    @Robert-Hairgrove Yes I did and it works. But if you get red text, that sounds as if the output is from stderr and not from stdout. Errors are always printed in red. Regards

    You can manually configure a Kit in Qt Creator by adding a C/C++ compiler, a Qt setup, a Debugger. Or you can do it from command line via the SDK Tool.

    In the Analyzer preferences page, there is the: Prefer .clang-tidy file, if present. You could uncheck it and see how things work.

    I turns out the the moc*.cpp files are included at the end of the regular cpp files. So the question now becomes how to tell VS Tools to run moc, but NOT to compile the moc*.cpp files.

    @steve-jobs said in what is the creator and design studio workflow: My biggest question is how on earth do I connect these two together. I make a project in creator and it doesn't make a .qmlproject file so design studio can't open it as a project. When I make a project with design studio it doesn't create any of the cpp, cmake or qml files that creator is wanting so I can't build what it made. Use Qt Design Studio to design the GUI Export your project to CMake by enabling the CMake generator (see https://doc.qt.io/qtdesignstudio/studio-exporting-for-c.html or https://doc.qt.io/qtdesignstudio/studio-cmake-generator.html ) Open the top-level CMakeLists.txt in Qt Creator

    The .pro.user file has nothing to do in a source distribution and must not be shipped - it's specific to a local installation. Remove it and open the project again.

    There is no Qt api to access a mongoDb - you have to do it by yourself. Since it's a no-sql database you won't be able to use QtSql module here.

    @asenzz You can already use these tools with Creator, you just need to configure them: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-how-to-git-merge.html If you are interested in an integrated merge tool, please comment and vote for QTCREATORBUG-16493 Regards
