[Qt-creator] plugin_qtestlib - Entry 254483 in Task Tracker

[Bravo.Alex]

Clicking on failures is probably the main reason to integrate QTestLib with the IDE.

Filtering different types of test results and generating a stub implementation for a tested class would be other features of this plugin.

There's Entry 254483 in Task Tracker that mentions this feature. It doesn't have neither priority nor scheduling assigned though...

I like the idea of a dedicated QTest output pane - will you be able to double-click on failures to jump directly to the code?  That would be brilliant.

If you are talking about QtCreator at Nokia team, it makes a lot of sense.

But that's why you guys opened development to outside world, right?

So that we can help you improve already great product.





So, back to qtestlibplugin:

After bringing it back from the dead, I realized that the architecture of this plugin might need adjustment:

Right now it has its own type of output "Test Results" (just like "Build Issues", "Application Output" and 2 more).

But, as this picture shows, there's not much space for different types of output:

Besides it doesn't make much sense to "pollute" IDE's screen with "Test Results" button and list entry

for applications that have nothing to do with QTestLib.



It looks like there should be as little presence for this plugin as possible in the IDE's GUI.

Ideally, this plugin should show itself only if output of a program is in QTestLib format.



Thus this plugin really provides a different format of "Application Output", not a different output pane.



So proposed adjustment to this plugin is to be able to have several formats of "Application Output".

By default it's "raw" output, with the ability to switch to a different format.

In case of qtestlibplugin it can be "test results" and "benchmark results" formats.

Other plugins could have/add their own formats.



What do you guys think?

I suppose it's b) and c). Plus that it's not so high in the list of

things to do.

The only "maybe" still useful parts of the code in the plugin is

probably the interaction/parsing of the QTestLib output.
