Qt Creator 3.1.1 fails to run unit tests against Qt 5.4.0 beta

[Timo Jyrinki]

Qt Creator 3.1.1 fails to run some unit tests against Qt 5.4.0 beta, so either the unit tests would need some fixing (or disabling if it's just a single test and it's understood why it now fails) or the Qt Creator should be updated to a newer version:
