Using async QLocalServer with QEventLoop - qt

Question

I want to run a QLocalServer in an application using asynchronous signals/slots which does not use QCoreApplication. As far as I understand this should work using a QEventLoop:
void MyThread::startSocketServer()
{
m_server = new QLocalServer();
m_server->listen("ExamplePipe");
/*
// This works:
m_server->waitForNewConnection(-1);
auto socket = m_server->nextPendingConnection();
socket->write("Test"); */
// This signal is never triggered
connect(m_server, &QLocalServer::newConnection, this, [this]()
{
auto socket = m_server->nextPendingConnection();
connect(socket, &QLocalSocket::readyRead, this, [this, socket]()
{
//socket->readAll();
//usleep(1000);
//socket->write("Test");
});
});
}
void MyThread::run()
{
QEventLoop eventLoop;
startSocketServer();
eventLoop.exec();
}
The synchronous version works as expected. Is there a way to use the asynchronous way with QLocalServer?
EDIT: Here is a version with the basics:
void MyThread::run()
{
QEventLoop eventLoop;
m_server = new QLocalServer();
m_server->listen("ExamplePipe");
connect(m_server, &QLocalServer::newConnection, &eventLoop, []()
{
// not triggered
});
eventLoop.exec();
}

I got it working:
void MyThread::run()
{
int argc = 0;
char *argv[] = {NULL};
m_qtApplication = new QCoreApplication(argc, argv);
m_server = new QLocalServer();
m_server->listen("ExamplePipe");
connect(m_server, &QLocalServer::newConnection, m_qtApplication, []()
{
// works
});
m_qtApplication->exec();
}
