Issue description

Hi. when i want to open documentation in qtcreator i get this error, and i can't see any documentation: QTextBrowser: No document for qthelp://org.qt-project.qtcreator.462/doc/index.html

Steps to reproduce

install direnv and create shell.nix in the root of your project and paste these lines into it:

{ pkgs ? import <nixpkgs> {} }:
  pkgs.mkShell {
    buildInputs = [
                    pkgs.qt5.full
                    pkgs.gcc
                    pkgs.qt5.qtquickcontrols2
                    pkgs.qt5.qtquickcontrols
                    pkgs.qtcreator
                    pkgs.qt5.qtdoc
                    pkgs.clang-analyzer
                    pkgs.clang-tools
                  ];
}

and then run qtcretor.

Also i tested it with nix-shell with same behavior:

nix-shell -p qt5Full -p qtcreator --run qtcreator

Technical details

Please run nix-shell -p nix-info --run "nix-info -m" and paste the results.

A guy recommended me to use this: nix-shell -p qt5Full "(qtcreator.override {withDocumentation = true;})" --run qtcreator. But it gives me another error:

Thank you for your contributions.

This has been automatically marked as stale because it has had no activity for 180 days.

If this is still important to you, we ask that you leave a comment below. Your comment can be as simple as "still important to me". This lets people see that at least one person still cares about this. Someone will have to do this at most twice a year if there is no other activity.

Here are suggestions that might help resolve this more quickly:

Search for maintainers and people that previously touched the related code and @ mention them in a comment.
Ask on the NixOS Discourse.
Ask on the #nixos channel on irc.freenode.net.

Seems this bot doesn't understand the importance of things :)

The withDocumentation flag is just plain broken. See: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/8ff7b290e6dd47d7ed24c6d156ba60fc3c83f100/pkgs/development/tools/qtcreator/default.nix#L76

Not sure why it's disabled by default in the first place - usually you always want the docs with an IDE.
