
Database Connected

💯 Du bist ein Held ! Ich danke dir so sehr !

For those who might have the Same problem as me even when importing every thing correctly and you stil got the same error.
As from @thecodemonkey86 Suggested Try Using https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies and see if the Qt6Sql.dll and the Qt6Core.dll is not loaded properly.

if that is the Case you need to add this to your path:
\Tools\QtCreator\bin (there are the files hiding)
or \Tools\QtDesignStudio\bin

Then the qsqlmysql.dll can be read correctly and it will work.
It might be the Problem that i used Python 3.11 or Qt did not correctly got assigned to my Path.
