Hey all,

currently the ImportProjectJob is not really interruptable. It has doKill
that just waitForFinished which can easily lead to deadlocks nowadays,
since we can import stuff from the background bug QMetaType::invokeMethod
in the projectmodel then. E.g.:
btw, I just notice that this is probably only hit when I try this patch:

Which would be an (imo) awesome addition to KDevelop. It didn't used to work
as items where added from random threads but now that they are always added
from the UI it just works™

As I noted here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=256709 it seems that the ImportProjectJob cannot be canceled because it is run with QtConcurrent::run(), which the documentation states doesn't support being canceled. All you can do is wait for it to finish.
Until such a time as someone rewrites ProjectImportJob to support killing, shouldn't the ImportProjectJob simply not advertise itself as Killable?

(As a side note, when I remove the call to setCapabilities(killable), the stop button still gets enabled, but simply doesn't do anything...)

Right now what we're doing is that if it's cancelled the process is told to be finished ASAP. If the project is using the "QList ::parse()" method properly it will stop reading further in the tree and close the project.
