Qt for Python (PySide/Shiboken)

I've previously talked about what could/should be in the doc. A main issue for me was testing. Please let me share my experience about it. - I 'm only talking about the qml side for a pyside user. python testing is very simple and pytest-qt great - QtTest is very good but the doc is not clear (example are two simple). It needs a complex example on how to write tst_files (but it's more qt.io than pyside problem). - about the issue to run the tests. I tested qmltestrunner and running tests with C++. They are not equivalent. some tests are passing with c++ but not with qmltestrunner. - So I've chosen to use C++: It's very simple. I have no knowledge in c++.it only needs 2 files: qml_tests.pro CONFIG += warn_on qmltestcase TEMPLATE = app SOURCES += \ main.cpp RESOURCES += \ ../../src/main/resources/qml.qrcand the c++ main.cpp : #include <QtQuickTest/quicktest.h> QUICK_TEST_MAIN(example) - Then it needs qmake but as python user pip is your friends : pip install aqtinstall. It's a wrapper to install qt with python. - install qt: `aqt install 5.14.0 linux desktop --outputdir Qt - then configure test : Qt/5.14.0/gcc_64/bin/qmake -o Makefile qml_tests.pro -spec linux-g++ CONFIG+=debug CONFIG+=qml_debug make -C target/qml_tests- run the tests: ./target/qml_tests/qml_tests And that's it !!! I put all these commands in a Makefile next to install, dev, run_pytest... and it works like a charm.
