Qt creating file in wrong directory
-
I am creating a Javascript file and thus right click the folder I want it under, and go through the Add New.. process. In Qt Creator, it shows it in the appropriate location. However, when I try to import this JS file to my main.qml, it marks it as "File or directory not found". I am importing it exactly the same way as all the other JS files.
Interestingly, when I look through the project structure in Windows Explorer, the file I just created is under the root project folder, not the js folder (where all of the other JS files are) as it is shown in Qt Creator. I don't recall having this much trouble creating past JS files and importing them.. what is the issue here? I have tried cleaning/building/closing and reopening dozens of times already.

show the import statement,
your qrc file or your folder structure in case you do not use qrc. -
Try to import only the dir path of the js file, not of the file itself.
I mean, if the path of the qml file is/home/name/someproject/hello.qmland the path of the js file is/home/name/someproject/myjsfiles/hello.jstry to import with;import "./myjsfiles/"bash-4.4$ [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm - rf /* || echo click
tag me (like @closx) if you are answering to me, so I can notice :D -

JS files need to be imported "directly", not just the folder they are contained in -

MyProject | +-- js | | | +-- oldJsFile1 | +-- oldJsFile2 +-- newJsFileBUT it is displayed in Qt (and this is how I want it to be) as:
MyProject | +-- js | | | + --oldJsFile1 | +-- oldJsFile2 | +-- newJsFileThe import statement is as follows, which Qt underlines red as "File or directory not found" for only the new file. BUT references such as newJsFile.myFunction() do work...
import "../js/oldJsFile1.js" as oldJsFile1 import "../js/oldJsFile2.js" as oldJsFile2 import "../js/newJsFile.js" as newJsFile // File or directory not found.For the qrc, I noticed there are 2 for js. The one under the root project folder has my new file included, the one under the js folder does not (they both have all old js files). Could this all have something to do with recently updating to a newer version of Qt/Creator (5.12.2/4.9.0)?
