[Windows and WSL2] QML module that only contains C++ code breaks `all_qmllint` target

XMLWordPrintable

    • Windows
    • b6b2501e7 (dev), d7ab13edf (6.6), aa2032f41 (tqtc/lts-6.5)

      The attached project has the following subdirectory:

      # MyModule/CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16)
project(MyModule)
qt_add_qml_module(MyModule
    STATIC
    NO_LINT # Does not prevent build error from `all_qmllint`
    URI MyModule
    VERSION 1.0
    SOURCES cppobj.h # QML_ELEMENT only
    # QML_FILES MyItem.qml # Adding a *.qml file makes everything work as expected
)

       

      Problem

      Building the `all_qmllint` target causes an error:

      [10/11 20.7/sec] cd /D D:\QtSupport\Unlintable\MyModule
FAILED: MyModule/CMakeFiles/MyModule_qmllint D:/QtSupport/build-Unlintable-Desktop_Qt_6_5_2_MSVC2019_64bit-Debug/MyModule/CMakeFiles/MyModule_qmllint 
cd /D D:\QtSupport\Unlintable\MyModule
CreateProcess failed: The system cannot find the file specified.
ninja: fatal: ReadFile: The handle is invalid.

       

      Workaround

      Add a dummy/unused *.qml file to the module
