Correct way to make QML modules Qt 6.5-6.9

[Deymos]

@Redman
So it turns out that the working approach is to put everything in one folder and split the files into modules, then it will look divided in the project tree?

[Redman]

@Deymos Sorry, I forgot a piece of code.

set(QML_IMPORT_PATH
    ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/qml
    CACHE STRING "" FORCE
)
set(QT_QML_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/qml)

With this code you build all your modules into the qml folder. And you tell the qml engine where to look for modules if you do import statements in your qml files.

If you then link against your module like you do in your repo you should be able to "import UI.Components"

You can leave your structure the way it is.

@Redman
wow, seems to this approach is working
but I have a little trouble, I got this

But file is present and in correct path

after cleaning the build, the error from Qt creator disappeared, but the "module "UI.Pages" is not installed" remained at startup.

on work pc i have only Qt 6.2.0, i will also try on 6.9.0 6 hours later

What does that mean?

@Redman

some incredibly strange behavior, I added QML_IMPORT_PATH, my HomePage from the module UI.Pages was created and displayed a message to me, but the module UI.Components is still nowhere to be seen, although there are no special rules for it.

It issues these warnings.
Before I deleted the build folder, the warnings were displayed only for the UI.Assets, maybe the QML language server is buggy, I do not know.

But in the end, HomePage creates, but Components(MButton) does not see.
If i removed MButton and starting with only HomePage (from UI.Pages):

Very strange, they just the same modules, with the same connection way.

I'm updated repo, if you want to look or test https://github.com/Deymoss/MoneyTogether

set(QT_QML_GENERATE_QMLLS_INI OFF) can you remove this and try again?

[Deymos]

@Redman
So I commented this line and deleted the build folder

But unfortunately nothing is changed, probably this approach of moduling is not working and I need an add_library(STATIC) on each module, but I really don't want to, because there will be a mountain of garbage in the project tree.
Or something missing

@Deymos To hide the "garbage" you can do

@Redman
Yeah, I've seen this option.
Thank you very much for your help, I will keep an eye on updates, and as soon as there is a way to make everything working in Qt, I will write in this thread and mark it as solved.
