PySide - Click an item inside of a QTreeWidget with QTest

Question

I'm developing an application with PySide. I'm doing the unit tests before writing any code in the application. I need to select an item inside QTreeWidget so I can use QTreeWidget.currentItem to retrieve it and do some stuff with it in order to pass the unit test, I know that I can click widgets using QTest.mouseClick however, I'm not sure how to click a item inside a QTreeWidget.

Answer 1

I was able to achieve what I wanted without using QTest.mouseClick.

Here is the code:

from src import ui
from nose.tools import eq_
from PySide.QtCore import Qt
from PySide.QtTest import QTest

if QtGui.qApp is None:
    QtGui.QApplication([])

appui = ui.Ui()

# ...

def test_movedown_treewidget():
    item = appui.tblURLS.topLevelItem(0)
    appui.tblURLS.setCurrentItem(item)
    QTest.mouseClick(appui.pbtMoveDOWN, Qt.LeftButton)
    # After that click, the connected slot was executed
    # and did something with the current selected widget
    item = appui.tblURLS.topLevelItem(0)

    eq_(item.text(2), u"http://www.amazon.com/example2")


def test_moveup_treewidget():
    item = appui.tblURLS.topLevelItem(1)
    appui.tblURLS.setCurrentItem(item)
    QTest.mouseClick(appui.pbtMoveUP, Qt.LeftButton)
    # After that click, the connected slot was executed
    # and did something with the current selected widget
    item = appui.tblURLS.topLevelItem(0)

    eq_(item.text(2), u"http://www.amazon.com/example1")
