Qt testlib

[ODБOï]

Hi,
I'm trying to write a test for a simple project following this tutorial : http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qttestlib-tutorial1-example.html

this i my .pro , so i'm testing simplebackend and the tester class is test_simeplebackend in folder Tests

QT += quick testlib
CONFIG += c++11
QT += opcua
QT += network

DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

SOURCES += main.cpp \
    simplebackend.cpp \
    Tests/test_simeplebackend.cpp

RESOURCES += qml.qrc

# Additional import path used to resolve QML modules in Qt Creator's code model
QML_IMPORT_PATH =

# Additional import path used to resolve QML modules just for Qt Quick Designer
QML_DESIGNER_IMPORT_PATH =

# Default rules for deployment.
qnx: target.path = /tmp/$${TARGET}/bin
else: unix:!android: target.path = /opt/$${TARGET}/bin
!isEmpty(target.path): INSTALLS += target

HEADERS += \
    simplebackend.h \
    Tests/test_simeplebackend.h

This is the output i have when i do :

/myTestDirectory$ qmake -project "QT += testlib"
/myTestDirectory$ qmake
/myTestDirectory$ mingw32-make

Output :

c:\Users\lev\Documents\QIHM\Tests>mingw32-make
mingw32-make -f Makefile.Release
mingw32-make[1]: Entering directory 'C:/Users/lev/Documents/QIHM/Tests'
mingw32-make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'release/test_simeplebackend.moc', needed by 'release/test_simeplebackend.o'.  Stop.
mingw32-make[1]: Leaving directory 'C:/Users/lev/Documents/QIHM/Tests'
Makefile:36: recipe for target 'release' failed
mingw32-make: *** [release] Error 2

I can't figure out what i'm doing wrong.
test_simeplebackend.moc should be automatically generated right ?

Thanks

this is the .pro that is automatically generated in Tests directory

QT += testlib
TEMPLATE = app
TARGET = Tests
INCLUDEPATH += .

DEFINES += QT_DEPRECATED_WARNINGS

HEADERS += test_simeplebackend.h ../simplebackend.h
SOURCES += test_simeplebackend.cpp ../simplebackend.cpp

Hi,

I would recommend to switch to the subdirs template and properly separate the projects.

This will allow to have a cleaner and easier to maintain structure.

hi @SGaist
Thx fo the advise, however i don't know how to do that.

Where to put the Tests folder ? I thought it was normal to put it inside the project i wanted to test

i will do this : http://xilexio.org/?p=125

@LeLev you may want to take a look at, for instance, Qt MQTT module and how things are arranged there.

examples
qtmqtt.pro
src
sync.profile
tests
    |-README.txt
    |-auto
    |-benchmarks
    |-common
    |-tests.pro

and tests.pro is like this:

TEMPLATE = subdirs
SUBDIRS += auto
contains(QT_CONFIG, release): SUBDIRS += benchmarks

@Pablo-J.-Rogina thx for the suggestion, i will definitely take a look at this exemple.

The link i pasted http://xilexio.org/?p=125 is also (for me) very interesting, i organised my app following the concepts described there.
