deactivate a test method in Cmd mode

[bernd]

I have some unit test method setup which does some ViewProvider test. This method should only run in Gui mode. At the moment I do:

Code: Select all

def test_some_viewprovider(self):
    if FreeCAD.GuiUp:
        100 lines of code

is there some some smarter way without indent?

Ha found it myself, sorry for the noise ...

Code: Select all

def test_some_viewprovider(self):
    if not FreeCAD.GuiUp:
        return
        
    100 lines of code

Code: Select all

    if not FreeCAD.GuiUp:
        return

Personally, I would add a message saying that the test could not be performed because the interface does not exist, and thus it will automatically pass. Then the reader will at least know that the test was attempted.

A better way to handle this would be to move this test to a separate collection of tests, which all require or expect the graphical interface.

All workbenches have an Init.py and InitGui.py. So, the unit tests that don't require the graphical interface can be added to Init.py, and those that require it, should be added to InitGui.py. Then they will only run when the graphical interface exist.

Code: Select all

freecadcmd -t 0  # Runs only the unit tests in Init.py
freecad -t 0     # Runs all unit tests in Init.py and InitGui.py

This is what we did in Draft. In the past, all unit tests were defined in TestDraft.py which was called from InitGui.py. But essentially none of them required the GUI, so we created two sets, TestDraft.py and TestDraftGui.py. The first, with the majority of tests, is initialized from Init.py, and only a few in InitGui.py.

This is one way to do it. Another is to move tests concerning the GUI to a separate file (e.g. FemTestsGui.py) and then add a line like this to your InitGui.py

Code: Select all

FreeCAD.__unit_test__ += [ "FemTestsGui" ]

thanks guys for the hints.
