QtCreator 3.0.0 not showing files from included *.PRI files

gkavrecic

I have actually checked out from a repository, where by default are not stored specific files like *.pro.user and build folders at all

OK good, I secretly hoped you did that :) I really don't know why you are facing this problem, it should work.

See if you can reproduce it also with Qt 5.2.1 (newest snapshot available "here":http://download.qt-project.org/snapshots/qt/5.2/5.2.1/2014-02-02_42/).

Will give it a try later on.
Some work still waits to be finished.

I've solved the situation.
But in a way that I don't like.

See below the changed *.PRI file
@INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD

HEADERS += $$PWD/printer_basic.h
SOURCES += $$PWD/printer_basic.cpp@

Is this a bug or new approach?

Sierdzio, thanks for the hint, but it did not helped.

Tried the latest QtCreator 3.0.1, but the behavior persists.
As of the documentation the header/source files are searched relatively to the *.PRI's folder. Isn't it?

Is only me having this issue?

Yes, that is correct.

Seems so. If you want to check on another project, feel free to download my Spdr: "link":https://github.com/sierdzio/spdr. I use the same technique you do ("link":https://github.com/sierdzio/spdr/blob/master/libraryIncludes.pri), so it might help us verify what is wrong. If you decide to try it, please don't use shadow building option from Qt Creator.

You used:
@INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/libspdr
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD/libspdr@

That works for me. But I consider it a workaround. I would like to keep the 'old' way:
@INCLUDEPATH += libspdr
DEPENDPATH += libspdr@

Which is without the $$PWD in front. I consider it more readable and more logical.

This is also why I've asked if this is a new approach in 5.2.

Same issue here.

In my .pri file if I write:
@
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD
HEADERS += foo.h
SOURCES += foo.cpp
@
I don't see the files foo.h and foo.cpp in the Project TreeView.

Instead, with:
@
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD
DEPENDPATH += $$PWD
HEADERS += $$PWD/foo.h
SOURCES += $$PWD/foo.cpp
@
everything works as expected...

btw, in both cases Qt Creator is able to compile.

I'm using:
Ubuntu Desktop 14.04 - 64bit
Qt Creator 3.0.1 (Based on Qt 5.2.1 (GCC 4.8.2, 64 bit))
Qt 4.8.3

Both, Qt and Qt Creator, coming from the Ubuntu repository.

Bump!

Same problem here!

Project structure:
project.pro (main pro file)
tools.pri (in tools subfolder)
gui.pri (in gui subfolder)

project.pro ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/9279754/ )
tools.pri ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/9279756/ )
gui.pri ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/9279762/ )

All the files specified inside the .pri files are inside the respective folders. Only with the $$PWD prefix the files are shown inside QtCreator (so in the above pasted files, only the gui/about.h file is shown, screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/V6fnGwL.png ).

An interesting note: The invisible files can be accessed using the Ctrl+Click technique when viewing the .pri file from inside the QtCreator, so something is fishy.
