AutotestRunner Item
An AutotestRunner
has a dependency to all products with the type "autotest". "Building" the AutotestRunner
product will then run the respective executables. The builtByDefault
property of an AutotestRunner
is set to false
by default, so running the autotests has to be explicitly requested. The default name of the product is "autotest-runner". To use this feature, do the following:
- Attach the "autotest" type to your autotests:
CppApplication { name: "tst_mytest" type: ["application", "autotest"] // ... }
- Instantiate exactly one
AutotestRunner
in your project, typically at the top level:Project { // ... AutotestRunner { } // ... }
- Trigger the autotest execution by "building" the product:
qbs build -p autotest-runner
