You're shadow building. I noticed this the other day.

The problem is that the .json files are generated. You could force them 
to be created in the source tree (as per 
https://codereview.qt-project.org/#change,30732) but since creating 
files in the source tree is bad form, the real fix will be to have moc 
search in the build tree for these files.

I'm not sure if there's a change for that yet.
