Functions

gtk_test_find_label ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_test_find_label (GtkWidget *widget,
                     const gchar *label_pattern);

This function will search widget and all its descendants for a GtkLabel widget with a text string matching label_pattern . The label_pattern may contain asterisks “*” and question marks “?” as placeholders, g_pattern_match() is used for the matching. Note that locales other than "C“ tend to alter (translate” label strings, so this function is genrally only useful in test programs with predetermined locales, see gtk_test_init() for more details.

Parameters

widget

Valid label or container widget.

 

label_pattern

Shell-glob pattern to match a label string.

 

Returns

a GtkLabel widget if any is found.

gtk_test_find_sibling ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_test_find_sibling (GtkWidget *base_widget,
                       GType widget_type);

This function will search siblings of base_widget and siblings of its ancestors for all widgets matching widget_type . Of the matching widgets, the one that is geometrically closest to base_widget will be returned. The general purpose of this function is to find the most likely “action” widget, relative to another labeling widget. Such as finding a button or text entry widget, given its corresponding label widget.

Parameters

base_widget

Valid widget, part of a widget hierarchy

 

widget_type

Type of a aearched for sibling widget

 

Returns

a widget of type widget_type if any is found.

gtk_test_find_widget ()

GtkWidget *
gtk_test_find_widget (GtkWidget *widget,
                      const gchar *label_pattern,
                      GType widget_type);

This function will search the descendants of widget for a widget of type widget_type that has a label matching label_pattern next to it. This is most useful for automated GUI testing, e.g. to find the “OK” button in a dialog and synthesize clicks on it. However see gtk_test_find_label(), gtk_test_find_sibling() and gtk_test_widget_click() for possible caveats involving the search of such widgets and synthesizing widget events.

Parameters

widget

Container widget, usually a GtkWindow.

 

label_pattern

Shell-glob pattern to match a label string.

 

widget_type

Type of a aearched for label sibling widget.

 

Returns

a valid widget if any is found or NULL.

gtk_test_init ()

void
gtk_test_init (int *argcp,
               char ***argvp,
               ...);

This function is used to initialize a GTK+ test program.

It will in turn call g_test_init() and gtk_init() to properly initialize the testing framework and graphical toolkit. It’ll also set the program’s locale to “C” and prevent loading of rc files and Gtk+ modules. This is done to make tets program environments as deterministic as possible.

Like gtk_init() and g_test_init(), any known arguments will be processed and stripped from argc and argv .

Parameters

argcp

Address of the argc parameter of the main() function. Changed if any arguments were handled.

 

argvp

Address of the argv parameter of main(). Any parameters understood by g_test_init() or gtk_init() are stripped before return.

[inout][array length=argcp]

gtk_test_list_all_types ()

const GType *
gtk_test_list_all_types (guint *n_types);

Return the type ids that have been registered after calling gtk_test_register_all_types().

Parameters

n_types

location to store number of types

 

Returns

0-terminated array of type ids.

gtk_test_register_all_types ()

void
gtk_test_register_all_types (void);

Force registration of all core Gtk+ and Gdk object types. This allowes to refer to any of those object types via g_type_from_name() after calling this function.

Since: 2.14


gtk_test_widget_send_key ()

gboolean
gtk_test_widget_send_key (GtkWidget *widget,
                          guint keyval,
                          GdkModifierType modifiers);

This function will generate keyboard press and release events in the middle of the first GdkWindow found that belongs to widget . For windowless widgets like GtkButton (which returns FALSE from gtk_widget_get_has_window()), this will often be an input-only event window. For other widgets, this is usually widget->window. Certain caveats should be considered when using this function, in particular because the mouse pointer is warped to the key press location, see gdk_test_simulate_key() for details.

Parameters

widget

Widget to generate a key press and release on.

 

keyval

A Gdk keyboard value.

 

modifiers

Keyboard modifiers the event is setup with.

 

Returns

whether all actions neccessary for the key event simulation were carried out successfully.

Since: 2.14


gtk_test_widget_wait_for_draw ()

void
gtk_test_widget_wait_for_draw (GtkWidget *widget);

Enters the main loop and waits for widget to be “drawn”. In this context that means it waits for the frame clock of widget to have run a full styling, layout and drawing cycle.

This function is intended to be used for syncing with actions that depend on widget relayouting or on interaction with the display server.

Parameters

widget

the widget to wait for
