    Description

      If I use "qt_generate_foreign_qml_types" for a library in a subdirectory qmltyperegistrar fails to generate the file.

      [11/27] Generate QML registration code for target ui_base
FAILED: ui_base_ui_qml.cpp ui_base_ui_qml.h /tmp/o/ui_base_ui_qml.cpp /tmp/o/ui_base_ui_qml.h 
cd /tmp/o && /usr/lib/qt6/qmltyperegistrar --extract -o ui_base_ui_qml /tmp/o/base/meta_types/qt6ui_base_metatypes.json
Error 5 while parsing /tmp/o/base/meta_types/qt6ui_base_metatypes.json: illegal value
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

      If I move the stuff from "add_subdirectory(base)" into the main CMakeLists.txt it works in attached example. But I cannot move those components in my real world app.
