qecore 3.24

DesktopQE Tool for unified test execution

## qecore

[](https://gitlab.com/dogtail/qecore/-/pipelines) [](https://pypi.org/project/qecore/)

The future goal for qecore is for it to become project template for automation testing. As of now the qecore provides a lot of quality of life features for GNOME Desktop testing.

It can be described as a sandbox of sorts for test execution. Paired with behave and dogtail this project serves as a useful tool for test execution with minimal required setup.

[Project Documentation in gitlab Pages](https://dogtail.gitlab.io/qecore/index.html) - build by CI pipelines on every change

### Execute unit tests

Execute the tests (from the project root directory) on machine with dogtail:

`bash rm -f /tmp/qecore_version_status.txt rm -f dist/*.whl python3 -m build python3 -m pip install --force-reinstall --upgrade dist/qecore*.whl sudo -u test scripts/qecore-headless "behave -f html-pretty -o /tmp/report_qecore.html -f plain tests/features" `

You can use -f pretty instead of -f plain to get colored output.

The standard output should not contain any python traceback, produced HTML should be complete (after first scenario there is Status).
