running without a mainlopp for unittests

[Stefan Kost <kost imn htwk-leipzig de>]

hi hi,

I currently fight with some highlevel unit test, that should basically start the
application and immeditely exit.
The Problem I have is that instead of calling gtk_main() I want to init
everything and then shut-down.

The test-framework stats tests with fork to capture crashing.
Before I initialize g_thread and gdk_threads. I wrap lauching the test suite in
gdk_thread_enter/leave().

When the tests run, I often get XLib errors a la
sequence lost (0x100b9 > 0xb9) in reply to 0x0!
...

To me this sounds like probelm in message passing. Should I add another
gdk_thread_enter/leave() after the fork (for each test case)?

Does anyone do unit test that test the GUI?

Stefan
