[Qbs] Error after running tests

[Jochen Ulrich]

Hi!

The error is not related to installing.
It's a bit unfortunate that there is no "Installation done" message. That's why it looks like the error is happening during installation.

The error says "ERROR: Cannot run:" because you are trying to `qbs run` but the "check" product is not an application but the AutotestRunner.
The AutotestRunner runs the tests during the build step. That's a bit confusing...

So instead of 
$ qbs run -p check

you should do
$ qbs build -p check


Kind regards
 
Jochen Ulrich

    Hi there!
      I'm using the AutotestRunner to run the unit tests in my project [1].
    The tests run successfully, but then QBS tries to install them (why?)
    and fails:

    ERROR: Cannot run: Product 'check' is not an application.
    ===========================
    
    ("check" is the name of the AutotestRunner item)
    It's been a while since I ran the unit tests on this project, but I
    don't remember having seen this before.
    
    Is there a way to suppress the installation (or at least to get rid of
    the error)?
    
    Ciao,
      Alberto
