Qt Creator ignores QML-Prototype in custom Module

[Tobias F]

Hi all,

I've written a custom QML-Module and therein is a type called MyTextBlock.qml

import QtQuick 2.3
Text
{
    verticalAlignment: Text.AlignVCenter
    font.pixelSize: 34
    font.weight: Font.Bold;
}

This type is inside a qrc file and is registered via a QQmlExtensionPlugin in the 'registerTypes' method in the following way

qmlRegisterType(QUrl("qrc:/MyTextBlock.qml"), uri, 1, 0, "MyTextBlock");

The qmldirof the extension plugin is

module UiComponents
plugin UiComponents
typeinfo plugins.qmltypes

and the generated plugins.types is

import QtQuick.tooling 1.1

// This file describes the plugin-supplied types contained in the library.
// It is used for QML tooling purposes only.
//
// This file was auto-generated by:
// 'qmlplugindump.exe UiComponents 1.0 D:\plugin\release\'

Module {
    Component {
        prototype: "QQuickText"
        name: "UiComponents/MyTextBlock"
        exports: ["MyTextBlock 1.0"]
        exportMetaObjectRevisions: [0]
        isComposite: true
        defaultProperty: "data"
    }
}

Now I create a new QML-App and import the module and set the QML_IMPORT_PATH property inside the .pro file
The main.qml file looks like

import QtQuick 2.3
import QtQuick.Window 2.2

import UiComponents 1.0

Window {
    visible: true
    width: 360
    height: 360
 
   MyTextBlock
{
color:"red"
}

The type MyTextBlock is recognized by QT-Creator and when I hover over the import statement QT-Creator gives me a "Read typeinfo file successfully" but it complains about the color property with the message Invalid property name "color"

The applications itself runs fine but the error messages in QT-Creator are annoying. Is here something missing that must be done to support Qt-Creator?

As a side note. I've also a pure c++ based QObject inside the module that's also registered and when I uses this object inside an application it's properties are not marked as invalid. Somehow I think QT-Creator ignorest the "inherited" parameters of the prototype of the type. (QQuickText in case of MyTextBlock)

Indeed, QtCreator seems to ignore the "prototype" member in .qmltypes because the file is generated correctly.
