[LDTP-Dev] Problems with getallstates?

[t izard]

Hi All,

Since I am only slowly getting up to speed, I don't want to call this a bug when it might just be my ignorance.

When I run the following code:

import xmlrpclib
global p
p = xmlrpclib.ServerProxy("http://192.168.146.128:4118")
p.launchapp("/home/nppdev/Downloads/HelloWorldAT")
p.getallstates('*Test', 'access_testbutton')

access_testbutton is a push button on a remote QT app, that can be enabled/disabled and made visible/hidden.

If I run p.getallstates('*Test', 'access_testbutton') when the button is visible and enabled, I get:
['enabled', 'focusable', 'sensitive', 'showing', 'visible']

If I run p.getallstates('*Test', 'access_testbutton') when the button is visible and disabled, I get:
['focusable', 'showing', 'visible']

Both great, so far

BUT

If I run p.getallstates('*Test', 'access_testbutton') when the button is hidden and enabled, I get:
['enabled', 'focusable', 'sensitive', 'showing', 'visible']

If I run p.getallstates('*Test', 'access_testbutton') when the button is hidden and disabled, I get:
['focusable', 'showing', 'visible']

So, it seems we are properly reporting the states for "enabled" and 'sensitive'
but we always report the state as 'visible', even when it is not.

I have backtracked the code (from core.py) and I believe I need to delve into the pyatspi as that is where I believe the _state.getStates() is based, that getallstates uses to determine the states but I thought I would throw this out there to see if anyone knows what might be going on before I go too far down any rabbit holes.

Thanks,
Tom
