Problem transfering app to Raspberry with Qt Creator

mz-dev

Hello.
I am having a problem deploying app to Raspberry Pi 4 using Qt Creator 12.0.1. I've followed the steps outlined in the following link to configure Qt Creator: https://github.com/MuyePan/CrossCompileQtForRpi

However, on the final step, when I press "Run," I get the following message in the compile output:

15:12:16: Cannot deploy: rsync is only supported for transfers between different devices.
Error while building/deploying project pi-app (kit: PI)
When executing step "Deploy files"

I tried transferring the app using rsync in the terminal, and it worked with no issues. Could someone point me in the right direction on what I should check to resolve this error?

Looks like Creator doesn't know the PI's IP address.
Have you specified it in the device settings, like here?

The link you provided doesn't open. However, I have specified the IP address.

I have set the IP address under "Preferences -> Devices."

The test passes successfully.

Here is the kit configuration.

Here are the project run settings. At the bottom is the mentioned error.

How do the deploy steps look like?
The screenshots only show the run configuration.

Sorry, do you mean this?

You have to actually add a deploy step. It looks like that hasn't been done.
See here.

I managed to get it working. I utilized the "Override deployment data from build system" option and modified the final step to "Upload files via SFTP" as shown in the image below.

Now, I have a couple of questions:

What configurations are required to enable the build system to automatically detect the source and target directories?
Is there any documentation available that provides a description of how the deploy files step is utilized? I haven't been able to locate it.
