Debug configuration missing error

akshaybabloo

I have been getting the following error:

error: No "Debug" CMake configuration found. Available configuration: "Release".
Make sure that CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable matches the "Build type" field.

And my initial CMake parameters are:

-GNinja
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug
-DCMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE_BEFORE:PATH=%{IDE:ResourcePath}/package-manager/auto-setup.cmake
-DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE:STRING=%{Qt:qmakeExecutable}
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:STRING=%{Qt:QT_INSTALL_PREFIX}
-DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:STRING=%{Compiler:Executable:C}
-DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:STRING=%{Compiler:Executable:Cxx}

I honestly don't know what the problem is. The Release type works fine.

Update

I am using Conan cmake tool, removing or keeping does not make any difference

Same issue for me, for some of the projects, though in the different way - Debug works, but Release does not :)

CMakee 3.18.4 on Debian 10 Buster,
Qt Creator 6.0.1,
Qt 5.15.7 and Qt 5.13.2

Could you resolve it? I'm having the same problem as @akshaybabloo, I've tried everything without success, this is making me crazy.

EDIT: SOLVED IT!! @akshaybabloo and @Talkless, check your CMakeLists.txt file, the one in the base of your project; there you must have a line saying

set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)

Just surround it with if's, just like this

if(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
    set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)
endif()

Now everything works as expected.

I know this is old, but I just wanted to confirm that this worked for me. I was having the exact same issue.

Thanks!

Hi, I had the same problem i.e. the cmake configuration issue.
How I need to solve the issues(just follow the image)
How I need to build and debug with the STM32 Boards?

根本原因是Qt Creator不保存CMAKE变量CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE，该变量一直保持着第一次设置的值。所以，当我们切换构建类型时需要改变该变量为当前构建类型，手动修改该变量或者点击用初始参数重新配置。

设置完记得Run CMake
