No documents matching "ui_form.h" could be found

[BvdPutten]

When testing Qt Creator, for the first time, I receive No documents matching "ui_form.h" could be found.
Rebuilding the project might help. when adding a button to a frame and select GoTo Slot.
How can I resolve this?

Did you build your project like the error message suggests? ui_form.h is generated when the project is built.

I am using Qt for Python development. Started my first test as said. Build function from the tollbar is grayed out. Did I misunderstand your question?

Your question is posed in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/66369932/error-in-qtcreator-4-14-1-python-no-documents-matching-ui-form-h-could-be-f. You may not like the "answer" :(

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-9683

Can you state your version of Creator, and maybe try another version?

I am using Qt Creator 4.15.2.
This is the first test with Qt. If this 'hello world' test is even not working, I wonder if I should use Qt in the first place..

No documents matching "ui_form.h" could be found.
Rebuilding the project might help.

Thank you

I think you are using Designer's Go to slot... to attach slots to signals, as shown in the stackoverflow post I linked? In which case, don't! Try removing any attempts you have made to use that feature and do it in Python code only.

Hi JonB, thank you for your answer, Yes i am using the menu Go To slot... as shown in the stack overflow.

What do you mean with : "Try removing any attempts you have made to use that feature and do it in Python code only"

i just create a simple and empty project in Qt Creator, selecting : Qt for Python - Window (UI file)

and then :

double click on form.ui , and then i pasted a button on the main form, then right mouse click by selecting Go To Slot ...

choosing an event just clicked().....

but i received the messagebox :

No documents matching "ui_form.h" could be found.
Rebuilding the project might help.

and there is no possibility to Build the Project since the menu is disabled, see the pictures

Thank you very much for your answer , i am just a beginner on Qt and Python

Regards Carlo

I said to you: do not use Go to slot, that's what is (presumably) causing the error. Write your connect()s in code, don't use the UI to do them. Don't know how to be any clearer than that.

one of the "benefits" of a scripting language, you can't build it, you can only run it!

double click on form.ui , and then i pasted a button on the main form, then right mouse click by selecting Go To Slot ...

like stated multiple times, don't use that option, thats only available for c++ version of Qt

youse the Python specific connect calls
