Detailed Description

A QtLupdateRunner has a dependency on all products that have a Qt dependency.

Building the QtLupdateRunner product will run the lupdate tool on eligible source files from these products in order to update the project's translation files with regard to the translatable strings in these sources.

The builtByDefault property is set to false by default, so updating the translation files has to be explicitly requested.

The default name of the product is "lupdate-runner".

To use this feature:

1. Instantiate a QtLupdateRunner in your project, typically at the top level:

    Project {
        // ...
        QtLupdateRunner { }
        // ...
    }
   

2. Trigger the translation files update by building the product:

    qbs build -p lupdate-runner
