QT moc class can not find the original file, despite it being in correct directory-CodePudding

I'm trying to build qt project but I keep getting error about no existing header in moc object moc_SerialPortManager.cpp. I moved with bash to that directory and used cd cmd with the path written in mock object and it leads to the correct directory. Does anybody have a slightest idea how to resolve it? At this point it's quite big project so just please tell me what could I publish to make this easier for you? I have it all on git https://github.com/Orpiczy/AcornScanner/compare/fronAndBackJoin if you wish to check it out

I'm using Mingw compiler 8.1.0 64-bit for c and Qt 6.2.0, I'm working on windows10

moc_SerialPortManager.cpp

#include <memory>
#include "../../../../../../source/controllers/LowLevelFunctionality/DeviceController/ProfilometerManager/SerialPortManager.hpp"
#include <QtCore/qbytearray.h> ...

CodePudding user response：

Note that the layout of your repository differs from your local filesystem:

.../debug/.moc/

vs.

.../debug.moc/

Therefore the relative path steps up one level too much and results in a non-existing path.

It is generally considered bad practice to put automatically generated files (i.e. moc files) under version control. I would assume if you remove the whole build directory and build again you will be fine.
