QSignalSpy Class

  • Header: QSignalSpy

  • qmake: QT += testlib

Detailed Description

QSignalSpy can connect to any signal of any object and records its emission. QSignalSpy itself is a list of QVariant lists. Each emission of the signal will append one item to the list, containing the arguments of the signal.

The following example records all signal emissions for the clicked() signal of a QCheckBox:

 
Sélectionnez
QCheckBox *box = ...;
QSignalSpy spy(box, SIGNAL(clicked(bool)));

// do something that triggers the signal
box->animateClick();

QCOMPARE(spy.count(), 1); // make sure the signal was emitted exactly one time
QList<QVariant> arguments = spy.takeFirst(); // take the first signal

QVERIFY(arguments.at(0).toBool() == true); // verify the first argument

spy.takeFirst() returns the arguments for the first emitted signal, as a list of QVariant objects. The clicked() signal has a single bool argument, which is stored as the first entry in the list of arguments.

The example below catches a signal from a custom object:

 
Sélectionnez
QSignalSpy spy(myCustomObject, SIGNAL(mySignal(int,QString,double)));

myCustomObject->doSomething(); // trigger emission of the signal

QList<QVariant> arguments = spy.takeFirst();
QVERIFY(arguments.at(0).type() == QVariant::Int);
QVERIFY(arguments.at(1).type() == QVariant::String);
QVERIFY(arguments.at(2).type() == QVariant::double);

Note: Non-standard data types need to be registered, using the qRegisterMetaType() function, before you can create a QSignalSpy. For example:

 
Sélectionnez
qRegisterMetaType<SomeStruct>();
QSignalSpy spy(&model, SIGNAL(whatever(SomeStruct)));

To retrieve the instance, you can use qvariant_cast:

 
Sélectionnez
// get the first argument from the first received signal:
SomeStruct result = qvariant_cast<SomeStruct>(spy.at(0).at(0));

Member Function Documentation

 

[default] QSignalSpy::QSignalSpy(const QObject *object, const char *signal)

Constructs a new QSignalSpy that listens for emissions of the signal from the QObject object. If QSignalSpy is not able to listen for a valid signal (for example, because object is nullptr or signal does not denote a valid signal of object), an explanatory warning message will be output using qWarning() and subsequent calls to isValid() will return false.

Example:

 
Sélectionnez
QSignalSpy spy(myPushButton, SIGNAL(clicked(bool)));

bool QSignalSpy::isValid() const

Returns true if the signal spy listens to a valid signal, otherwise false.

int QSignalSpy::signal() const

Returns the normalized signal the spy is currently listening to.

[since 5.0] bool QSignalSpy::wait(int timeout = 5000)

Starts an event loop that runs until the given signal is received. Optionally the event loop can return earlier on a timeout (in milliseconds).

Returns true if the signal was emitted at least once in timeout milliseconds, otherwise returns false.

Example:

 
Sélectionnez
QVERIFY(spy.wait(1000));

This function was introduced in Qt 5.0.
