Running duration test/long term test/repetiting same test in qtuitestrunner

mhzaman77

Hi,
I have my simple qtscript file as follows:
@
testcase = {
testFunction1: function() {
startApplication("<path to qml viewer>", ["<path to test.qml>"]);
var close = findWidget( {qmlType: "Rectangle"} );
mouseClick(close);
verify(getLabels().contains("Hello World!"));
}
@
I want to repeat this for 10 times (i.e. opening this application, checking and verifying). when I do this like below
@
testcase = {
for (var i=0; i<10; i++){
testFunction1: function() {
startApplication("<path to qml viewer>", ["<path to test.qml>"]);
var close = findWidget( {qmlType: "Rectangle"} );
mouseClick(close);
verify(getLabels().contains("Hello World!"));
}
}
@
and running this with qtuitestrunner gives an error note
QtUiTest: couldn't listen for connections on 5156 : "The bound address is already in use" started : false
is there any way to solve this problem....
or to define this in the script file so that the whole thing will be repeated many times.

Thanks!

Hi mhzaman77, please use tag @ in your post code.
Thank's.

Put some wait in the loop and check if it helps.

Hi,
tag is used.

no, putting wait does not help.

Where did you put the wait and try. Also if I am understanding it right . You are facing problem when adding the loop part of the code otherwise it works properly.

Hi,
Thanks for the quick response. I put the loop after one instant is finished and before starting the 2nd instant as shown below:

@
testcase = {
for (var i=0; i<10; i++){
testFunction1: function() {
wait (5000);
startApplication("<path to qml viewer>", ["<path to test.qml>"]);
var close = findWidget( {qmlType: "Rectangle"} );
mouseClick(close);
verify(getLabels().contains("Hello World!"));
wait (5000);
}
}

still it is the same. Can u please correct me....
Yes, in general works fine when there is no loop introduced.

To me it seems like something is not closed properly. Check once you start qmlviewer it is closed properly before starting it again in the loop.

mhzaman77

Hi,
yes, without putting the loop - qmlviewer process is closed.

Having the loop - I was thinking once the application is opened, then checking and after verification if there is some command to close the application which might help before initiating the next loop. - so far no clue....

Hi,
guessing if there is any cleanup function to be used and how to...

That's why I wanted to check if putting some wait helped and provided enough time to close the application. Any clue why with loop it didnt close

Hi Zaman,

You have put the for loop outside the test function definition. If you put it inside testFunction1, does it work?

I tried the following, which is similar to what I think you’re trying to do, and it works OK. This uses the photoviewer demo (note, the QTDIR and QT_SRC environment variables need to be set for this to run).

@testcase = {
photoviewer: function() {
for (var i=0; i<10; i++) {
startApplication("$QTDIR/bin/qmlviewer", ["$QT_SRC/demos/declarative/photoviewer/photoviewer.qml"]);
mouseClick("Quit");
}
}
}@

Cheers,
David

Hi David,

Thanks for the hints.

For this specific photoviewer application there is a quit button which closes the application before it enters into the for loop for the 2nd instance. And it works fine.

Now if you comment (//mouseClick ("Quit") - looping the appl. does not work. Gives an error note:
QDEBUG : test::photoviewer(...) QtUiTest: couldn't listen for connections on 5656 : "The bound address is already in use" started : false

for my application also it shows animated 'Hello world' text. After having a mouse click it changes the position. In test script after the application is opened - I guess I need to close this instant of appl. run before it goes for 2nd instant. i.e.
@
testcase = {
testFunction1: function() {
for (var i=0; i<10; i++){
startApplication("<path to qml viewer>", ["<path to test.qml>"]);
var close = findWidget( {qmlType: "Rectangle"} );
mouseClick(close);
verify(getLabels().contains("Hello World!"));
wait (5000);
// I guess I need to use some command/api to close the current run of the application before it enters into the loop for 2nd run
}
}
}
@

Many Thanks.

Hi David,
one update:
also the way tried as shown below does not work:
@
testcase = {
photoviewer: function() {
for (var i=0; i<3; i++) {
startApplication("qmlviewer", ["photoviewer.qml"]);
wait(1000);
enter("Brisbane", "Prague");
select("Add");
wait(1000);
enter("Oslo", findByProperty({ text: "" }));
select("Edit");
wait(1000);
var removeButton = findByProperty({ label: "Remove" });
for (var i=0; i<4; ++i) {
select(removeButton[i]);
}

mouseClick("Quit");
}

}
}

Thanks.

I was able to reproduce the problem, and I'll take a look at how to fix it. In the meantime, it is possible to use the test data mechanism to repeatedly run a test function.

The test data for each test function is just a JavaScript object, so it can be set using code. For example, this runs the photoviewer test function 20 times:

@testcase = {
photoviewer_data: {},

photoviewer: function() {
    startApplication("$QTDIR/bin/qmlviewer", ["$QT_SRC/demos/declarative/photoviewer/photoviewer.qml"]);
    print(getLabels());
}

}

for (var i=0; i<20; i++) {
eval("testcase.photoviewer_data.run" + i + " = []");
}@

Hope this helps!
David

Hi David,

That`s great. Yes, test data mechanism works fine.
