[QGIS-Developer] QtCreator does not start QGIS?

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi,

Currently in my Qt build I cannot debug QGIS in qtcreator because it hangs/stops when showing the splash.
After some time the Application Output shows:

../../src/core/qgsmessagelog.cpp:29 : (logMessage) [60891ms] [thread:0x5555560d9d00] 2020-11-11T08:58:15 [1] HTTP fetch https://feed.qgis.org/?after=1605081272&lang=en failed with error Operation canceled
../../src/core/qgsmessagelog.cpp:29 : (logMessage) [0ms] [thread:0x5555560d9d00] 2020-11-11T08:58:15 Network[1] Network request https://feed.qgis.org/?after=1605081272&lang=en timed out

I am connected, and https://feed.qgis.org/?after=1605081272&lang=en is available from my browser.

Disabling: 'Show QGIS news feed on welcome page' and 'Check QGIS version at startup' fix this.

Others have this issue currently?

(I hit my head also with this sometimes when in mixed/http proxied environments
I still think we should use 'opt in' for these 'QGIS phoning home stuff' instead of 'opt out')

Regards,
