Qt Creator and other tools

@berliner : It was fixed in https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt-creator/qt-creator/+/708134 commit. However, it went to Creator 19.0 so please try this version to verify whether it fixes your issue.

But with QtCreator 20.0.0 there is no difference.

Hi and welcome to devnet, Did you already your kit configuration in Qt Creator ?

@cristian-adam Nice, thanks!

Hi, You should add: Which version of Qt Creator Which version of Qt On which OS Try to record a small video showing the issue

Hi, I've solved this problem. In README.md, I found an extra step to install the documentation. I should've run these commands after installing Qt: cmake --build . --target docs sudo cmake --build . --target install_docs But, since I had deleted my qt-build and /opt/Qt6/examples, I did these following to make the examples, along with the documentation, accessible from within Qt Creator: mkdir qt-build && cd qt-build ~/qt-sources/configure -prefix /opt/Qt6 -skip qtwebengine -nomake tests -make examples -- -DQT_BUILD_EXAMPLES_BY_ DEFAULT=OFF -DQT_INSTALL_EXAMPLES_SOURCES=ON cmake --build . --parallel --target docs sudo cmake --install . --component examples_sources sudo cmake --build . --parallel --target install_docs After that, the examples and documentation are accessible from Qt Creator: [image: edb125fb-5997-469c-bdb2-f50239796b90.png] Screenshot of Examples [image: 5a9e5824-ab94-48fc-8351-7bb5b5ba89d8.png] Screenshot of Help

And if you have Ninja installed via Qt SDK, you should have in your QtCreator.ini something like: [CMakeSpecificSettings] NinjaPath=/Users/cristian/Qt/Tools/Ninja//ninja which should get CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM set to this value.

@DungeonLords The topic you reference was apparently resolved/worked around by disabling Run in terminal but not yours, so I presume it's a different cause. I don't know whether other people will be able to help you on this. If you want a diagnose where the problem lies I would: Run gdb on your QML application directly from the command line. Does that work fine or have the same issue? Then you know whether it is to do with Creator or not. Write the minimal "Hello World" app in QML and debug that from Creator. Fine or goes wrong? Then you know whether it is due to something specific in your code.

@qterrrrrrr said in Visual Studio 2026 with Qt Visual Studio Tools 3.5.0 extension very very slow: i got the same issue it stack at QtUpdateCompilerOptions for a long times everytime ,[image: 5e87d5f7-75f0-435b-80e1-b42ae4f973f6.png] Hi and welcome to devnet, Do you have a small project that reliably triggers this ? If so, you should contribute to ticket already opened on this subject.

I found out that if I create a new project without any translation files, it opens the project normally. Then if I add a TRANSLATIONS section to the .pro file, I get the error described above. So it might have something to do with Qt Linguist? But I can use different AI models in Lnguist, not necessarily ollama?

Go to Tools > Debug Qt Creator > Inspect C++ Code Model ... there you should get access to some information that the code model uses. Otherwise you would have to enable some logging to get more info.

@cristian-adam said in How to Enable Python Type Hints in Qt Creator?: I've opened up QTCREATORBUG-34195: Python debugging not having pretty printers for Pyside6 Qt types. The bug report has been closed, and this is how Qt Creator master (21) looks like: [image: e72021e9-d1f7-4576-877c-ebb5aa2a6ac4.png]

Hi and welcome to devnet, Do you have an anti-virus running ? They usually quarantine any application created through a build process.

Thank you, looks good! A note for those (like me) who builds Qt Creator Plugins: Installing vanilla Qt 6.11.1 is not enough, you also need to install Qt TaskTree: [image: d9e1531e-09f0-426b-a1bd-6fe56c1f08c6.png] And you need to add this to the Plugin's CMakeLists.txt: set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 20) (Otherwise I think CMake defaults to C++17 which is not good enough for Qt TaskTree).

It was a issue with the Qt Creator version. Using the same Qt Creator Version the editor does not generate different enums.

Then go to https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/ and respectively https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qtcreator/11.0/11.0.1/

Thank you for posting this. Qt Creator 19.0.2 has a CMake find package dependency provider that checks to see if Qt packages are missing, and if so, then you can get an Issue with a link to automagically install the missing Qt component. But there is an issue when a Qt component has a dependency on other Qt components that might have missing dependencies. I have tried a Qt Widgets "Hello World" with missing system dev packages. With Qt Creator 19.0.2 and a Qt SDK Qt 6.11.1 I get this in General Messages: [cmake] Running /snap/bin/cmake -S /home/cristian/Projects/C++/HelloQtWidgets -B /home/cristian/Projects/C++/HelloQtWidgets/build/Desktop_Qt_6_11_1-Debug -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug -DCMAKE_COLOR_DIAGNOSTICS:BOOL=ON -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/ccache/aarch64-linux-gnu-g++-13 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/usr/lib/ccache/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc-13 -DCMAKE_GENERATOR:STRING=Ninja -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM:STRING=/usr/bin/ninja -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=/home/cristian/Qt/6.11.1/gcc_arm64 -DCMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE_BEFORE:FILEPATH=/home/cristian/Projects/C++/HelloQtWidgets/build/Desktop_Qt_6_11_1-Debug/.qtcreator/cmake-helper/qtcreator-project.cmake -DQT_CREATOR_ENABLE_MAINTENANCE_TOOL_PROVIDER:BOOL=ON -DQT_CREATOR_ENABLE_PACKAGE_MANAGER_SETUP:BOOL=ON -DQT_ENABLE_QML_DEBUG:BOOL=ON -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:FILEPATH=/home/cristian/Qt/6.11.1/gcc_arm64/bin/qmake in /home/cristian/Projects/C++/HelloQtWidgets/build/Desktop_Qt_6_11_1-Debug.
