I have a rather large application I need to build/maintain so I decided to use googletest and for convenience wanted to structure the test and the application code as subprojects. I created a superproject with the following structure:
SuperProject - SuperProject.pro - defaults.pri - Application -- Application.pro -- Sources -- main.cpp -- Headers - Tests -- Tests.pro -- main.cpp -- Sources -- Headers With superproject.pro
TEMPLATE = subdirs CONFIG += ordered SUBDIRS += \ Application \ Tests \ OTHER_FILES += \ defaults.pri With defaults.pri
INCLUDEPATH += $$PWD/Application And Tests.pro
include(gtest_dependency.pri) include(../defaults.pri) TEMPLATE = app QT += core CONFIG += console c++11 CONFIG -= app_bundle CONFIG += thread HEADERS += tst_redoundo.h SOURCES += main.cpp And Application.pro
include(ExcelLib/qtxlsx.pri) include(../defaults.pri) TEMPLATE = app QT += qml quick CONFIG += c++14 static { # everything below takes effect with CONFIG ''= static CONFIG+= static CONFIG += staticlib # this is needed if you create a static library, not a static executable DEFINES+= STATIC message("~~~ static build ~~~") # this is for information, that the static build is done win32: TARGET = $$join(TARGET,,,s) #this adds an s in the end, so you can seperate static build from } RC_ICONS += msiconbmp.ico SOURCES += ..omitted RESOURCES += qml.qrc # Additional import path used to resolve QML modules in Qt Creator's code model QML_IMPORT_PATH = # Additional import path used to resolve QML modules just for Qt Quick Designer QML_DESIGNER_IMPORT_PATH = # The following define makes your compiler emit warnings if you use # any feature of Qt which as been marked deprecated (the exact warnings # depend on your compiler). Please consult the documentation of the # deprecated API in order to know how to port your code away from it. DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS # You can also make your code fail to compile if you use deprecated APIs. # In order to do so, uncomment the following line. # You can also select to disable deprecated APIs only up to a certain version of Qt. #DEFINES += QT_DISABLE_DEPRECATED_BEFORE=0x060000 # disables all the APIs deprecated before Qt 6.0.0 # Default rules for deployment. qnx: target.path = /tmp/$${TARGET}/bin else: unix:!android: target.path = /opt/$${TARGET}/bin !isEmpty(target.path): INSTALLS += target DISTFILES += *.pri HEADERS += ..omitted :w
Application compiles and runs fine by its own, so does the test code. But as soon as I try to include anything from Application like so
#include "util.h" #include "tst_redoundo.h" #include <gtest/gtest.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { Util u; ::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv); return RUN_ALL_TESTS(); } The code compiles but won't link with undefined reference to Util constructor. Most of the guides with the same setup as mine assumes that the template of what the test code links against is TEMPLATE = lib but I cannot change the template from app to lib for Application. How do I get the linker to link against Application?

First thing, I can't see anywhere that you linked the gtest library in your test subproject. The command to add is LIBS += -lgtest
More generally, you have only two options. Either you compile your main project as a lib that you then link to your testing subproject, or you have to include in the testing all of your .cpp files. In any case, since it's a separate project, your testing project has no knowledge of your other (sub)projects.
I hope this will point you towards the right answer
