pythonpyqtqprocess

Why does QProcess returns Starting state even after killing the process?

I cannot understand why the program is returning starting state value which is 1 even after killing it.

Before starting it, it gives 0 value which is NotRunning and after starting it it gives 1.

What am I doing wrong here?

self.p = QProcess()
print("before start state: ", self.p.state())
self.p.start("python", ['run.py'])
print("after start state: ", self.p.state())

self.p.kill()
p = self.p.state()
print("after kill state: ", p)
Solution

  • Because the QProcess doesn't start/finish immediately after calling start/kill, you should connect to Qprocess::started() and Qprocess::finished(int exitCode, QProcess::ExitStatus exitStatus = NormalExit) signals.
