"QML Import could not be resolved in any of the import paths: shared" when trying to QML debug example "emitters"

Receiving warning ""QML Import could not be resolved in any of the import paths: shared"" while trying to QML debug example emitters. Due the missing import, debugging doesn't start properly and the application quits after a while. Application output shows "module shared is not installed message before the "exit app  0" message pops up.
