    Description

      I go through normal steps to create a QObject-derived class with the Q_OBJECT macro but cannot build because the moc_*.cpp file is not generated.

      Steps to reproduce:
      1. Create a new Qt Console Application project
      2. Add a new class derived from QObject
      3. Edit the header file of the new class to add Q_OBJECT
      4. Save. Observe moc_MyData.cpp appears in Solution Explorer
      5. Build. Observe error:
      Cannot open source file: 'GeneratedFiles\Debug\moc_MyData.cpp'
      : No such file or directory
      6. Verify on file system that GeneratedFiles\Debug folder structure
      exits, but is empty; moc_MyData.cpp does not exist

      I verified this behavior on my workstation and on two virtual machines with VS 2015 and VS 2013. All test systems have at least two versions of Qt: a Windows x64 Desktop Qt and a WEC2013 ARM Qt. Neither virtual machine had a prior version of VS Addin. On the virtual machines, I only set Windows x64 Desktop Qt 5.6.1-1 in the VS Addin.

      Just as I hit "Create" I saw "Bug"... bug cannot find how to change this from a bug. This is really just a recommended change.
