how to test slot using QTest?

[hashb]

Hi All,

I want to test a http application using QTest, my purpose is to
get contents from a url ,and check whether the content is as expected.

the code something like:



class testHttp : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
private slots:
void testGet();
void compareConfig();
private:
CMyhttp *_myhttp;
};

void initTestCase()
{
_myhttp = new CMyhttp ;

}

void testGet()
{
_myhttp->get("some url");
//here I need to wait until the contents returned from web server,
//but it seemed that qtest lib will not wait
connect(_myhttp ,SIGNAL(finished()),this,SLOT(compareConfig()));
}

void compareConfig()
{
QCOMPARE
(
_myhttp.content = "content expected ..."
)
}



Any ideas about it?

Thanks advance for your help.

Best regards,
hb

Take a look at qWait and/or QEventLoop.

Hi Wysota,

Thanks a lot for your reply,
I tried qtest:qwait, but it seemed it does help,
after execute qwait,the network process also blocked.

Do you have the event loop running?

Hi Wysota,

How to running the event loop?

I run the test using



class testHttp : public QObject
{
Q_OBJECT
private slots:
void testGet();
void compareConfig();
private:
CMyhttp *_myhttp;
};

void testHttp::initTestCase()
{
_myhttp = new CMyhttp ;

}

void testHttp::testGet()
{
_myhttp->get("some url");
connect(_myhttp ,SIGNAL(finished()),this,SLOT(compareConfig()));
QTest::qSleep(5000);
}

void testHttp::compareConfig()
{
QCOMPARE
(
_myhttp.content = "content expected ..."
)
}

int main()
{
testHttp ts3;
QTest::qExec(&ts3);
}

In that case you don't have an event loop running and network will not work. You need an application object. Take a look at QTEST_MAIN.

Hi Wysota,

Thank you very much for your help ,it works now!

attach the codes ,hope will help others:

void testDate::testValidity()

h.setHost("webserver");
h.get("url");
QSignalSpy spy(&h, SIGNAL(ok()));
while (spy.count() == 0)
QTest::qWait(200);
QVERIFY( h.data == "expected data" );
}



QTEST_MAIN(testDate)
#include "t.moc"
