Research direction

Start by reproducing the Mac build using brew-installed Qt and the .julia/assets/Overrides.toml override described in the issue. Check the resulting QML load for the missing QtQuick.Controls module and compare it with the expected setup for TabView and Tab. Done means the controls load without the warning, or a minimal reproducible example clearly identifies the failing build step.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I cannot get TabView or Tab to work on my Mac. I tried first brew install qt and then follow the steps to build from there, making the Overrides.toml in .julia/assets, but then I still got this error in the end:

Qt Warning: file:///Users/path/to/file.qml:2:1: module "QtQuick.Controls" is not installed (file:///Users/path/to/file.qml:2, (null))

I replaced the real paths with dummy paths.

Two questions:

  1. Is it expected that I have to build and override like this to use TabView and Tab? If this is unexpected, I can make a MWE and share.
  2. Is there an obvious next step to make this build process work? I reached the end of what I felt comfortable doing myself and with ChatGPT.
