No. Instead, the rule should take "application" (or a more unique tag if necessary) as "explicitlyDependsOnFromDependencies" and access the executable via the artifact, i.e. "explicitlyDependsOn.application[0].filePath".

The "several predefined command line arguments" parts should be possible by
writing a Product with a corresponding Rule.
Something like this (UNTESTED!):
Product {
name: "my-command"
type: [ "command" ]
builtByDefault: false
Rule {
multiplex: true
alwaysRun: true
inputs: []
Artifact {
filePath: "dummy"
fileTags: [ "command" ]
}
prepare: {
let cmd = new Command();
cmd.description = "Running my-command";
cmd.program = "path/to/my-command";
cmd.arguments = [ "--arg1", "--arg2" ];
return cmd;
}
}
}
Then, *building* the product "my-command" will run the command.
Maybe you need to tune the Rule's properties to have it work as expected (as
written above: this is untested).
See also https://doc.qt.io/qbs/qml-qbslanguageitems-rule.html and
https://doc.qt.io/qbs/commands.html for more info.
However, this won't show up as a runnable in QtCreator because the execution of
the command is happening as a build step and there is no artifact to be
executed after building.
But "my-command" would show up in QtCreator's project view and there it could
be triggered by right-click -> Build.
Maybe that's good enough for you?
Best

[Qbs] Specify custom applications and application arguments in qbs project
I have a project which creates an executable which accepts different command line arguments I want to specify in the qbs project that there are several predefined command line arguments which will be visible as separate runnables in QtCreator. It would be also nice if I can specify 3d party executables as well with arguments and environment. Currently for a work-around I copy run configuration and specify all arguments manually, downside is that these changes are stored in .user file, and on a different machine (and a platform) I need to specify it again, which is not convenient and error-prone. Maybe you know a way how I can achieve this? Or at least point to me how QtCreator understands that the artifact can be executed?
