[gnome-desktop-testing] Announce: Linux Desktop Testing Project (LDTP) 2.1.0 released

[Nagappan Alagappan <nagappan gmail com>]

Hello,

About LDTP:

Linux Desktop Testing Project is aimed at producing high quality test automation framework (using GNOME / Python) and cutting-edge tools that can be used to test Linux Desktop and improve it. It uses the Accessibility libraries to poke through the application's user interface. We strive to help in building a quality desktop.

Changes in this release:

Added documentation files from LDTPv1 and updated accordingly

Search object name as unicode character and mutliline

Print Unicode exception, instead of string. Printing string fails, if non-ascii strings are in exception string

Performance improvement:

When looking for object inside a window without any delay, utilize all the CPU, just delay the lookup every 2 seconds

Don't force remap on gechild, getobjectlist, getobjectproperty, unless the window object is changed, as this utilizes more CPU

New API:

getmax - Get max value of spin button

getmin - Get min value of spin button

startlog - Start logging to file

stoplog - Stop logging to file

startprocessmonitor - Start monitoring the given process

stopprocessmonitor - Stop monitoring the given process

getcpustat - Get the current CPU statistics of the given process

getmemorystat - Get the current memory statistics of the given process

registerkbevent - Register keyboard event

deregisterkbevent - De-Register keyboard event

getobjectnameatcoords - Get window / object name in LDTP format based on the current mouse co-ordinates

Bugs fixed:

619575: Raise a more descriptive error when a child is not found

620343: setcellvalue is not implemented in LDTP2

624690: LDTP2.0.6 cannot type comma ', ' use function 'enterstring'

624678: Cannot identifiy some dialogs of OpenOffice3.2

635047: 'comboselect' doesn't work when specify component name listed in 'getobjectlist'

638229 - onwindowcreate fails with CannotSendRequest with python2.7

638226 - Missing import socket in ldtp/__init__.py
