PR #4844 moves troublesome unit tests to the attic

[Edward K. Ream]

PR #4844 moves the unit tests for the todo.py plugin to the attic. These tests may intermittently cause segfaults on Linux and less harmful messages on Windows. I have decided to retire these tests permanently.

Please continue to test Leo's "devel" branch. I am especially interested in any remaining problems that relate to QBasicTimer.

Thanks.

I did perform the usual tests again on Debian 13 & Fedora 44.

In both cases there are no longer any messages related to QBasicTimer or Qt in general.

In both cases 'mypy_leo' still reports one error. - I'm attaching the log for Fedora 44:

    ...

    OK (skipped=3)
    mypy_leo.py
    leo/plugins/todo.py:544: error: Incompatible default for argument "prog" (default has type "int | str", argument has type "int")  [assignment]
    Found 1 error in 1 file (checked 258 source files)
    ruff_leo.py

    ...

Thanks for your testing!

I continue to see occational messages about QBasicTimer. I shall soon eliminate all tests that run with the Qt gui. I'll say more in the PR when I create it.

Thanks for this. I'll look into it. I'm likely to move todo.py to the attic.

PR #4842 contains a prototypes of a much better way to add or delete icons.

Onward!

PR #4845 (in progress) should completely eliminate those messages.
