How to edit wxTextCtrl with wxUIActionSimulator

Post by matya »

Hi, I learned "how to put controls in tests" from this post.
viewtopic.php?f=1&t=49662

But I'm getting stuck in text editing with the simulator now.

Here is an example.

Code: Select all

// main.cpp
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
#include "wx/wx.h"
#include "wx/app.h"
#include "wx/uiaction.h"

class MyApp: public wxApp{
 public:
    wxFrame* m_frame;
    bool OnInit() {
        m_frame = new wxFrame(nullptr, wxID_ANY, "test");
        m_frame->Show();
        return true;
    }
};

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    ::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
    MyApp* app = new MyApp();
    wxEntryStart(argc, argv);
    app->OnInit();
    return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}

TEST(SomeTests, test1) {
    wxTextCtrl* text = new wxTextCtrl(wxTheApp->GetTopWindow(), wxID_ANY);
    text->SetFocus();
    wxUIActionSimulator sim;
    sim.Text("test");
    wxYield();
    EXPECT_STREQ("test", text->GetValue());
}
I thought it'll work, but it says

Code: Select all

error: Expected equality of these values:
  "test"
  text->GetValue()
    Which is: ""
What am I missing?
How can I edit wxTextCtrl with the simulator?

I'm using Windows10, MSVC 19.31, and wxWidgets 3.1.5.
Thanks in advance.

I've never used wxUIActionSimulator , but maybe you need another wxYield() after SetFocus().
Use the source, Luke!

Thanks for the comment, but it can't be.

There are some tests in the source code, but they won't use wxYield() after SetFocus().

I tried the same code as this post, but it didn't work.
viewtopic.php?t=44878

Here is the code.

Code: Select all

// main.cpp
#include <gtest/gtest.h>
#include "wx/wx.h"
#include "wx/app.h"
#include "wx/uiaction.h"

class TestFrame : public wxFrame 
{ 
    wxTextCtrl *textIn; 
    wxButton *button; 
    wxTextCtrl *textOut; 

    FRIEND_TEST(GuiTest, CopyTest); 

    public: 

        TestFrame() : wxFrame(NULL, wxID_ANY, "wxUnitTest", wxPoint(50, 50), wxSize(450, 340)) 
        { 
            textIn = new wxTextCtrl(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 0); 
            button = new wxButton(this, wxID_ANY, wxT(" => "), wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 0); 
            button->Bind(wxEVT_COMMAND_BUTTON_CLICKED, &TestFrame::OnButton, this); 
            textOut = new wxTextCtrl(this, wxID_ANY, wxEmptyString, wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 0); 
            wxBoxSizer *boxSizer = new wxBoxSizer(wxHORIZONTAL); boxSizer->Add(textIn, 1, wxALL, 5); 
            boxSizer->Add(button, 0, wxALL, 5); boxSizer->Add(textOut, 1, wxALL, 5); 
            this->SetSizer(boxSizer); this->Layout(); this->Centre(wxBOTH); } 

        void OnButton(wxCommandEvent &WXUNUSED(event)) { this->textOut->SetValue(this->textIn->GetValue()); } 
}; 

class TestApp : public wxApp 
{ 
    public: TestFrame *frame; virtual bool OnInit() 
    { 
        frame = new TestFrame(); 
        frame->Show(true); 
        return true; 
    } 
};

class GuiTest : public testing::Test 
{
    protected: 
        TestApp *app; 
        virtual void SetUp() 
        { 
            char appname[] = "wxUnitTest.exe"; 
            int argc = 1; 
            char *argv[1] = { appname }; 
            app = new TestApp(); 
            wxApp::SetInstance(app); 
            wxEntryStart(argc, argv); 
            app->OnInit(); 
        } 

        virtual void TearDown() 
        { 
            //wxTheApp->OnRun(); 
            app->OnExit(); 
            wxEntryCleanup(); 
        } 
};

TEST_F(GuiTest, CopyTest) 
{ 
    wxUIActionSimulator acts; 
    app->frame->textIn->SetFocus(); 
    wxYield(); 
    acts.Text("Text"); 
    wxYield(); 
    app->frame->button->SetFocus(); 
    wxYield(); 
    acts.Char(WXK_RETURN);
    //acts.Char(WXK_SPACE); the result won't change even if I use WXK_SPACE.
    wxYield(); 
    EXPECT_STREQ("Text",app->frame->textOut->GetValue());

}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{   
    ::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
    return RUN_ALL_TESTS();  
}
It still says the text box is empty.

I tried the same code on Ubuntu 20.04 with GCC9.4, and macOS 10.12 with AppleClang 9.0.
But they raised the same errors as Windows.

Hi,
Can you run wxwidgets test code? Does it succeed for you?
Thank you.

Are you sure you are initializing the wxApp instance correctly, i.e., is the event loop running?

No, it failed for tons of tests.
So, am I missing something about building?

Here is the commands I executed.

Code: Select all

curl -OL https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.5/wxWidgets-3.1.5.zip
powershell Expand-Archive -Path wxWidgets-3.1.5.zip

cd C:/wxWidgets-3.1.5
mkdir TestBuild
cd TestBuild

cmake -G "Visual Studio 17 2022"^
 -A x64^
 -D CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES=Debug^
 -D wxBUILD_TESTS=ALL^
 ../

cmake --build . --config Debug
ctest --verbose -C Debug
And here is the output from tests.

I also tested on Ubuntu 20.04 but it failed.

Here are the commands I executed.

Code: Select all

cd ~/

wget https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/download/v3.1.5/wxWidgets-3.1.5.tar.bz2
tar -xvjof wxWidgets-3.1.5.tar.bz2

cd wxWidgets-3.1.5

mkdir TestBuild
cd TestBuild

../configure --enable-debug --disable-shared
make -j$(nproc)

cd tests
make test_gui
./test_gui
and here is the result.
