That's what I'm doing, actually. Works fine on he command line, like you 
said.
But QtCreator does not know how to handle this case. You see all test 
targets in QtCreator's list, but running them does not build them first. 
So either you'll get a "file not found" error or maybe an outdated 
executable.
You can only build them with a manual call to ninja.
