    @JonB said in Error "file not found":

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe failure to find file for #include <QMainWindow> does not arise prior to first build, it indicates it is not looking for the header file in the right place?

    He doesn't see any header files at all. Building a project does not affect this in any way. Perhaps you are right, you need to change the path that the header files will be searched for, but I still can't find how to change this path and which one to change it to.

      Do you have a .pro file for your project? Have you put into that which Qt modules your project will be using?

        @JonB Could be. But with this code model errors it is always a good idea to build and see whether they disappear :-)

          Both @jsulm and I have asked you explicitly to show the context of your .pro file, else we won't be able to help. Is there any reason you have chosen not to do so and want people to guess?

            .pro file is missing. Additional modules are not connected. An example of the program is taken from the finished blank when creating a new project.

                Yes, Cmake is used, I just started learning and working with Qt, so I don't fully understand you. As I understand you mean file with name CMakeList.txt:

                      @Nik_prog04 So, as I assumed at the beginning the problem is the code model used to analyse code in QtCreator. What QtCreator version do you use? I think there were bugs related to code model.
