Signals not being detected for QTabWidget - c++

Question

My implementation of QTabWidget is not detecting its tabCloseRequested() and currentChanged() signals.
TileSheetManager::TileSheetManager(QWidget *parent)
: QTabWidget(parent)
{
int w = WIDTH;
int h = HEIGHT;
this->setMinimumSize(w, h);
this->setMaximumSize(w, h);
setTabsClosable(true);
setTabShape(QTabWidget::Rounded);
connect(this, SIGNAL(tabCloseRequested(int index)), this, SLOT(closeTileWidget(int index)));
connect(this, SIGNAL(currentChanged(int index)), this, SLOT(tabChanged(int index)));
}
qDebug() was not working for me, so I'm using a QMessageBox for this.
void TileSheetManager::closeTileWidget(int index)
{
QMessageBox msgBox;
msgBox.setText("Tab " + QString::number(index) + " removed!");
msgBox.exec();
TileWidget *t = (TileWidget *) widget(index) ;
t->deleteLater();
removeTab(index);
}
void TileSheetManager::tabChanged(int index)
{
QMessageBox msgBox;
msgBox.setText("Tab was Changed!");
msgBox.exec();
TileWidget *t;
for(int i = 0; i < count(); i++)
{
t = (TileWidget *) widget(i) ;
t->resetSetBrush();
}
}
Tabs aren't getting closed, selected brushes are not being reset, and I get no messages, so I'm concluding the signals aren't being picked up. Which is weird, because I have used similar code for a previous project, in which case it worked.

Don't use variable names in the connect function :
Note that the signal and slots parameters must not contain
any variable names, only the type.
The connection should be
connect(this, SIGNAL(tabCloseRequested(int)), this, SLOT(closeTileWidget(int)));
connect(this, SIGNAL(currentChanged(int)), this, SLOT(tabChanged(int)));
