Qt Creator 3.5.0
-
None
-
Windows (7 and 10)
Qt 5.5
MSVC 2013 (edit from 2015 - finger trouble)
Description
I started from a clean environment: Uninstalled Qt completely and installed Qt 5.5.
Did a clean git checkout of branch 3.5 but building fails due to 'clean' deleting all files in "share/qtcreator/qml/qmlpuppet/interfaces".
I can consistently recreate with the following steps:
I have checked out 3.5 using the following: (in git Bash)
/c/Development/QtCreator/3.5 (3.5)
$ git status
On branch 3.5
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/3.5'.
$ git checkout .
$ git clean -dxf
Removing qtcreator.pro.user
$ ls share/qtcreator/qml/qmlpuppet/interfaces
commondefines.h nodeinstanceclientinterface.h nodeinstanceserverinterface.cpp
interfaces.pri nodeinstanceglobal.h nodeinstanceserverinterface.h
$ git log

I then open the Qt 5.5 command line and do the following from there:

As one can see, after the clean command the interfaces folder is empty. Trying to build Qt Creator then fails with the error "Dependent 'commondefines.h' does not exist" which was in the folder before the clean.
If I do not do a clean or rebuild, but just a build, the build completes but the resulting Qt Creator is broken (Welcome screen is blank and other issues). See attached screenshot of this.
As I have mentioned, this is a clean environment. I first had the issue on a re-install of Qt on Windows 7. I then did a clean OS upgrade to Windows 10 but the issue persisted. My Qt installation is as seen in the attached screenshot of my Qt Maintenance App.
I have followed the exact same steps but on a clean checkout of Qt Creator 3.4 branch and do not have the issue. The files are not deleted and the build completes without errors.
PS:
- Using command line since it is easiest to show exact steps: commands were copied from what Qt Creator did.
- Doing a clean first since it shows the quickest what the issue is.
