    @Sandon said in cmake tests and libs separate view in qt creator:

    this simple feature.

    Feel free to provide a patch when you are so confident that this is a simple task. QtCreator is open source.

      CMake already has the SOURCES property, you just need to use cmake generator expressions to use it.

      Take this example:

      cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
      
      project(WidgetsApp VERSION 0.1 LANGUAGES CXX)
      
      add_subdirectory(app)
      add_subdirectory(tests)
      
      add_custom_target(MyApp
          SOURCES $<LIST:TRANSFORM,$<LIST:FILTER,$<TARGET_PROPERTY:WidgetsApp,SOURCES>,EXCLUDE,.*_autogen/.*>,PREPEND,app/>
      )

        @cristian-adam this looks more like a hack to me... 🙂

          I just saw that I mixed SOURCES And FOLDERS properties - I meant FOLDERS, sorry for the confusion.

            @Christian-Ehrlicher thank you very much! This is quite new to me, so it will take time to understand and rewrite it in a way that works for what I need.. but it could be the "hack/trick" I was looking for.

            Edit: after reading it carefully, I am still not sure if this applies to my case. Going to read the documentation. Basically I will need a way to read specific CMakeFiles and associate them to a specific target.

              Regarding FOLDER, yes, I'll have to fix https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-28873 first.

              Currently Qt Creator is abusing FOLDER to make a target runnable. See https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-run-settings.html#cmake-run-targets

              Well, actually, I could keep the qtc_runnable special handling, and have original intent. One wouldn't be able to have both.

                @cristian-adam thank you for your reply.

                Do you think is it possible to achieve what I asked with current Qt creator capabilities?

                  Nope. I have a fix for https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTCREATORBUG-28873, you can take an artifact from https://github.com/cristianadam/qt-creator/actions/runs/9979288965 and try it out.

                  After the code review is done, you can have a Qt Creator 15 snapshot from https://download.qt.io/development_releases/qtcreator/ when they are available.

                    Alternatively you can fork Qt Creator on github, apply the patch from https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/576805 and push a release tag on github.

                    This will get you a Qt Creator 14 release with the patch in.

                      Qt Creator is open source, Qt Creator is written in C++, and you don't have to do much in order to get a build on GitHub.
