TESTING WIDGETS DEFINED IN *.UI FILES (SCREENSHOT COMPARISON)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This test is based on dev/qt/tests/auto/atwrapper/
HOW TO RUN THE TESTS
Compile the necessary programs:
qmake
make
Now there should be an executable 'uiloader'.
Run the tests:
./uiloader
CONFIGURATION
The tests can be executed on different machines. For every machine there
is a config file <hostname>.ini.
If this file is not available the tests won't be run on the machine.
Example kayak.ini:
[General]
ftpBaseDir=/arthurtest
ftpHost=wartburg
ftpPass=anonymouspass
ftpUser=anonymous
output=testresults
[engines]
1\engine=uic
size=1
Don't modify the [engines] section. Later it will be used for styles. The
only thing you might want to modify is the ftpHost value. At the moment
wartburg is just a server on which we test the tests.
The actual test server is: kramer.troll.no
HOW IT WORKS
There are 3 important folders:
tst_uiloader/ Actual program executing the tests.
tst_screenshot/ Program to generate one *.png file out of *.ui
baseline/ This is a dir with *.ui files.
./uiloader (compiled from tst_uiloader) will use the tst_screenshot program
and the files in baseline/.
In order to generate screenshots the *.ui files in baseline/ will be used.
Therefore a folder testresults/ (specified in the config) will be
created/used.
Structure of testresults/:
|-- testresults
| `-- i686 Linux g++-4 full-config That's buildKey().
| `-- 4.5.0 Used Qt version.
| |-- uic Here are the generated images.
| |-- uic.baseline Baseline downloaded from server.
| |-- uic.diff Diff Images of failed tests.
| `-- uic.failed Generated images of failed tests.
If there is no baseline at the server the results in uic/ will be uploaded
as a new baseline (first run for your machine). So to create a new baseline
on the server you just need to remove your folders there.
On the server side there is a dir /arthurtest with following structure
(it will be created if it's not there):
|-- arthurtest
| `-- <your machines hostname>
| `-- <buildKey()>
| `-- <qt version>
| |-- uic.baseline Baseline.
| |-- uic.diff Here the local diffs will be uploaded.
| `-- uic.failed Here the local failed files will be uploaded.
After a test run the files in local uic.diff/ and uic.failed/ will be
uploaded to the server.
For every run the uic.diff/ and uic.failed/ on the local and remote machine
will be cleared in order to place new files there. On the local side uic/
gets cleared, too.
