How to turn on warnings and errors messages detection in real time?

[Stahp_]

For the first time after using Qt for two years Ive decited to try pressing the red 'X' button on the warning after hoovering over it and Ive got some message about clang and unfortunatly all warnings and errors stopped appearing in real time. I tried to check all the boxes in plugins for C++ and Build System but it didnt work. Can somone help me fast?

@Stahp_ Did you try to restart QtCreator?

@Stahp_

my guess is, that line annotations have been unchecked

You should check that!

@Stahp_ In addition to @J-Hilk, make sure the Clang plugin is activated in Help > About Plugins.

@aha_1980 said in How to turn on warnings and errors messages detection in real time?:

Help > About Plugins

that is actually misleading. On MacOS, it is not under help. For whatever reason.

@J.Hilk for the other OS, Help is a bad place too, IMHO. But where is it on mac?

@J-Hilk It's put there to follow Apple's design guidelines. It's similar to the "Preferences..." entry. Actions are organised on macOS based on their role
