+ \title AutotestRunner Item
+ \brief A product that runs all autotests in the project.
+
+ An \c AutotestRunner has a dependency to all products with the type "autotest". "Building"
+ the \c AutotestRunner product will then run the respective executables. The \c builtByDefault
+ property of an \c AutotestRunner is set to \c false by default, so running the autotests
+ has to be explicitly requested. The default name of the product is "autotest-runner".
+ To use this feature, do the following:
+ \list A
+ \li
+ Attach the "autotest" type to your autotests:
+ \code
+ CppApplication {
+ name: "tst_mytest"
+ type: ["application", "autotest"]
+ // ...
+ }
+ \endcode
+ \li
+ Instantiate exactly one \c AutotestRunner in your project, typically at the top level:
+ \code
+ Project {
+ // ...
+ AutotestRunner { }
+ // ...
+ }
+ \endcode
+ \li
+ Trigger the autotest execution by "building" the product:
+ \code
+ qbs build -p autotest-runner
+ \endcode
+ \endlist
+
+ \section1 AutotestRunner Properties
+
+ \table
+ \header
+ \li Property
+ \li Type
+ \li Default
+ \li Description
+ \row
+ \li arguments
+ \li stringList
+ \li empty
+ \li The list of arguments to invoke the autotest with.
+ \row
+ \li environment
+ \li stringList
+ \li set internally
+ \li A list of environment variables that are added to the run environment.
+ They are provided as a list of strings in the form "varName=value".
+ By default, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH, DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH, and DYLD_ROOT_PATH
+ are set on macOS, or an empty list for other platforms.
+ \row
+ \li limitToSubProject
+ \li bool
+ \li \c true
+ \li By default, only those autotests are considered that are in the same sub-project that
+ the \c AutotestRunner was instantiated in. If you want to run all autotests regardless
+ of their location in the project hierarchy, set this property to \c false.
+ \row
+ \li wrapper
+ \li stringList
+ \li empty
+ \li Wrapper binary and its arguments for wrapping autotest calls.
+ This is useful for tools like Valgrind and alike.
