QtQuickTest: add custom C++ objects

[Korchkidu]

Hi,

in my application, I register custom C++ objects that I use in the GUI afterwards. I would like to unit test my application with QtQuickTest. However, the C++ objects are not found. So how can I register them so that I can use them when unit testing my app with QtQuickTest?¨

Thanks for any help.
Best regards.

Have you read the follwing link:

Hi,

thanks for the link. It seems to be deprecated however. Also, I am more interested in QtQuickTest framework specifically, not QtQuick in general. Adding custom C++ objects to my QML application already works. But not with QtQuickTest unfortunately.

Hi
I know that this link is old. But it hasn't changed in QtQuick 2. The principal is the same.

Here the up to date link.
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtqml-cppintegration-topic.html

Now choose the link, Embedding C++ Object in QML.
http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qtqml-cppintegration-contextproperties.html

When you register you C++ Object with QmlContext::setContextProperty
then you should also be able to access your C++ object in QML.

If this approach doesn't work, post a code example to analyse where the problem might be.

Best regards
