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".

PS: And if you want to run an executable which is built as part of your project, then the product should of course depend on that executable to make sure it is built before. And the rule should use the executable's `Product.targetName` and ` Product.destinationDirectory` properties to determine the path of the executable.

Hi Yury! > 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. 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?

[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?
