General Info
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
This README describes how to use the various test programs
|
|
in the gail/tests directory.
|
|
|
|
To run the various test programs described in this README,
|
|
the test libraries must be built and installed. Running
|
|
"make", then "make install" in the gail top-level directory
|
|
will take care of this. Then do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Set the environment variable GTK_MODULES to
|
|
"libgail:lib<testname>"
|
|
|
|
For example, for ferret, it would be "libgail:libferret"
|
|
|
|
2. Run the GTK+ test program specified. These test programs
|
|
are found in the GTK+ build directory in the subdirectory
|
|
called "tests".
|
|
|
|
Most test programs will display output directly to the
|
|
terminal window where the GTK+ test program was launched.
|
|
Some test programs (testtable and testtext) will launch a
|
|
test GUI program which allows more interactive testing.
|
|
|
|
The test GUI has two windows. The first window is the
|
|
"Test Control" window and the second window is the
|
|
"Test Output" window. In the "Test Control" window,
|
|
press the button(s) that corresponds to the tests to run
|
|
and press the "Run Tests" button at the bottom of the
|
|
screen. Some tests have associated text entry fields
|
|
which become active when the button is toggled on. These
|
|
text entry fields correspond to arguments that affect how
|
|
the test is executed. They are pre-filled with default
|
|
values but the user can change them if desired. The
|
|
output from the tests is displayed in the "Test Output"
|
|
window.
|
|
|
|
|
|
testlib
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Contains general purpose functionality that is used by the
|
|
various tests. These include functions that find a specific
|
|
widget/AtkObject in the test program, and functions used by
|
|
tests that use the Gail Test GUI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ferret
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Ferret is a passive in-process test tool for ATK and GAIL.
|
|
|
|
Run a GTK+-2.0 application such as "testgtk", and ferret will
|
|
display a window on screen. In this window accessibility
|
|
information about the GTK+ widgets will appear as they
|
|
receive focus.
|
|
|
|
The ferret window has several tabs, one for each of the
|
|
following ATK interfaces.
|
|
|
|
Object
|
|
Action
|
|
Component
|
|
Image
|
|
Table
|
|
Text
|
|
Value
|
|
|
|
Tabs that do not apply to the current widget in focus will be
|
|
displayed as inactive. Clicking on an active tab will display
|
|
information about the AtkObject accessed via the ATK API. In the
|
|
Action tab the various actions are displayed as buttons. When
|
|
a button is clicked, the action specified on the button's
|
|
label is performed.
|
|
|
|
If you have installed the "festival" speech synthesis system,
|
|
running festival in server mode (festival --server) and turning
|
|
on Ferret's Festival support will cause the following to happen:
|
|
|
|
1. AtkObject accessible names, roles, and keybindings will be
|
|
spoken as they receive focus.
|
|
2. When the caret (cursor) is moved in a text field, the
|
|
current line will be spoken, unless the caret is moved
|
|
just a single character. In the later case, only the
|
|
single character after the caret will be spoken.
|
|
|
|
Festival support can be turned on by checking "Festival" in the
|
|
menu, or by setting the environment variable FERRET_FESTIVAL
|
|
prior to starting the test. By checking "Festival Terse" or
|
|
by setting the environment variable FERRET_TERSE, only the
|
|
name of the AtkObject will be spoken (and not the roles and
|
|
keybindings).
|
|
|
|
A magnifier can be turned on to enlarge the widget in focus
|
|
by checking "Magnifier" in the menu, or by setting the
|
|
environment variable FERRET_MAGNIFIER. This requires that
|
|
the magnifier standalone code is running.
|
|
|
|
Checking "Track Mouse in the menu or by setting the environment
|
|
variable FERRET_MOUSETRACK causes ferret to display information
|
|
about the widget that is under the mouse rather than the widget
|
|
that has focus. The mouse is tracked via GtkWidget
|
|
"enter_notify_event" signals, so flyweight objects are not tracked.
|
|
|
|
Checking "Terminal Output" in the menu or by setting the
|
|
environment variable FERRET_ASCII will display the information
|
|
that is normally displayed to the ferret GUI window to the
|
|
terminal screen.
|
|
|
|
Checking "No ATK Signals" in the menu or by setting the
|
|
environment variable FERRET_NOSIGNALS will cause ferret to
|
|
ignore any ATK signals, and it will not update its display
|
|
when such signals occur.

the GTK+ test program testtext started with a text file loaded.
|
|
It can also be used with the GTK+ test program testgtk, and then
|
|
click on the "entry" or "label" button.
|
|
|
|
Set the TEST_ACCESSIBLE_NAME environment variable to have the test
|
|
driver attach to a widget by widget name (compared via the
|
|
gtk_widget_get_name function call).

|
atk_get_root() toplevel object, sets/removes global listeners,
|
|
and displays the ATK implementation name/version.
|
|
|
|
Set the TEST_ACCESSIBLE_DEPTH environment variable to control
|
|
how deep the children of the toplevel object are displayed.
|
|
The default is a depth of 2. Specifying a depth of -1 will
|
|
show the complete hierarchy.
