Error while parsing file Test.pro. Giving up
-
I'm trying to dip my toes into Qt WebAssembly in Windows 10, so I performed the necessary setup as per the Qt for WebAssembly instructions. With that I now have the following installed:
- Qt: 6.5.2
- Qt Creator: 11.0
- emsdk: 3.1.25
In Qt Creator Preferences > Devices > WebAssembly I see the following:
Adding directories to PATH: C:\dev\emsdk-3.1.44\node\16.20.0_64bit\bin C:\dev\emsdk-3.1.44\upstream\emscripten C:\dev\emsdk-3.1.44 C:\dev\emsdk-3.1.44\python\3.9.2-nuget_64bit Setting environment variables: EMSDK=C:/dev/emsdk-3.1.44 EMSDK_NODE=C:\dev\emsdk-3.1.44\node\16.20.0_64bit\bin\node.exe EMSDK_PYTHON=C:\dev\emsdk-3.1.44\python\3.9.2-nuget_64bit\python.exe JAVA_HOME=C:\dev\emsdk-3.1.44\java\8.152_64bit
which looks like it should be OK from what I can see (note: I downloaded the latest emsdk release from GitHub and used it to install 3.1.25), and it is showing the activated version as 3.1.25.
Going into Preferences > Kits > Kits I can see the C and C++ compiler for
WebAssembly Qt 6.5.2 (multi-threaded)
isEmscripten Compiler 3.1.25 for C/C++
which also looks to be correct based on everything I've managed to surmise.At this point I create a new
Qt Widgets Application
project called Test and tell it to use theDesktop Qt 6.5.2 MinGW 64-bit
andWebAssembly Qt 6.5.2 (multi-threaded)
kits. Without making changes to what is generated by Qt Creator I can launch the project as a Desktop application and see the empty window appear on screen. However when I switch to WebAssembly I am greeted by an error<path>\Test\Test.pro:-1: error: Error while parsing file <path>\Test\Test.pro. Giving up.
The project only lists the Test.pro file and nothing else (when in desktop I can see all h, cpp, and ui files). If I try to compile the project all I get is the following error:
Error while building/deploying project Test (kit: WebAssembly Qt 6.5.2 (multi-threaded)) When executing step "Make"
I haven't touched any of the generated files (h, cpp, ui, pro), and am very much as a loss as to what's going on. My Test.pro is as follows:
