[LDTP-Dev] LDTP for WxPython Applications?

[Wang, Scott]

Folks,

We are developing a GUI tool under Linux/Gnome desktop using wxPython. We are evaluating an Automation Test infrastructure for GUI test. We tried LDTP. It can recognize our application window, Menu and Buttons.  We can write scripts to trigger actions using these Menus. But we run into the issues that the underlying "Accessibility" library used by LDTP can't recognized the UI controls. For example, ListCtrl. As our GUI tools needs automated test cases that make uses of all controls in the application such as Trees, List, Combo and Edit, etc. By only accessing Menu and Buttons, the test coverage will be too small.

I did a search on the net. I found some one have already post the question on wx-users raising similar issues.
http://groups.google.com/group/wx-users/browse_thread/thread/1636071d4c70aeba/fb80117c1ce6508e?q=ldtp+dogtail#fb80117c1ce6508e

I'd like to ask LDTP expert what is the reason that A11 can't recognize these controls? (wxPython is a Python wrapper for wxWidget which is based on GTK+.) Is Gnome Accessibility teams is aware of this?

Best Regards
Scott Wang
