qrc resources are not available during debug build

[roumor]

Qt 5.0 windows

debug build of my program can't load png image from resources. Widget that supposed to show it stays empty. But when i switch to Release build the image appears just fine.
Also when I use direct path like "c://image.png" then it works too.

I did not modify any build parameters and got fresh installation of Qt 5.0.

do i need to add something to my project settings?

Please prepare a minimal compilable example reproducing the problem.

main.cpp



#include <QApplication>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QGraphicsView>
#include <QGraphicsPixmapItem>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{

QApplication a(argc, argv);
QGraphicsScene scene;
QGraphicsView view(&scene);
QGraphicsPixmapItem item(QPixmap(":/images/wearepros.png")); //doesn't load during debug build
scene.addItem(&item);
view.show();
return a.exec();
}

res.qrc


<RCC>
<qresource prefix="/images">
<file>sample.jpg</file>
<file>wearepros.png</file>
<file>sample.bmp</file>
</qresource>
</RCC>

What about the project file?

#-------------------------------------------------
#
# Project created by QtCreator 2012-12-23T13:46:35
#
#-------------------------------------------------

QT += core gui

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = test3
TEMPLATE = app


SOURCES += main.cpp\
mainwindow.cpp

HEADERS += mainwindow.h

FORMS += mainwindow.ui

RESOURCES += \
res.qrc

I created project via New Project->Qt gui project. Then replaced main.cpp with my code and left everything else as it was. then did Add new ->qt resource, added prefix and files.

Added after 7 minutes:

I uploaded my project's folder if you like

The code looks ok and it works fine for me both in release and debug (on Linux though, however this shouldn't matter).

Please check if the final size of your debug executable changes depending on whether RESOURCES += res.qrc exists in your project file or not.

Nope it does not change. it always stays 56kb

release one does change. it is 11kb without "RESOURCES +=" line in pro and 275kb with it.

Try cleaning the project completely, run qmake and make again. Do you get any warnings during compilation?

thank you wysota.

I re installed Qt completely and it's now working and showing resources.
