Description prkc 2016-05-16 23:48:58 UTC
Currently I cannot select the source directory (which contains the CMakeLists.txt file) as the build directory when opening the project with a recent git version of KDevelop 5.

Qt Creator supports this and I would like to use in-source builds after switching to KDevelop. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open CMake project
2. Try to select source directory as build directory
3.

This might cause problems when pruning the build. There was a bug in KDevelop 4 which allowed you to prune your source dir when it was an in source build.
