This is how I understand the documentation:
Yes module properties can be specified on file level (in a group), but:
- probes are evaluated only once for each product and in product scope
- the probe would see the module properties set for a product
- the probe would not see module properties set for a group

However, this is an interesting question.
Is it true that all module properties should be allowed to be set per-file?

 Product {
  Depends { name: "mymodule"; }
  mymodule.useFeature: true // enable some probes here, do heavy checks

  Group { files: «file»;  mymodule.useFeature: false; } // does nothing, 
all checks are already done
  }

What worse, this won’t work at all:

 Product {
  Depends { name: "mymodule"; }
  Group { files: «file»;  mymodule.useFeature: true; } // ooops
  }

Yes, I’d like to have some syntax sugar here.
But 2-liner is probably OK too.

[Qbs] How do I use Parameter property in a module itself?

2019-06-10 Thread Иван Комиссаров
I’d like to do something like this:

Module {
Parameter { property bool useFeature: false }

Probes.BinaryProbe {
condition: useFeature
}
}

So I’d be able to write:

Depends { name: "mymodule"; useFeature: true; }
