static PySide.QtTest.QTest.addColumnInternal(id, name)
Parameters:
  • id – PySide.QtCore.int
  • name – str
static PySide.QtTest.QTest.asciiToKey(ascii)
Parameters:ascii – PySide.QtCore.char
Return type:PySide.QtCore.Qt.Key

Convert an ascii char key value to a Qt Key value. If the key is unknown a 0 is returned.

Note: this may happen more than you like since not all known ascii keys _are_ converted already. So feel free to add all the keys you need.

static PySide.QtTest.QTest.compare_ptr_helper(t1, t2, actual, expected, file, line)
Parameters:
  • t1 – void
  • t2 – void
  • actual – str
  • expected – str
  • file – str
  • line – PySide.QtCore.int
Return type:

PySide.QtCore.bool
static PySide.QtTest.QTest.compare_string_helper(t1, t2, actual, expected, file, line)
Parameters:
  • t1 – str
  • t2 – str
  • actual – str
  • expected – str
  • file – str
  • line – PySide.QtCore.int
Return type:

PySide.QtCore.bool
static PySide.QtTest.QTest.currentDataTag()
Return type:str

Returns the name of the current test data. If the test doesn’t have any assigned testdata, the function returns 0.

static PySide.QtTest.QTest.currentTestFailed()
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Returns true if the current test function failed, otherwise false.

static PySide.QtTest.QTest.currentTestFunction()
Return type:str

Returns the name of the test function that is currently executed.

Example:

void MyTestClass.cleanup()
{
    if (qstrcmp(currentTestFunction(), "myDatabaseTest") == 0) {
        // clean up all database connections
        closeAllDatabases()
    }
}
static PySide.QtTest.QTest.ignoreMessage(type, message)
Parameters:
  • type – PySide.QtCore.QtMsgType
  • message – str

Ignores messages created by qDebug() or qWarning() . If the message with the corresponding type is outputted, it will be removed from the test log. If the test finished and the message was not outputted, a test failure is appended to the test log.

Note

Invoking this function will only ignore one message. If the message you want to ignore is outputted twice, you have to call PySide.QtTest.QTest.ignoreMessage() twice, too.

Example:

QDir dir

QTest.ignoreMessage(QtWarningMsg, "QDir.mkdir: Empty or null file name(s)")
dir.mkdir("")

The example above tests that QDir.mkdir() outputs the right warning when invoked with an invalid file name.

Parameters:
static PySide.QtTest.QTest.qWaitForWindowShown(window)
Parameters:window – PySide.QtGui.QWidget
Return type:PySide.QtCore.bool

Waits until the window is shown in the screen. This is mainly useful for asynchronous systems like X11, where a window will be mapped to screen some time after being asked to show itself on the screen. Returns true.

Example:

widget = QWidget()
widget.show()
QTest.qWaitForWindowShown(widget)
static PySide.QtTest.QTest.sendKeyEvent(action, widget, code, ascii, modifier[, delay=-1])
Parameters:
static PySide.QtTest.QTest.sendKeyEvent(action, widget, code, text, modifier[, delay=-1])
Parameters:
static PySide.QtTest.QTest.setBenchmarkResult(result, metric)
Parameters:

Sets the benchmark result for this test function to result .

Use this function if you want to report benchmark results without using the QBENCHMARK macro. Use metric to specify how QTestLib should interpret the results.

The context for the result will be the test function name and any data tag from the _data function. This function can only be called once in each test function, subsequent calls will replace the earlier reported results.

Note that the -iterations command line argument has no effect on test functions without the QBENCHMARK macro.
