How to add import path of a QML module defined in cxx-qt for qmllint?

[klochowicz]

Hi!

I'm trying to use qmllint for my QML application, but it cannot find the import path to the module built with cxx-qt.

I've noticed that deep down in the build directory there's .qmltypes etc that I suspect I need to import, but it's not exposed anywhere - would it be possible to somehow export QML type information into e.g. the same place where the generated c++ code is being placed?

Hi @klochowicz , you're right that this is currently not exported into a stable place.

We're currently reworking how we build our qml modules. We'll try to add the .qmltypes to a stable directory (e.g. the CXX_QT_EXPORT_DIR) so that they can be picked up by external tooling.

I hope that will add support for qmllint and qmlls
