Description
In a realistic use case, the user may want to deploy the same app to different targets.
This means the each target would have different qtinsight.conf file.
To achieve this, it's natural for the user to write CMakeLists.txt like this to switch qtinsight.conf files;
// CMakeLists.txt # change the qtinsight.conf based on the target if (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "MSVC") set(QTINSIGHT_CONFIG "qtinsightconf/MSVC/qtinsight.conf") elseif (CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_ID STREQUAL "GNU") set(QTINSIGHT_CONFIG "qtinsightconf/MinGW/qtinsight.conf") elseif (ANDROID) set(QTINSIGHT_CONFIG "qtinsightconf/Android_arm64_v8a/qtinsight.conf") else() set(QTINSIGHT_CONFIG "qtinsightconf/Default/qtinsight.conf") endif() qt6_add_resources(coffee_insight "config" PREFIX "/" FILES ${QTINSIGHT_CONFIG} OPTIONS -threshold 0 )
However, with current implementation, this doesn't work and the Qt Insight Tracker picks the qtinsight.conf from the Qt installation directory, such as;
// Application Output qt.insight.config: Using configurations from: "C:/Qt/6.5.3/msvc2019_64/qtinsight/qtinsight.conf"
This means the user's qtinsight.conf won't be used.
What's worse, since Qt 6.5.3, this ends up with runtime error like this, ;
// Application Output qt.insight.config: Using configurations from: "C:/Qt/6.5.3/msvc2019_64/qtinsight/qtinsight.conf" qt.insight: Enabling Qt Insight Tracker qt.insight.config: missing token qt.insight: Failed to enabled Qt Insight Tracker, the configuration is not valid
The attached project reproduces the issue with 6.5.3 kit. 6.5.3 makes the issue more obvious because of the changed logic in inValid().
