[Qt-interest] How does QtCreator parse the .pro file

[Vannoote, Frederik]

Hi all,

 

 

 

I'm using QtCreator as IDE. My application has next to the sources also
some unit tests using QTestLib.

My goal is to be able to debug and step through the classes when running
a unit test.

 

This is my directory structure:

 

-          source

o        project.pro

o        components

*         comp1.pri

*         comp2.pri

o        some other classes

-          tests

o        unittests.pro

 

>From the unittests.pro I want to include the project.pro. I do this
using the regular include(../source/project.pro) statement. However the
paths are not correct. To cover that, I prepend ../source to them using
some qmake functions.

At this point that is working fine. I can compile my unittests using the
command line.

 

However, when included in QtCreator, it only lists the .pri and .pro
files without the headers and sources.

Due to that, my code completion don't work, nor can I put breakpoints.

 

 

How can I overcome this?

Is this the correct approach to do these kind of things?

 

 

Kind regards,

Frederik
