Unsolved QtCreator 4.4.1 not showing files from included *.PRI files
-
This issue is a renewed copy of
https://forum.qt.io/topic/37294/qtcreator-3-0-0-not-showing-files-from-included-pri-files
But as there was no suitable answer, I+m retrying my luck.Started to use Qt5.9 and tried to compile an old 4.8 project.
In the Project View the included files are not shown for any included *.PRI file.I use a common library folder with several *.PRI files.
Currently, the files have the below structure and compile fine in Qt4.8:INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD DEPENDPATH += $$PWD HEADERS += indea_system.h SOURCES += indea_system.cpp
However, compiling the project in Qt5.9 it reports that in can't find indea_system.* files.
I've tried to remove the DEPENDPATH, as its behvaiour changed in Qt5. Didn't helped.Finally, the *.PRI file modified to show files in QtCreator 4.4 is as below:
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD HEADERS += $$PWD/indea_system.h SOURCES += $$PWD/indea_system.cpp
But I find this wrong.
Why do I have to always attach $$PWD path as I already said where to include files from?
The first (or old) implementation in 4.8 seems much more neat to me.
Specially, if you have several files to include in the *.PRICan somebody explain me why this has changed?
Do I miss something?
Is there a way to keep the HEADERS/SOURCES list neat as in 4.8? -
Just run into the same problem. In my case the problem was that in the main .pro file I was using
...
HEADERS = \
$$PWD/Application.hSOURCES = \
$$PWD/Application.cpp
...This was clearing any previous content of SOURCES and HEADERS and as a conesquence there was no included source file seen in the project tree in qtcreator
In my case the solution was to add the '+' before the '=' -> change to
...
HEADERS += \
$$PWD/Application.hSOURCES += \
$$PWD/Application.cpp
...
