Qt Creator and other tools

Even if it was already done once:

Exit Qt Creator Delete the CMakeLists.txt.user file from your sources Nuke all build folders Start Qt Creator and reconfigure your project

@JoeCFD said in Qt Creator 16.0.0 is crashing when opening cpp files:

file a bug report specifically for Wayland.

When you look at the backtrace you see it's crashing inside QtGui, no wayland plugin anywhere... but we need debug symbols to see what happens.

@aha_1980 Thank you for your reply

The system clock is ok, The time stamps for all the files ninja complains are all older than the oldest file in my project tree. As I said in the original post, only with Qt versions 6.8.1 and newer I am having these issues.

can you show Kits->TextEditor tab?

So did you try it with astyle on the command line? Did it work there?

I created an issue: https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-32747

@seban ok, I have the same situation. To fix I have to manually edit the snap json file? It would not be restored after an update?

@jsulm

yes, the compiler is set in the Kit.

The only way to use my xcode_12_5_1.app is to change default system xcode by executing

xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode_12_5_1.app/Contents/Developer

@Soniya Please format your code properly. There is also no need to post commented out code if it has nothing to do with your issue.

Glad you found out and thanks for sharing !

Since you have it working now, please mark the thread as solved using the "Topic Tool" button or the three dotted menu beside the answer you deem correct so that other forum users may know a solution has been found :-)

Hi and welcome to devnet,

I would nuke the .XYZ.user (name will depend on project manager you are using) file in your project folder and reconfigure the project.

You can get CMake to be verbose with the build process by going to Project Mode > Build Steps > CMake arguments and add --verbose.

Then you can see the commands it tries to build.

Building with Qt 6.7, 6.8 or 6.9 on macOS with Xcode is something that works just fine.

I can think of only having to "activate" the Command Line Tools for Xcode. Please do try to:

Open Xcode Go to Preferences Cmd + , Go to Location At the Command Line Tools: combobox select something there. I have Xcode 16.2 (16C5032a).

Hi, same thing with QtCreator 16. I will create a bug report.
Thanks

So, with the beautifier we made it work now. In the end we had to remove

LineEnding: CRLF

From our .clang-format file, since this was breaking completely the formatting in Qt Creator. Running clang format from the command line worked fine though.

The ClangFormat extension does not apply the formatting on the full file, but only on changed lines, which we did not want. Also it made the settings dialog of Qt Creator extremely slow somehow.

I figured it out. Interestingly, cmake was not selected on the Qt installer by default. I had to install cmake through the Qt Maintenance Tool and then select the cmake version on the Qt6.8.3 default kit. I find it very strange that it was not installed by default. Tricky tricky...

@Yuyang I suggest you upgrade your QtCreator and MinGW versions, because you're using quite old versions.

@unknown_error
I do not use Windows/MSVC/CDB so cannot answer any deeper than this, but it is a "first chance exception". That is an MSVC debugger thing and should be ignored --- you are not interested in any first chance exceptions which occur. Try unchecking that First chance exceptions checkbox? Does the debugger actually stop at that breakpoint? In which case you will just have to continue from there. I do not know if you can permanently ignore it.

Thanks! after reinstallation it really works

@cristian-adam Thanks! That's really helped me
