I try to make the progress bar update real-time with pyqt5, however, the documentation online seems very limited for now. I read online that I can use thread and signal to do that. However, the syntax seems changed in pyqt5. Can any experts here help?

It is not recommended to modify the design file, it is appropriate to create another file to join the logic with the design. Therefore, I will assume that the design file is called ui_mainwindow.py( You must delete all changes)

Your code is a little messy so I take the liberty to improve it, in this case I will not use QThread, but QThreadPool with a QRunnable, and to send the information I will use the QMetaObject:
with QThreadPool and QRunnable
sendInvoice.py
from PyQt5 import QtCore
import requests
import json
class InvoiceRunnable(QtCore.QRunnable):
def __init__(self, progressbar):
QtCore.QRunnable.__init__(self)
self.progressbar = progressbar
def run(self):
startInvNum = 100
endInvNum = 102
Username = 'test'
Password = 'test'
AccountNum = 'test'
environmentURL = 'http://www.test.com/api?INV' ##remove this temporary
headerData = {
'Authorization': 'auth_email={}, auth_signature={}, auth_account={}'.format(Username, Password, AccountNum),
'content-type': 'application/json',
}
totalRequest = endInvNum - startInvNum + 1
for n, i in enumerate(range(startInvNum, endInvNum+1)):
result = requests.get(environmentURL + str(i), headers=headerData)
print (result.text)
jsonOutput = json.loads(result.text)
print(json.dumps(jsonOutput, sort_keys=True, indent=4))
print(n+1, totalRequest)
currentPercentage = (n+1)*100/totalRequest
QtCore.QMetaObject.invokeMethod(self.progressbar, "setValue",
QtCore.Qt.QueuedConnection,
QtCore.Q_ARG(int, currentPercentage))
we will join both parts in the main.py where the widget will be created and make the connection:
main.py
from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from ui_mainwindow import Ui_MainWindow
from sendInvoice import InvoiceRunnable
class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
QtWidgets.QMainWindow.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)
self.setupUi(self)
self.progressBar.setRange(0, 100)
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.sendInvoice)
def sendInvoice(self):
runnable = InvoiceRunnable(self.progressBar)
QtCore.QThreadPool.globalInstance().start(runnable)
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
w = MainWindow()
w.show()
sys.exit(app.exec_())
with QThread
sendInvoice.py
from PyQt5 import QtCore
import requests
import json
class InvoiceThread(QtCore.QThread):
percentageChanged = QtCore.pyqtSignal(int)
def run(self):
startInvNum = 100
endInvNum = 102
Username = 'test'
Password = 'test'
AccountNum = 'test'
environmentURL = 'http://www.test.com/api?INV' ##remove this temporary
headerData = {
'Authorization': 'auth_email={}, auth_signature={}, auth_account={}'.format(Username, Password, AccountNum),
'content-type': 'application/json',
}
totalRequest = endInvNum - startInvNum + 1
for n, i in enumerate(range(startInvNum, endInvNum+1)):
result = requests.get(environmentURL + str(i), headers=headerData)
print (result.text)
jsonOutput = json.loads(result.text)
print(json.dumps(jsonOutput, sort_keys=True, indent=4))
print(n+1, totalRequest)
currentPercentage = (n+1)*100/totalRequest
self.percentageChanged.emit(currentPercentage)
main.py

from ui_mainwindow import Ui_MainWindow

class MainWindow(QtWidgets.QMainWindow, Ui_MainWindow):

self.setupUi(self)
self.progressBar.setRange(0, 100)
self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.sendInvoice)
def sendInvoice(self):
thread = InvoiceThread(self)
thread.percentageChanged.connect(self.progressBar.setValue)
thread.start()
