[Development] Importing a module build in creator

[Mitch Curtis]

This is the same situation I’m in. Would be nice if they were built when you hit run, but as a workaround I use Alt+B, Alt+R (from memory… I think that’s right):
https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/330075
That way you can do that key combination and then Ctrl+R to run the test.

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So either you'll get a "file not found" error or maybe an outdated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.

Arno
