[SOLVED] Terminal Won't Stay Open in Console Project

Blakeasd

Hello!

I recently began developing in Qt, but I am having an issue with console projects. When I run my program (Console Program), terminal opens and then immediately closes so I cannot see the output.

Here is the code that I am using:

@
#include <QtCore/QCoreApplication>
#include <QDebug>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
QCoreApplication a(argc, argv);

qDebug() << "In the stream";


return a.exec&#40;&#41;;

}
@

I looked in my project's .pro file and it seems to be setup correctly (it is configured to use the console with CONFIG += console). I am not sure why the terminal window won't stay open. I have tried adding @system("PAUSE")@

This does not work however. I am using Ubuntu and the default Qt Creator settings. Could someone tell me how to keep the console/terminal open so I can see the @qdebug@ output.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to DevNet,

How do you start your program ?

Hello.

To start the program I press the green play button (Run), but I have tried pressed play button with a bug on it (Debug). I also would like to note that when I press the stop button next to Application Output, nothing happens ; if that makes a difference.

Thanks for replying.

Update:

I can ./ the executable the QtCreator makes, but when I run the program with QtCreator the terminal window immediately closes.

Hi,

If you disable the terminal then you can get the qDebug() output in Qt Creator "Application output pane", In order to do that Goto Projects -> Run Settings -> Uncheck Run in terminal checkbox.

Disabling terminal worked, thanks!

Don't forget to update the thread's title so other forum users may know that a solution has been found :)

Hi,
@Blakeasd, is your operating system Linux? The QT Creator application will run if run as superuser.
