Hi
Did you try to delete the build directory ?
Those errors sometimes comes from cached qmake files.

Yes, I delete build directory and *.user file.

@AndrzejB
Ok , then its a bit odd then.
Check .pro file you do have included the codeeditor.h
like
HEADERS += codeeditor.h

I return to correct version on git and then only moved CodeEditorSidebar to own file, and have erorrs:
D:\wazne\github_my\qteditor_tmp\build-qedytor-Desktop_Qt_5_12_0_MinGW_64_bit-Debug\debug\moc_codeeditorsidebar.cpp:58: error: multiple definition of `CodeEditorSidebar::qt_static_metacall(QObject*, QMetaObject::Call, int, void**)'

D:\wazne\github_my\qteditor_tmp\build-qedytor-Desktop_Qt_5_12_0_MinGW_64_bit-Debug\debug\moc_codeeditorsidebar.cpp:76: error: multiple definition of `CodeEditorSidebar::metaObject() const'

....
BUT after deleting build direcotory still error: :-1: błąd: No rule to make target 'debug/codeeditor.moc', needed by 'debug/codeeditor.o'. Stop.

Previous was a bit odd: both class declaration and methods definitions was in *.cpp file. If I move class declaration to *.h is error

Both classes are mutual dependend.

Hi,

Remove #include "codeeditor.moc" from codeditor.cpp. You don't need it since you have now each class in their own header file.

Thanks, is OK now.
