I'm creating an application with two windows using pyqt5 and QtDesigner. A button on the main window "MainWindow.ui" should open a second window from the file "age_entry.ui" but I seem to be missing something. Clicking the button on the first form produces this error":
Exception "unhandled TypeError" QDialog(parent: QWidget = None, flags: Union[Qt.WindowFlags, Qt.WindowType] = Qt.WindowFlags()): argument 1 has unexpected type 'bool'
Here is the code for the main window:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import sys
from PyQt5 import uic, QtWidgets
Ui_MainWindow, QtBaseClass = uic.loadUiType("MainWindow.ui")
LandingPageUI, LandingPageBase = uic.loadUiType("age_entry.ui")
class MyApp(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self):
QtWidgets.QMainWindow.__init__(self)
Ui_MainWindow.__init__(self)
self.setupUi(self)
def showAgeEntryForm(self):
self.child_win = AgeEntryForm(self)
self.child_win.show()
self.btnOpenAges.clicked.connect(showAgeEntryForm)
class AgeEntryForm(LandingPageBase, LandingPageUI):
def __init__(self, parent=None):
LandingPageBase.__init__(self, parent)
self.setupUi(self)
if __name__ == "__main__":
app=QtWidgets.QApplication.instance()
if not app:
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MyApp()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
Thanks in advance!
Here is the MainWindow and age_entry file in code form:

And the age_entry.ui

Two issues your indentation is wrong. Secondly your missing self. on showAgeEntryForm. Try this:
def __init__(self):
QtWidgets.QMainWindow.__init__(self)
Ui_MainWindow.__init__(self)
self.setupUi(self)
self.btnOpenAges.clicked.connect(self.showAgeEntryForm)
def showAgeEntryForm(self):
self.child_win = AgeEntryForm(self)
self.child_win.show()
