Hi Mark! The main problem with activeqt is that it doesn't have autotests. activeqt relies on a lot of internal/low-level details of the Qt meta-type/object system. We've made big changes to these internals for Qt5 -- but since there are no autotests to verify that activeqt is working as intended, this module has gotten progressively more and more broken without anyone noticing/caring.
So the biggest help would be if someone could suggest or provide some sort of skeleton/stub for an ActiveQt autotest. The test needs to be self-contained; it should just run without having to open Internet Explorer, Qt Designer or whatnot. For the meta-object stuff, I know exactly what must be tested; I just need to get my hands on actual QAxObject (created from a .idl file or something? Never used activeqt...), so that I can introspect it using QMetaObject, QMetaMethod and friends. If you've looked at the activeqt implementation, qaxbase.cpp is the file that has the most low-level, meta-object kernel stuff. In order to have any hope of activeqt being a stable module, as much as possible of that logic should be exercised by autotests. Best regards, Kent ________________________________________ From: ext Mark [[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 22, 2012 5:22 PM To: Hansen Kent (Nokia-MP/Oslo) Subject: Re: Change in qt/qtactiveqt[master]: Port ActiveQt to meta-object revision 7 Test what? I am a serious activeqt user. I'm just trying to figure my way through codereview to see what's going on. I heard a rumor that activeqt wasn't working in 5.0 or something? (I had to hack activeqt to allow my app to run as a COM server and client simultaneously.) How can I help? ~mark c: 469-556-5075 t: [email protected] Kent Hansen (Code Review) wrote: > Kent Hansen has posted comments on this change. > > Change subject: Port ActiveQt to meta-object revision 7 > ...................................................................... > > > Patch Set 3: > > It builds for me, but I need to test this stuff somehow... > > -- > To view, visit http://codereview.qt-project.org/19181 > To unsubscribe, visit http://codereview.qt-project.org/settings > > Gerrit-MessageType: comment > Gerrit-Change-Id: Ia87652ade4a2905d6feecd852403af9a9c705976 > Gerrit-PatchSet: 3 > Gerrit-Project: qt/qtactiveqt > Gerrit-Branch: master > Gerrit-Owner: Kent Hansen<[email protected]> > Gerrit-Reviewer: Friedemann Kleint<[email protected]> > Gerrit-Reviewer: Jędrzej Nowacki<[email protected]> > Gerrit-Reviewer: Kent Hansen<[email protected]> > Gerrit-Reviewer: Qt Sanity Bot<[email protected]> _______________________________________________ Development mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
