Qt Creator - External Tools : Obtain the value of a variable in .pro file

benlau

Hello,

I am writing a tool to work with Qt Creator. I would like to register it as an external tools. And it need two arguments to run: 1) Current editing file 2) The value of QML_IMPORT_PATH defined in pro/pri files. But I can't find a way to pass QML_IMPORT_PATH to external tools. Any suggestion for this problem?

Thanks for any advise.

Finally I can not find a direct way to pass QML_IMPORT_PATH via External Tools interface. Instead, I write the value to a file and tell my tools where to find the files.

 write_file(qmlimport.path, QML_IMPORT_PATH)

Then setup external tool:

Executable : The path to the executable

Arguments: %{CurrentDocument:FilePath} %{CurrentProject:Path}/qmlimport.path
