Hi all,

I am using QProcess to launch an external application. The main part work without trouble, but I need to check for license errors and if one occurred, I need would like to restart the existing process with all it's environment settings and signal connections a certain number of times.

I connect QProcess.readyReadStandardError to a slot that toggles an attribute called self.in_error to True.
I also connect QProcess.stateChanged to another slot which looks like this:

    def __retry_process(self, process_state):
        max_retries = 5
        if (process_state == QtCore.QProcess.NotRunning) and self.in_error:
            # process has finished in an error state, so try to run it again
            self.current_try += 1
            print 'retrying {}/{}'.format(self.current_try, max_retries)
            self.process.start(self.process.program(), self.process.arguments())

This prints the line "retrying 1/5" but after that nothing happens. I can't see any log output from self.process so if seems to simply not be running the second time around. I thought this would recursively call self.process 5 times after failing the first time, since self.process.stateChanged is still connected to self__retry_process(), and the current_try attribute is on class level where it gets incremented on every unsuccessful try.

I am obviously wrong about that. Could someboy help me out please?

Cheers,
frank
