QTest get test name

Within a Qt Unit-test, how can the program retrieve the name of the test being run?

Code looks something like this:

#include <QtTest>
class MyTest : public QObject
{
    Q_OBJECT

private Q_SLOTS:
    void initTestCase()
    {
    }

    void testCase1()
    {
    }

    void cleanupTestCase()
    {
      // Want to print "finished testCase1" here
    }
};

QTEST_APPLESS_MAIN(MyTest)

e.g. can it find out the name of the signal/slot that triggered the test?

Solution

  • QTest::currentTestFunction() Should return the name of the current test function as a const char *

    As an aside, perhaps you want to put it within a cleanup function, and not cleanupTestCase? It appears that cleanup is called after each test, while cleanupTestCase will be called only after all tests are finished.
