See the documentation for the \l [QML] TestCase and + \l [QML] SignalSpy types for more information on writing test cases. + + \section1 Running Tests + + Test cases are launched by a C++ harness that consists of + the following code: + + \code + #include <QtQuickTest/quicktest.h> + QUICK_TEST_MAIN(example) + \endcode + + Where "example" is the identifier to use to uniquely identify + this set of tests. You should add \c{CONFIG += qmltestcase}. + For example: + + \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 +*/ |
