Hi, I'm seeing this as well on Qt Creator 4.6.1, only on Windows though
(i.e. not on MacOs or Linux).
Steps to reproduce:
In Qt Creator, switch to default session, select "Close All Projects and
Editors" in the File menu. Exit Qt Creator and launch it again.
Select "New File or Project" and choose the "Qt Console Application"
template. Click Next 4 times (i.e. accept the default for everything).
Run the Project (F5) one time (Debug or Release is immaterial).
Select New File or Project again. This time under "Files and Classes",
add a C++ Header File. Name is irrelevant. Click Finish to add the .h
file to your .pro file.
Don't edit the .h file, instead try to Run the Project (F5). Now, on my
Windows 7 SP1 64-bit, invariably I get:
Starting
C:\Projects\build-untitled-Desktop_Qt_5_10_1_MSVC2015_32bit-Debug\untitled.exe...
Executable
C:\Projects\build-untitled-Desktop_Qt_5_10_1_MSVC2015_32bit-Debug\untitled.exe
does not exist.
Exiting Qt Creator, erasing the build directory and relaunching Qt
Creator restores functionality, i.e. Run the Project (F5) then works.
But adding another dummy .h wrecks it again :-(
