QTCreator & Clang-Tidy : configuration file and command line

[GoblE]

Hi,

I use Clang-Tidy with QtCreator, I'm very happy with it, integration into QTCreator is very nice :)
Today I use pre-selected checks but I want to change this point and I would like to have all checks to do from a file.
I saw in the configuration window that we can use ".clang-tidy config file", but I can't find more information about it. In the documentation :

"In the Clang-Tidy tab, select Select Checks to select the checks to perform, Use .clang-tidy Config File to read them from a Clang-Tidy configuration file, or Disable to disable them."

How can I provide file path to my QT project ? with a variable ? with qmake configuration ?

An other point : I would like to launch the clang-tidy test outside QTCreator (I have script to build my apps), is there a simple method to do that ? (I found a script from an other member of this forum, but he doesn't use clang and environment provided with QTCreator)

Thanks for your help.

Hi @GoblE,

AFAIK that file has to be put in the root folder of your project.

Ok, You're right, in fact I did a mistake while I tested it. Thanks.

EDIT : I found documentation with more information about it :

--config=<string>              -
                                   Specifies a configuration in YAML/JSON format:
                                     -config="{Checks: '*',
                                               CheckOptions: [{key: x,
                                                               value: y}]}"
                                   When the value is empty, clang-tidy will
                                   attempt to find a file named .clang-tidy for
                                   each source file in its parent directories.

Unfortunately we can't be able to choose path of this file.

Last point, have you an idea about this :
