QTest::mouseClick on disabled button

[yodal_]

I am currently trying to write some smoke tests for a PyQT5 app.

When certain functionality is no possible I disable a button that would use that functionality. In the actual app this works as expected: a user can't click the button and if they try then nothing happens. Problematically, when clicking the disabled button using QTest::mouseClick in an automated test, the clicked signal is sent despite the button being disabled.

Is this expected or am I failing to set up my test right? If this is expected, is there a better way to test this?

Hi and welcome to devnet,

That sounds pretty surprising...

Can you provide a minimal Python project showing this behaviour ?

My apologies, I've realized that everything was working as written, but not as intended. The code that disables the button was not being called in the test, hence the reason why it wasn't working. As soon as I fixed that error, everything worked as expected.

Nice !
