QtCreator, project tree sub-folders missing
-
I am posting this because I've spent several hours looking for a solution and want to help others to fix this issue without wasting time.
I am using QtCreator for a long time with a quite complex project including several libraries that are all built from source. The libraries contain sub-folders for modules and are sometimes event nested deeper.
I was used to see the following layout:
- library
- Header Files
- moduleA
- fileA.hpp
- fileB.hpp
- moduleB
- fileC.hpp
- fileD.hpp
- moduleA
- Header Files
But after re-installing my computer I ended up with the following "flat" structure - which was quite annoying. All structure was gone. All headers and sources of a target show up in one folder:
- library
- Header Files
- fileA.hpp
- fileB.hpp
- fileC.hpp
- fileD.hpp
- Header Files
I went through the complete preferences 5 times without finding any option. I tried all kinds of stuff, including setting the USE_FOLDERS and source_group in CMake and many others. Nothing changed the file structure back. Simplify Tree made things even worse.
The solution is: Upgrade QtCreator from 4.11.0 -> 4.11.1 and everything works as expected.

Mark as solved please, instead of changing the title of your post :)

Hi @AndreasLoew,
yeah, that was probably due to QTCREATORBUG-23372.
Also, I've marked as SOLVED for you, as @Pl45m4 suggested :)
