Hi Suhas,

QQuickFolderListModel lives in labs, and has no public C++ API. And I only see a `qt_internal_add_qml_module(LabsFolderListModel`, so there’s probably no binary artefact to link against.

So, using string-based connections, or writing a pure QML test, is probably the way to go.

Fee free to share a link to your attempt on gerrit.
