Looks good for a first interaction, thanks!

Please take a look at my comments, and please remove the PyCharm project files from the PR (the .idea folder).

seems like something is wrong with the imports.

[nicoddemus]

FYI decided to drop the load(path: Path) -> Any variant, because the user can easily just call loads(p.read_text(encoding=...)) instead of load(p), with the advantage that we do not need to guess an encoding.

[nrbnlulu]

no, that is not the same. qml files can import other qml files based on relative path.

[nicoddemus]

Not sure I follow, what does the fact that "qml files can import other qml files" relates to being able to load a qml file passing a Path? Can you exemplify?

Feel free to add it back, I removed because it seemed redundant and it the test was failing, but if it is not redundant we can revisit this.

[nrbnlulu]

you could though pass the pass in the url here self._comp.setData(content.encode("utf-8"), qt_api.QtCore.QUrl()) I think
though I don't know if it is really the same under the hood. this way or another still worth to keep.

[nrbnlulu]

In QML you can every file encapsulates a Component i.e if MyApp.qml lives near main.qml
You would do

import QtQuick

MyApp{}

and if i.e MyApp.qml resides in ./impl/MyApp.qml so you would need to import impl

import QtQuick
import "impl"

MyApp{}

Ahh on CI it is showing the same error I got locally:

_____________________________ test_load_from_file _____________________________

qmlbot = <pytestqt.qml.qmlbot.QmlBot object at 0x00000193133134C8>

    def test_load_from_file(qmlbot: QmlBot) -> None:
        item = qmlbot.load(Path(__file__).parent / "sample.qml")
>       assert item.property("hello") == "world"
E       AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'property'

[nrbnlulu]

are you on windows?

[nicoddemus]

Yes. 👍

[nicoddemus]

Hmm tests are crashing now... 😬

[nrbnlulu]

I'll have a look later tonight 🤞 Also I saw that there is pytest-qml, seems like it is not maintained. You think it should fit better there or it would be better to merge pytest-qml here?
