ninja subcommand failed: How to get more info?

Asperamanca

I am building the qmllint target of a QML module, and get the error

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

A long time before that, I get

FAILED: CMakeFiles/c2gped_tool_qml_qmlmodule_qmllint

...which refers to the qmllint target name. But it doesn't explain what failed.

How can I find out more? E.g. make qmllint output verbose?

You can try setting CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE to true or on but I don't know if it will help.

It looks like qmllint warnings stop the build. Any idea how to configure that via cmake?

@Asperamanca
Don't know if this helps: in a normal make/makefile preceding a command with - (hyphen/minus) tells it to ignore exit code and treat as successful. If, say, qmllint is a command then

target:
    -qmllint ...

would ignore a non-zero exit code. Don't know if that helps for cmake or ninja?

I have not tried this myself, but the documentation mentions a way to disable qmllint warnings, see: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtquick-tool-qmllint.html#settings

Yes, I've seen that page, but the .ini file seems to be ignored and I don't know how to pass these settings through cmake
