I found a few other hits when searching for this particular problem, but i cant get my setup to work with my unit test project(s).
project info: ( optional reading)
I am in the beginning of my final undergraduate project, where I am to create an IDE for the language Promula and the the verification tool Spin. The professor I am doing this with expects to use it in his classes and for future undergraduates to keep improving. It is also meant to be a open source project everyone can contribute to.
my folder struture:
QSpin
-QSpin.pro
-QSpinApplication
--QSpinapplication.pro
--QSpinApplication.pri
--include
---Workspace
----*.h
--src
---Workspace
----*.cpp
-QSpinApplicationTests
--QSpinApplicationTests.pro
--WorkspaceGroupTests
---WorkspaceGroupTests.pro
----some cpp testfile
My QSpinApplication compiles and runs without any problems. The import of what i have so can be imported.
#include <Workspace/(file_name).h>
However in my test project WorkspaceGroupTests i want to include headers in the same way, but i cant get it to work. Beside that i assume the test project need to know where the cpp files are. If i dont use any of the application headers the test project compiles and runs with the default test case. at the moment i am using a default shadow build with its root folder in the QSpin folder.
Any idea of how i get my test project working correctly, to actual be able to test my application classes?

Not sure if I understood well but in general, what I would advise is to create a separate structure for "lib" where you put logic code that can be tested, so default structure would look like that:
Structure:
├───app.pro
├───lib.pro
└───tests.pro
Then you put in your lib.pro:
TARGET = NameOfTarget
TEMPLATE = lib
CONFIG += staticlib
and add in your tests.pro, and in app.pro:
LIBS += -L../lib -lNameOfTarget
At end it should be possible without problems to include in app directory and in test:
#include "anyHeaderFromLib.h"
.
