I'm using the latest AppImage of KDevelop (version 5.6.1) on a kubuntu 20.04 to develop and build a project with CMake.

Opposed to earlier versions of KDevelop this one automatically executes a CMake configure run whenever I save a source file or a CMake file. Earlier versions only did this on manual request.

This is annoying for me, because I have the reflex to save whenever I stop typing and the CMake configure run switches the tool view to the build panel although I may have been working with another view. Additionally, when I work on my (very complex) CMake configuration I sometimes want to watch the configure run to see some changes in the output.

I went through all global and project-specific settings multiple times, but I couldn't find out how to turn off this behavior, so:

How can I turn off the automatic execution of CMake on save in KDevelop 5.6.1?

  • I think the automatic configure is a requirement of the new CMake file api. Visual Studio does the same thing. VSCode won't, but I find it usually less accurate. – Guillaume Racicot Jan 16 '21 at 20:16
  • @GuillaumeRacicot: Thanks for pointing this out. Looks like this commit introduced the behavior: https://invent.kde.org/kdevelop/kdevelop/commit/893b400bd2c65634c429a071efb25163ea837c3b – bjhend Jan 18 '21 at 20:41
  • i have this same problem, so it's not possible to turn off? – thang Jan 01 '23 at 06:10
