    Hi
    You should chekc the kits if they show errors
    http://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-targets.html

    I think it might be something like
    https://geonet.esri.com/thread/165647

    Also please list the version in use
    XCode. Qt version and the MacOS version. (macOS sierra)
    That will help when the mac programmers come online.

      Dont worry. Most likely not something very bad.
      I think its not parsing the .pro file. Not sure if it uses qmake for that too but
      i assume. So it looks like its not re-parsing the file and hence nothing happens.

      Its strange however, there is no build errors and it sounds like the kits are all green too.

      When you compile, in the compiler output, does it call the tools and look overall happy?

          If you make error in
          main.c
          does it catch it ?

          like
          int dummy <--- should complain about missing ;

              So it really is alive. ( also hinted by all kits looking ok)

              But it completely ignore any new file added it seems.

              If you go to build menu and choose qmake
              and then look in compiler output.

              for me it looks like
              13:30:02: Starting: "C:\Qt\5.7\msvc2015\bin\qmake.exe" M:\dropbox_qtprojects\untitled28\untitled28.pro -spec win32-msvc2015 "CONFIG+=debug" "CONFIG+=qml_debug"
              13:30:03: The process "C:\Qt\5.7\msvc2015\bin\qmake.exe" exited normally.

              How does it look for you ?

                    Hi
                    It seems to me it it does run the moc tools on it
                    (moc_test_sourcefile) so its aware of it.

                    So it is looking more and more as a bug in QCreator on macOS.

                    Give it a day or two. I will ask my favorite macOS person if he has heard of this.

                        Np.
                        Well all can add to the Qt project. Im not sure the path for new languages for Creator but
                        just make post here (in tools) and ask about how to submit then we will figure it out. :)
                        If you download source for Creator , the files are in
                        qt-creator\share\qtcreator\translations
                        You will need to use the Qt trans tools.

                                well I would wait
                                until a user that have actually used a mac for more
                                than 3 mins to gives some input. :) ( as in dont take my word for it :)

                                But does seem strange to me. Bug-ish.

                                  Hi,

                                  Which version of macOS are you using ?

                                  I just tested on 10.12.3 and it's working correctly.

                                    Hi, thank you for helping
                                    QtCreator 4.2.1
                                    Qt 5.8.0
                                    revision 7071b61e02
                                    sierra 10.12.3
                                    xcode 8.1

                                    So its sierra 10.12.3 , so 100% the same it seems.

                                        You didn't answer my question about your current setup.

                                        Note that I can't reproduce the problem you are having on my system.

                                        As a side question, is your computer user account name plain ASCII or do you have UTF-8 characters in it ? I'm asking because you would like to submit Korean translation (which is very nice by the way, thank you) so I'm wondering whether the user name might trigger something in your case.
