When do changes to a QML file not take effect?

[Stefan Monov76]

I've had a problem happen for the second time over the last week. It seems to happen randomly. I change something in a QML file, save it, run the app, and see that my change has not taken effect. I rerun the app and it still has not taken effect.

The first time this happened to me, it got fixed by itself after I did some git stuff (in this order: git stash save, rollback to an older revision, go back to the newest revision, git stash pop). The second time I didn't do that, but ran qmake from the Qt Creator menu and that fixed it.

What could be the cause of the problem?

I'm using Qt Creator 4.1.0.
