GUI backbone tests
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The tests in this subtree are a bit special: they cover the generic and
|
||
|
|
backbone internals of the Lumiera GTK GUI. They are linked against the
|
||
|
|
complete GUI-module (gui plugin), and thus may use all related ABIs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Yet these tests are *deliberately* compiled without any GTK, GTKmm or SigC
|
||
|
|
includes. This effectively rules out the use, even indirectly, of any GTK
|
||
|
|
widgets and APIs -- forcing the covered GUI backbone entities to stay
|
||
|
|
clean and generic at API level.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a decision done on purpose. The concrete GUI framework technology
|
||
|
|
shall be treated as an implementation detail. There is no point in writing
|
||
|
|
tests which click buttons in the GUI -- better delegate any significant
|
||
|
|
logic or functionality to GUI agnostic components. GUI is meant to be
|
||
|
|
a presentation layer and must not develop intelligence on its own.
