Creator start up issue

[sterling]

Two of us are sharing work on the same project. He checked in his work to svn and that included the project files for the job. When I check out his code and attempt to run Creator on my system I get an error.

"Using Old Settings for TestProject"
" The versioned backup d:\tmp\TestProject.pro.user.JIR984 of the user settings file is used because the non-versioned file was created by an incompatible version of Qt Creator ...".

I am using the same version of Creator as my associate with the same build date. When I say OK to this message, Creator goes into never-never land and the busy cursor never goes away. My associate has no trouble moving the project around on his computer. I have attempted to delete one or the other and both of the .user. files and still Creator just spins.



Any idea what and why this is going on?

Maybe your associated accidentally committed the .pro.user file?

Not sure what you mean. He did commit all the .pro.user.xxx files. I attempted to start things up by deleting those files and Creator just continues to spin. Should he have not committed the .pro.user.xxx files? What is contained in these files that would make a difference?

Thanks.

Xxx.pro contains the description of how to build your project. This is the thing you share.
Xxx.pro.user.* files are created by Qt Creator to hold project and machine specific settings such as where Creator builds the project, or which compiler or Qt version it uses , run time working directories and arguments. You should not share this file.
Close Creator, delete the Xxx.pro.user.* files, start Creator, and open the xxx.pro file.
