Relative paths appear to be non-functional in the gui. I've filled in the 'Root path' field, but if I provide a source directory as a path relative to the root, I get a message stating "No suitable files found to analyze!".

The tool works as expected when I run it with absolute paths for all of the source and include directories. Also, a command-line setup (using the --relative-paths flag) works as expected.

I'm using cppcheck v1.90 on Windows 10.

Thanks!

as far as I remember the paths you provide should be relative to the project file. Can you please try that?

Oh! Using paths relative to the cppcheck project file works as expected.

Sorry, I should have tried more troubleshooting before posting.

I guess we can provide some better help in the dialog.
