Qt error in Anaconda 5.0 #6537

Closed akshaybabloo closed 7 years ago

akshaybabloo commented 7 years ago

I have upgraded from Anaconda 4.# to Anaconda 5.0 and tried running my PyQt application and I get the following error

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"
in "".

Available platform plugins are: minimal, offscreen, windows.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

And then Python crashes.

This happens to a simple example as well.

Update 1

Uninstalling qt and reinstalling did not do any good. I still get the same error.

Update 2

Updating the following packages 

qt:                 5.6.2-vc14_2          conda-forge [vc14] --> 5.6.2-vc14h6f8c307_12 [vc14]
pyqt: 5.6.0-py36hb5ed885_5  --> 5.6.0-py36_4 conda-forge
sip:  4.18.1-py36h9c25514_2 --> 4.18-py36_1  conda-forge

didn't change anything.

Update 3

Removed Anaconda completely, installed Miniconda then installed pyqt from anaconda channel. I still get the same error.

I don't know what else to do. Reverting back to Anaconda 5.

Update 4

I tried setting QT_QPA_PLATFORM_PLUGIN_PATH to Anaconda3\\Library\\plugins\\platforms via os.environ but now I get

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"
in "C:\Users\aksha\Anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms".

Available platform plugins are: minimal (from C:\Users\aksha\Anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms), offscreen (from C:\Users\aksha\Anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms), windows (from C:\Users\aksha\Anaconda3\Library\plugins\platforms), minimal, offscreen.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/1270 did not solve the problem.

I believe you are still likely using a mix of packages from conda-forge and defaults, probably due to settings in your %UserProfile%\.condarc file. Fresh re-installs still pickup existing values in that file and will fetch packages from conda-forge upon update. We are not yet compatible with conda-forge but it is our aim to achieve as much compatibility as we can as soon as possible.

How did you launch your application? When you installed Anaconda did you allow it to modify your PATH or are you using the Anaconda Prompt / Anaconda Navigator instead?

In your fresh re-install, from the Anaconda Prompt, can you show the output from:

conda list --show-channel-urls

and also the output from:

echo %PATH%

Thanks.

@mingwandroid I guess you are right. I deleted the .condarc file, deleted Anaconda folder and reinstalled it but I get the error something like Update 4

This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "windows"
in "C:\Users\aksha\Anaconda3\pkgs\qt-5.6.2-vc14h6f8c307_12\Library\plugins\platforms".

Available platform plugins are: minimal (from C:\Users\aksha\Anaconda3\pkgs\qt-5.6.2-vc14h6f8c307_12\Library\plugins\platforms), offscreen (from C:\Users\aksha\Anaconda3\pkgs\qt-5.6.2-vc14h6f8c307_12\Library\plugins\platforms), windows (from C:\Users\aksha\Anaconda3\pkgs\qt-5.6.2-vc14h6f8c307_12\Library\plugins\platforms), minimal, offscreen, windows.

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

I am using CMD, added the Anaconda3, Scripts and Library\bin to the path.

Okay, Qt is working from Anaconda Prompt but not from cmd.

Update 1

If I do activate root in cmd its working, if I am not in the Anaconda environment qt doesn't work. This used to be fine in Anaconda 4

All that means is that your conflicting DLLs that appear in your PATH before the Anaconda Distribution's DLLs were more compatible with the DLLs in Anaconda 4 than they are with the ones in Anaconda 5.

We have no control over those conflicting DLLs since they are provided by other software vendors and therefore we can do nothing about this.

This is exactly why everyone should use either the Anaconda Prompt or Anaconda Navigator and should elect not to let software (yes, any, including Anaconda Distribution) add itself to PATH on Windows when given such a choice.

@mingwandroid i think his path is good

mingwandroid commented 7 years ago

Why do you think this? That everything works when using the Anaconda Prompt indicates that the reporter has run into DLL-hell due to other DLLs getting loaded instead of Anaconda Distribution DLLs.

@mingwandroid oh, sorry, i mixed my condition with him. may create a new issue sometime.
