Copy dir for build dir

? Offline

@void Main::copyPath(QString src, QString dst)
{
QDir dir(src);
if (! dir.exists())
return;
foreach (QString d, dir.entryList(QDir::Dirs | QDir::NoDotAndDotDot)) {
QString dst_path = dst + QDir::separator() + d;
dir.mkpath(dst_path);
copyPath(src+ QDir::separator() + d, dst_path);
}

foreach (QString f, dir.entryList(QDir::Files)) {
    QFile::copy(src + QDir::separator() + f, dst + QDir::separator() + f);
}

}@
src is directory starting
dst is directory arrival

@ Salvatello the question is not about doing it from an application, it's about doing in from a post-build step

No it does not. And I did not create the tests with QtCreator. Below is the content of tests_pro.

In pure makefile, I do this way:

@mkdir -p ui
cp -i uitests/*.ui ui/@

simple

I do not know how to do the same thing with qmake script.

[quote author="SGaist" date="1413316037"]If you generated the test with Qt Creator you should have a line like
@DEFINES += SRCDIR=\\"$$PWD/\\"@

So you can use SRCDIR to access the files in your sources from your test[/quote]

Exotic_Devel

Ok, basing myself by the "solution":http://dragly.org/2013/11/05/copying-data-files-to-the-build-directory-when-working-with-qmake/, I mounted the script of copies that I needed.

@createdir.commands = $(MKDIR) $$OUT_PWD/uitests
copyfiles.commands = $(COPY) $$PWD/$$OTHER_FILES $$OUT_PWD/uitests
first.depends = $(first) createdir copyfiles
export(first.depends)
export(createdir.commands)
export(copyfiles.commands)
QMAKE_EXTRA_TARGETS += first createdir copyfiles
@

However, the solution does not explain a few things:

'depends' and 'commands' are required? Are they for?

SGaist

IIRC, something like

@
QMAKE_POST_LINK += $$quote($(COPY_DIR) $$PWD/uitests PATH_TO_BUILDIR/ui)
@

should do the job

Exotic_Devel

Perfect SGaist! More compact

[quote author="SGaist" date="1413498710"]IIRC, something like

@
QMAKE_POST_LINK += $$quote($(COPY_DIR) $$PWD/uitests PATH_TO_BUILDIR/ui)
@

should do the job[/quote]

SGaist

And should also be cross-platform :)

Exotic_Devel

My dear fellow, sorry to raise this topic, but how do I copy two different folders?
I tried this:

@QMAKE_POST_LINK += $$quote($(COPY_DIR) $$PWD/uis $$OUT_PWD/../tests/uis)
$$quote($(COPY_DIR) $$PWD/translations $$OUT_PWD/../tests/translations)@

unsuccessfully

SGaist

You need to add $$escape_expand(\n\t) after each line except the last one

Exotic_Devel

Thanks boy!
