Qt QJsonModel isn't working at end of network request - c++

Question

So, after I make my QJsonModel, load the data, and set the treeView model, it will load the data normally into the treeView. Although, when I do this after a network request has been finished (serviceRequestFinished(QNetworkReply* reply)), it just doesn't woek. I can qDebug the Json data that is passed, but when it comes down to the Json loading and the model setting. It just fails to finish. Also, for some reason it won't set the Json from the network request, but if I just set it to set the json from a separate button, the json get added successfully. So that means that the Json is formatted correctly. The QJsonModel & QJsonItem are external classes not provided with Qt, that located here.
Here is my code:

QJsonModel only works if the the JSON's root element is an object (see the bug report on github.com). I guess your JSON's root is an array.
