[Qt-interest] QTest Lib: pass a cmd argument to a test function

[Sarvesh Saran]

Hi,

I see. Well I am not really testing my application but what I really want to do is to automate certain events..

The idea is to feed input to my GUI application ( the input here is a file name which is generated dynamically by another script), click on certain buttons or actions and "operate" the GUI app. But I would like to do this automatically and was hoping to do so through the Test Lib.

Is there any other way I can achieve this?  ( in this case the GUI app is a part of a test harness script and prepares certain reports/graphs from the input file..I would like to automate the report generation process)

Thanks,
Sarvesh

That is not possible. Use _data functions and QFETCH.

See http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qtest.html#QFETCH.

Also, your main function should be:

QTEST_MAIN(MyTest)
