Python Qt6 : Test application with unittest and QtTest.

In this simple example, I add a test class with unittest to sleep the application and QtTest to wait for the window to open after pressing the button.

To run the unittest you need to uncomment this row of source code:

#unittest.main()

Let's see the source code:

import sys

from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QDialog, QMainWindow, QPushButton
from PyQt6 import QtCore, QtGui, QtWidgets
from PyQt6 import QtTest 

# Unitest area
import unittest
from time import sleep
def sleep_sec(sec):
    sleep(10*sec)
#
#define class for unittest
class Test(unittest.TestCase):
    def test_square(self):
        sleep_sec(5)

class Ui_Dialog(object):
    def setupUi(self, Dialog):
        Dialog.setObjectName("Dialog")
        Dialog.resize(640, 480)
        self.verticalLayout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(Dialog)

    def retranslateUi(self, Dialog):
        _translate = QtCore.QCoreApplication.translate

class Window(QMainWindow):
    """Main window."""
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        """Initializer."""
        super().__init__(parent)
        # Use a QPushButton for the central widget
        self.centralWidget = QPushButton("Test_Button")

        # Connect the .clicked() signal with the .onTest_BtnClicked() slot
        self.centralWidget.clicked.connect(self.onTest_BtnClicked)
        self.setCentralWidget(self.centralWidget)

    # Create a slot for launching the Test_ dialog
    def onTest_BtnClicked(self):
        """Launch the Test_ dialog."""
        dlg = Test_Dlg(self)
        # This will test with QtTest just for click 
        QtTest.QTest.qWait(2500)

        dlg.exec()

class Test_Dlg(QDialog):
    """Test dialog."""
    def __init__(self, parent=None):
        super().__init__(parent)
        # Create an instance of the GUI
        self.ui = Ui_Dialog()
        # Run the .setupUi() method to show the GUI
        self.ui.setupUi(self)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    # this test all run of application and show :
    # Ran 1 test in 50.001s
    # uncoment this
    #unittest.main()
    
    # Create the application
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    # Create and show the application's main window
    win = Window()
    win.show()
    # Run the application's main loop
    sys.exit(app.exec())
