    Default Catching all Signals from widget in QTest

    Hi!

    I need to catch all signals emitted from a widget using QSignalSpy (or something else), is there a way to do that? It can by only number of those signals without any other info.

    You can list all signals of a type by iterating over the methods of its QMetaObject and checking for QMetaMethods for signals.

    You could then create a list of signal spys, each connected to one signal, or connect all signals to a custom slot in a receiver object.

    Cheers,

    If somebody want to know how to do that I paste my code.

    Qt Code:
    1. #include <QSignalSpy>
    2.  
    3. class QAllSignalSpy : public QList<QSignalSpy*>
    4. {
    5.  
    6. public:
    7. explicit QAllSignalSpy(QObject *parent){
    8. QObject *object = parent;
    9. const QMetaObject *me = object->metaObject();
    10. int metaCount = me->methodCount();
    11. for(int i = 0;i<metaCount;i++){
    12. QMetaMethod mm = me->method(i);
    13. if (mm.methodType() == QMetaMethod::Signal){
    14. QString method = QString::number(2)+ mm.methodSignature().constData();
    15. this->append( new QSignalSpy(object, method.toLatin1().constData() ) );
    16. }
    17. }
    18. }
    19.  
    20. int signalCount(){
    21. int all = 0;
    22. for(int i=0;i<this->size(); i++)
    23. all += this->at(i)->count();
    24. return all;
    25. }
    26. };

    I have just published a tiny header-only library which does exactly this: QSignalInspector
