qml caching problem

Mark81

I'm facing for the first time a weird problem. I added to my project a new resource file, called qml. Here how my pro file looks like:

QT += core gui widgets sql serialbus svg network printsupport qml quickwidgets quick
TARGET = MyProject
TEMPLATE = app
DESTDIR = bin
CONFIG += c++11
DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

SOURCES += \
        main.cpp \
        mainwindow.cpp \
        ...

HEADERS += \
        mainwindow.h \
        ...

FORMS += \
        mainwindow.ui \
        ...

TRANSLATIONS = languages/translation_en.ts  languages/translation_it.ts

RESOURCES += \
    qdarkstyle/style.qrc \
    resources.qrc \
    qml.qrc

when I'm in debug mode, I see all the three resource files with all their contents. But when I switch to the release mode the qml.qrc file disappear, a new qml_qmlcache.qrc is shown. This contains a different file that is not available (?) and cannot be removed. I tried to clean, run qmake and rebuild but the behavior doesn't change.

What can be trigger such a behavior? How to fix it?

Hi,

What if you change that .qrc file name to something else ?

In debug mode, renamed to foo.qrc (it contains about 25 files).
Switched to release, it was replaced by foo_qmlcache.qrc with only 1 file.

Might be the QtQuick compiler kicking in.

mmm, I didn't add qtquickcompiler to CONFIG . Would you please explain a bit more what should I do to avoid that?

Check the content of the CONFIG variable and try CONFIG -= qtquickcompiler

Ok, I didn't understand from the docs that the option is enabled by default!
After disabling it, it created a new qml_qmlcache.qrc file (without override the original) and it seems to work in both debug and release mode.
