qt support in Robotframework

[prasha...@gmail.com]

Hi all,

We are developing a QT based application which will be a platform independent. Wanted to check, if Robot framework supports QT based windows application via AutoIt plug in? I tried Autoit spy on the qt application but I couldn't get any supported methods on QWidgets.

So, any help or info in this regard is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Prashant

Try Sikuli? I believe there are a few Sikuli based test library projects for Robot Framework. I have one you can try

https://code.google.com/p/simplesikuli/

Obviously one might want to use image recognition based automation as a last resort though.

Might also want to look at other automation tools rather than AutoIt like the White GUI automation framework based on .NET/Windows accessibility.

I don't think there's a working White library for Robot Framework yet though.

While something like AutoIt of Sikuli may work - your best option would be to add an interface to QObject to allow you to interfere with its derived objects from outside the application, using something like RPC - you can then create an interface library for robotframework, which would allow you to trigger events such as button clicks, and monitor events such as widget updates.

This takes a bit more setup than using something off the shelf, but will give you a far more robust platform for running your tests - not to mention that AutoIt is Windows only AFAIK, and while Sikuli seems like a good idea, it is often a bit more hassle than it is worth to get something reliable.

Let me know if you'd like any advice on getting this sort of thing set up, as I am currently doing something similar for Unity3d.

Ugh

I think it depends what kind of qt application you are having. Not so long time ago, I reviewed​ a pull request[1] for Selenium2Library to better support qt applications.

If QtWebdriver is not part of your application, then also ImageHorizonLibrary​ could be one option.
