Shader fails to compile after upgrading to Qt Creator 4.7

tracyma

vertex and fragment shader are used in ShaderEffect

ShaderEffect {
    id: effect
    
    ...
    ...

    vertexShader: "qrc:/MainWindow/Resources/shader/" + getShaderName() + "_vs.glsl"
    fragmentShader: "qrc:/MainWindow/Resources/shader/" + getShaderName() + "_fs.glsl"
}

The error log:

Qt creator is only an IDE and supports compiling with tool chains.

What is your compiler?
What is the OS?
Which version of source are you compiling?
Fromwhere did you get this source version?

OS: Window 10 pro Build 1803
Compiler: vs2017
Qt Creator was Upgraded to 4.7 with online installer

As noted above, Qt creator is only an IDE supporting you in using tool chains. There is no obvious reason that your program does not compile anymore. You need to check if the update has messed up your tool chain setup.

Go to "Tools"->"Options"->"Build&Run" and check the different tabs special warning signs.

Also you shoulkd do a rerun qmake and a rebuild. For whatever reason,which has nothing to do with the update, your project might be mis-aligned. A complete rebuild after rerun qmake will cure.

Add "QT_OPENGL=desktop" to your global or kit environment variables as a workaround. Apparently the default value was changed to "angle" with the update, which does not support higher opengl versions.

good found !

@Anon723 thank you! Also found my OpenGL wasn't working after update. Alternatively, you can also add the following:

QApplication a(argc, argv);
a.setAttribute(Qt::AA_UseDesktopOpenGL);

to make it work again.
