See the documentation for the \l [QML] TestCase and + \l [QML] SignalSpy types for more information on writing test cases. + + \note There is no binary compatibility guarantee for the Qt Quick Test + module. This means that an application that uses Qt Quick Test is + only guaranteed to work with the Qt version it was developed against. + However, source compatibility is guaranteed. + + \target Running Qt Quick Tests + \section1 Running Tests + + Test cases are launched by a C++ harness that consists of + the following code: + + \snippet src_qmltest_qquicktest.cpp 1 + + Where "example" is the identifier to use to uniquely identify + this set of tests. Finally, add \c{CONFIG += qmltestcase} to the project + file: + + \badcode + TEMPLATE = app + TARGET = tst_example + CONFIG += warn_on qmltestcase + SOURCES += tst_example.cpp + \endcode + + The test harness scans the specified source directory recursively + for "tst_*.qml" files. If \c{QUICK_TEST_SOURCE_DIR} is not defined, + then the current directory will be scanned when the harness is run. + Other *.qml files may appear for auxillary QML components that are + used by the test. + + The \c{-input} command-line option can be set at runtime to run + test cases from a different directory. This may be needed to run + tests on a target device where the compiled-in directory name refers + to a host. For example: + + \badcode + tst_example -input /mnt/SDCard/qmltests + \endcode + + It is also possible to run a single file using the \c{-input} option. + For example: + + \badcode + tst_example -input data/test.qml + \endcode + + \badcode + tst_example -input <full_path>/test.qml + \endcode + + \note Specifying the full path to the qml test file is for example + needed for shadow builds. + + If your test case needs QML imports, then you can add them as + \c{-import} options to the test program command-line. + + If \c IMPORTPATH is specified in your .pro file, each import path added to \c IMPORTPATH + will be passed as a command-line argument when the test is run using "make check": + + \badcode + IMPORTPATH += $$PWD/../imports/my_module1 $$PWD/../imports/my_module2 + \endcode + + The \c{-functions} command-line option will return a list of the current + tests functions. It is possible to run a single test function using the name + of the test function as an argument. For example: + + \badcode + tst_example Test_Name::function1 + \endcode + + The \c{-help} command-line option will return all the options available. + + \badcode + tst_example -help + \endcode + + \section1 Executing C++ Before QML Tests + + To execute C++ code before any of the QML tests are run, the + \l QUICK_TEST_MAIN_WITH_SETUP macro can be used. This can be useful for + setting context properties on the QML engine, amongst other things. + + The macro is identical to \c QUICK_TEST_MAIN, except that it takes an + additional \c QObject* argument. The test framework will call slots and + invokable functions with the following names: + + \table + \header + \li Name + \li Purpose + \row + \li \c {void applicationAvailable()} + \li Called right after the QApplication object was instantiated. + Use this function to setup everything that is not related + to QML directly. + \row + \li \c {void qmlEngineAvailable(QQmlEngine *)} + \li Called when the QML engine is available. + Any \l {QQmlEngine::addImportPath}{import paths}, + \l {QQmlEngine::addPluginPath}{plugin paths}, + and \l {QQmlFileSelector::setExtraSelectors}{extra file selectors} + will have been set on the engine by this point. + \row + \li \c {void cleanupTestCase()} + \li Called right after the test execution has finished. + Use this function to clean up before everything will start to be destructed. + \endtable + + Each function will be called once for each \c {tst_*.qml} file, so any + arguments are unique to that test. For example, this means that each QML + test file will have its own QML engine. + + The following example demonstrates how the macro can be used to set context + properties on the QML engine: + + \snippet src_qmltest_qquicktest.cpp 2 + + The \c .moc include is based on the file name of the \c .cpp file. + For example, in the example above, the \c .cpp file is named + \c tst_mytest.cpp. If the file was named \c MyTest.cpp, the include would + be: + + \code + #include "MyTest.moc" + \endcode + + \section1 Reference + + \list + \li \l{Qt Quick Test QML Types}{QML Types} + \li \l{Qt Quick Test C++ API}{C++ API} + \endlist + + \section1 Licenses + + Qt Quick Tests is available under commercial licenses from \l{The Qt Company}. + In addition, it is available under free software licenses.
