Qt Creator just updated to version 17.0.0, built on Jun 17 2025.
Now the "Run in Terminal" feature no longer works.
My app needs to run in a real terminal, not that fake terminal in the QtCreator bottom panel.
By default, an app outputs text to the Application Output tab in QtCreator, which is wrong.
If I check Projects -> Run -> Run in Terminal, it outputs to the Terminal tab instead. Still wrong.
If I uncheck Preferences... -> Terminal -> "Use internal terminal", the app used to run in a new terminal, which is correct behavior, but after the recent update, no terminal appears.
One workaround, is to use a file manager to navigate to the compiled executable, and run it directly, instead of using the run button on Qt Creator. This is not ideal.
Another workaround, is to hard-code the path to the executable in the terminal parameters like this:
Go to: Preferences -> Environment -> System -> Terminal:
Select "/usr/bin/x_terminal-emulator" In the third box, replace the "-e" with:
-e bash -c "/home/user/full_path_to/executable; read"
Now the app does run in the terminal, but this field must be updated for each project.
This is also not ideal.
Please fix.
