msvc not generate moc file with CMake automoc
2
set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)
set(source_files
a.cpp
b.cpp
...
)
set(header_files
a.hpp
b.hpp
...
)
set(Qt_libs
Qt5::Core
Qt5::Gui
Qt5::Widget
...
)
add_library(demo SHARED ${header_files} ${source_files})
target_link_libraries(demo ${Qt_libs} ...)
set_properties(TARGET demo PROPERTY FOLDER "somewhere")
install(...)
I have a sample CMakeLists.txt shows above.
The most weird thing is, it won't generate those moc files until I manually modified (like adding a empty line to the file) those header files (where Q_OBJECT presents).
The situation not happen every time. But, once it happens, clean build nor deleting whole project file won't help.
I'm using qt 5.11, CMake 3.7, Visual Studio 2015.

@Mac I have both header and source files added to the target. It seems not produced by handling CMake file wrong because the problem happens only sometimes.

You are setting the global setting with set() which could be overwritten.
Please use set_target_properties, for example
project(exampleProj)
add_executable(exampleProj main.cpp)
set_target_properties(exampleProj
PROPERTIES
CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON
CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)

@Ducksoul I need your snippet so I can see if set_target_properties was used on a valid target . Excluding filenames of your sources would still produce a minimum, verifiable, example if the contents are sensitive
