Check button's states on Proteus tests

[Javier Uribe]

I'd like to know if there is a way of checking the button's states on a Proteus test. For example, I'd like to test if a button is invisible.

Button definitions are not fetched on proteus. That's because buttons
are linked to views and proteus does not understand views as you have
access to the full model definition.

It's a pity but good to know. Thanks for the info.

Indeed it will be good to know what's your use case and why you need to
test the buttons states.

Giving a little bit of context on what you are trying to achieve will help.

But you could call fields_view_get and evaluate the pyson statement.

That'd be great. So, can I call that method on Proteus tests? Then I could test Pyson statements and it'd be very useful.

Yes you can call from proteus any RPC method, you just have to append
at the end the context dictionary.
proteus embed a pyson library so you should be able to evaluate the
expression with the _EvalEnvironment.
But it is probably cumbersome to test PYSON statement as they should be
quiet simple. There are more chance to have bugs in your testing code
then in the PYSON statement, so does it still deserve a test?

Thank you so much and in this particular case it deserves it because it was a tricky pyson statement with Morgan's laws applied.

Then you should probably move the computation into a Function field
which will be much more easier to test.
