Promoting to custom widget in QtDesigner '*.hpp' no such file or directory [cmake]

Valveware

Hello, I am having trouble promoting a widget in the qt designer to a widget I made. The widget I made is derived from a QFrame so I am promoting a regular QFrame in the designer. But when I try to build ui_main_window.h complains it can't find the specified header.
For the promotion I tried the following settings and their combinations:
Base class name:
QFrame
Promoted class name
CameraFrame
dashboard::CameraFrame
Header file
include/dashboard/cameraframe.hpp
dashboard/cameraframe.hpp
cameraframe.hpp

So I think I should be adding something else to my CMakeLists.txt perhaps? I don't how I can fix this. My project's layout is :

/dashboard
----/include
--------/dashboard
------------...
------------cameraframe.hpp
------------...
----/src
--------cpp files
----/resources
--------/images
----/test
--------tests
----/ui
--------mainwindow.ui
----CMakeLists.txt
----mainpage.dox
----packages.xml

Thanks in advance!

@Valveware You probably don't have the custom widget mocced in your cmake. Can you share your cmakelists.txt?

Ok that looks like it would indeed moc your cameraframe.hpp.. So that's probably not the issue.

Can you share the build log from gcc? And also the ui_main_window.h file as well as ui_cameraframe.h?
