Test setup for tests that require events?

[fcarney]

I need to test QNetworkRequest objects, or the usage thereof. I am not sure exactly of what happens under the hood as far as events go.

The questions:
Do I need an event loop to test the networking system?
Is there a test setup for event based testing?

The default test setups seem to be very basic and do not provide event loops, that I can tell. At least in Qt 5.9.7. We are running Qt Creator 4.7.2 if that makes any difference. I originally ran into an issue trying to test QTimer. It would not function in tests with no event loop.

The act of typing the question out helped me know what to do. If I want to test events I should run the event loop myself by calling QCoreApplication::processEvents() in my test. Yes, it was sort of obvious.

Thanks for your help! Hopefully this will help someone else.
