AttributeError: 'Ui_MainWindow' object has no attribute 'setCentralWidget'

Question

I am still working on the GUI for my Database and now i have a different error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "G:\Python\Database Kast Thuis\PyQt Test\MainMenu_ui.py", line 84, in <module>
    ex = Ui_MainWindow()
  File "G:\Python\Database Kast Thuis\PyQt Test\MainMenu_ui.py", line 16, in __init__
    self.setupUi(self)
  File "G:\Python\Database Kast Thuis\PyQt Test\MainMenu_ui.py", line 55, in setupUi
    MainWindow.setCentralWidget(self.centralwidget)
AttributeError: 'Ui_MainWindow' object has no attribute 'setCentralWidget'

I dont understand a thing about PyQt so i dont understand what the problem is.

The code is: (This is the edited version, Raw Version is Posted below)

Does anyone see the problem?

Answer 1

Qt Designer serves to generate the design of the view, pyuic5 converts that design into python code, this element must be used with logic, in addition it is recommended not to modify it.

first solution:

import sys

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    ex = Ui_MainWindow()
    w = QtWidgets.QMainWindow()
    ex.setupUi(w)
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Second Solution:

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent=parent)
        ui = Ui_MainWindow()
        ui.setupUi(self)


import sys

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = MainWindow()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

Third solution:

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super(MainWindow, self).__init__(parent=parent)
        self.setupUi(self)



import sys

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = MainWindow()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
