Debugging Issues in Plug in Development

Cannot enter plugin program breakpoints when debugging with Qt Ctrator plugin development
When encountering clash, it will directly jump to the address without jumping to the error program

Hi hy1011,

have you tried if a minimal "hello world" plugin works? https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator-extending/first-plugin.html gives some step-by-step advices.

One important thing is, you need the exact same Qt version, Compiler and Architecture (32/64 bit) that QtCreator was compiled with when developing plugins for Creator. When is doubt, then you can Qt Creator from source so it will perfectly match your plugin.

Regarding your second question: That is an indication that no source code was found for the crash location. That most likely means the crash occurred outside your plugins code.

@aha_1980 The plugin is running without any issues, it just won't enter breakpoints during debugging

@hy1011 How do you debug your plugin? Do you run a self compiled Qt Creator inside the debugger? Or what do you do?
