Thanks I didn’t realize any of this since the TestCase docs[0] don’t refer to the “Qt Quick Test Reference” docs[1]. Which I would suggest is probably a documentation bug?

I’ve been able to get the simplest case of this working (despite the docs being very abstract), but I think I’m seeing a bug when used in my project.  Can someone please confirm it isn't user error before I log the bug?

In my environment I have source and tests separated into `src/qml`, and  `specs/qml` respectively.

Regardless if I use the qmltestrunner or a QUICK_TEST_MAIN macro I’m unable to include components from the src/qml path, so unless the tst_*.qml file is actually present in that path no components are loaded. This is true whether I invoke the item with a bare reference, or with `Qt.createComponent()`.

I’ve tried using the -import command line option as documented, with all variations on absolute and relative paths to the `src/qml` path.  I’ve also tried `IMPORTPATH`, `INCLUDEPATH`, and `QUICK_TEST_SOURCE_DIR` in the test .pro file.

Production qml files are simply not accessible by tests unless I contaminate the src folder with all the tst_*.qml files (which is a non-starter on this large of a project).

Thanks,
j
