MacOS Terminal doesnt show in-/output when debugging

slepp

Hi! Thank you very much for your reply!

First things first, here is the code i was using (even if I think the code is not the problem as terminal shows in-/output if i run the programm):

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main(void)
{
    //define variables
    int i = 0;
    int length, volume, surface, square;

    //user input
    cout << "Geben Sie eine ganze positive Zahl ein!" <<endl;
    cin >> i;

    //calculation
    length = i;
    square = length*length;
    surface = 6 * square;
    volume = square * length;

    //output
    cout << "Oberflaeche:" << surface <<endl;
    cout << "Volumen:" << volume <<endl;

    return 0;
}

As my instructor told me, I have selected "Run in Terminal" in the project settings / run.
Therefore my terminal opens as soon as i click on "start debugging" but nothing happens in there.
I hope that answers your question? Do you have any tips how i can solve this?

You misunderstood my question: what happens if you start Terminal manually and do the debugging directly from there ?

I have never tried it and to be honest i dont know how this works as i justed started a week ago.
Is there any manual / guidance i can follow and try?

SGaist

Apple has you covered here.

Geben Sie eine ganze positive Zahl ein!
10
Oberflaeche:600
Volumen:1000

It seems that its working. I was able launch/debug the program.

Looks like it's a Qt Creator issue.

Do you have the same if you debug a default Qt application ?

slepp

Yes, same problem :-(

Hi,
On macOS syslog() must be use:

#include <syslog.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    syslog(LOG_ERR,"%s\n","hello");
    return a.exec();
}

That's not a Qt default application. What I meant a default Qt widget application.

SGaist

@mpergand this is unrelated to the problem at hand. It's the debugging that fails from Qt Creator.

Oh sorry, now I tried to create a QT widget application, according to this guideline: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-writing-program.html

When I debug with the terminal, nothing happens in there as well.

Which version of Xcode did you install ?

slepp

I've installed Version12.4 (12D4e)

SGaist

Looks like it might a bug.

Can you test the current beta version of Qt Creator ?

slepp

I just tried the same thing under version Qt Creator 4.15.0-rc1 (4.14.84), still the same problem as with Qt Creator 4.14.2 :-(

Then you should check the bug report system to see if there's something related there.
