mock qml import

Jim Gir

Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to mock qml import.

In a qml file I have this:
import Operations 1.0

This package is regstered in code like it :
qmlRegisterType(AdditionModel, "Operations", 1, 0, "AdditionModel")

AdditionModel is QAbstractModel but written in python and it works well.

The thing is about testing. There is no python testrunner so I have to run qml tests via C++ but then I'cant register my custom type in tests.
So I would need to mock this package Operations 1.0 in tests but I don't know how I can achieve this. A mock library in qml ? create a operation qml package in tests (I tried but failed this one) ? other ?

Thank for help

Jimmy

Hi,

What about pytest-qt ?

Jim Gir

Yes pytest-pyqt is great for the python part, but it doesn"t handle qml.
QML is very good supported in pyside2, only some few features are missing. Sadly the testrunner is one them.
I can mock many things in qml which make it testable anyway but I'm stuck on mocking the import Operation 1.0

Can you show how you are doing the mocking in C++ ?

Jim Gir

That's the thing, I'cant :-) I have no knowledge in c++.

to run my tests I just copy pasted some things I found/utogenerated by qt creator

//main.cpp
#include <QtQuickTest/quicktest.h>
QUICK_TEST_MAIN(qmltests)

//qml_tests.pro
CONFIG += warn_on qml_debug  qmltestcase

TEMPLATE = app

SOURCES += \
    main.cpp

RESOURCES += \
    ../../src/qml.qrc

And and I run my tests with it and it works.
Here is a log of the tests :

I can't import a file in tests where import Operations 1.0 stands.

Take a look at the Executing C++ Before QML Tests part of the QtQuick Test documentation. I think that is what you are looking for.
