Creator 2.2 Issue
-
I just upgraded to the 2.2 beta from 2.0.1. I had tried to use
2.1, but as I posted here previously, it had a weird bug on my Windows 7
machine where it wouldn't open many of my projects.When 2.2 installed and opened my projects I thought I was free - until it refused to run my program,
instead producing: "Process Starting... The parameter is incorrect".
There were no build issues. Just that single completely unhelpful message when trying to run the app.I accidentally stumbled on the "general messages" drop down (which I had never actually known was there)
and saw a message "unclosed string in .pro file line xxx". Apparently, deleting an errant quote
fixed the issue and after rebuilding the app started.The floating quote in the line:
LIBS += $${SomeFolder}/foo/project"
never broke 2.0.1 and didn't produce a general message (I checked on a computer that hadn't been upgraded).Anyway, I guess the point is, this should definitely be upgraded to an error message when building!
If I wasn't lucky enough to stumble on the "general messages" tab I would have just assumed it
was a bug in the beta version. These sorts of major differences from previous versions should be explicit.
I think 2.2 has the correct behavior (by being strict), but it should follow that up with proper error messages. -
Why don't you just file a "bug report":http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/ ?
