    Description

      Hi,

      the cmake source_group setting is still a bit buggy in QtCreator

      Example:

      #              "" ->empty named group, i.e. toplevel - directly under target
        source_group("" FILES
          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/a/a1.cpp
          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/a/a2.cpp
          )
        source_group("" FILES
          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/inc/a/a1.h
          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/inc/a/a2.h
          )
      

      results in the following wrong buggy tree-browser:

          

      It should be fixed, to look like this:

            

      In other words: both cpp files and h header under the same named group! (in this special case the named group is "", meaning: toplevel - directly under target).

       

      To reproduce, simply grab this CMakeLists.txt and try it!

      cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.18)
      
      project(go LANGUAGES CXX)
      
      file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/a/a1.cpp "")
      file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/a/a2.cpp "")
      
      file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/inc/a/a1.h "")
      file(WRITE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/inc/a/a2.h "")

      set(SG_VARIANT_CHOICES "1a" "1b" "2a" "2b")

        message(FATAL_ERROR "SG_VARIANT must be one of ${SG_VARIANT_CHOICES}")
      endif ()

          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/inc/a/a1.h
          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/inc/a/a2.h
          )

          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/a/a2.cpp
          )
        source_group("here\\includes" FILES
          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/inc/a/a1.h
          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/inc/a/a2.h
          )
      elseif ("${SG_VARIANT}" STREQUAL "2b")
        ## variant 2b
        source_group(TREE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/a PREFIX "here\\sources" FILES
          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/a/a1.cpp
          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/src/a/a2.cpp
          )

          ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/inc/a/a2.h

      endif()
      
      

       

      CmakeVariable SG_VARIANT is  "1a" or "1b"

      Bug (current):

          

      Fix should be:

            

       

      CmakeVariable SG_VARIANT is  "2a" or "2b"

      Bug (current):

          

      Fix should be:

          

      To compare with visual studio:

      (in visual studio it is correct, when generating a sln solution)

      cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022" -D SG_VARIANT=1a ../bugreport
      cmake --open .
