Thought I'd share this now that I've fixed similar thing in 4
different places (akonadi, kcm_lookandfeel, kscreen, keyboard kcm)
Sometimes builds fail like that depending upon shade of moon, real fix
for this is not re-running build but,

Having something like : http://commits.kde.org/plasma-desktop/30ec050fd

If you are using kded module, or kcm module or something in your test
build, then you need to make a call to,

add_dependencies(your_test_target target_generating_json)

Thanks,
