Subject: [Libreoffice-qa] New tests: GTK3 platform accessibility<br>
Message-ID: <<a href="mailto:05958ff6-cd12-7738-aa0e-8c51f877befe@hypra.fr" target="_blank">05958ff6-cd12-7738-aa0e-8c51f877befe@hypra.fr</a>><br>

Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
Platform accessibility (a11y) conformance tests for the GTK3 VCL [1] <br>
have been merged a couple days ago. This is a set of tests validating <br>
that the a11y exposed to the platform on Linux using the GTK3 VCL is <br>
coherent with the internal representation in LO. This can catch (and <br>
already had caught) issues in the VCL layer not correctly transmitting <br>
data over -- and even more [2]. You can read a bit more on the <br>
technical side of things on the wiki page [3].<br>
<br>
These tests are enabled by default if all dependencies are available. <br>
That is a working Xvfb [4], dbus-launch, and the AT-SPI2 library [5] <br>
which is used to communicate with the platform accessibility daemon. It <br>
is also possible to either enable or disable them forcefully, using <br>
--enable-atspi-test and --disable-atspi-tests respectively.<br>
<br>
Linux CIs are running these tests, but anybody willing is encouraged to <br>
enable those locally and report any issue (don't hesitate to CC me).<br>
<br>
Anybody interested is also more than welcome to extend coverage of these <br>
tests! At the moment only a subset of the a11y APIs are checked, yet it <br>
should not be very hard to add more. If you're interested, give [3] a <br>
look and again, don't hesitate to get in touch with me.<br>
If you're interested in making this work with another VCL (Qt6, GTK4, <br>
etc.) it would also be great, but probably require a tad more work. It <br>
would however be very interesting, and would add coverage for another <br>
substantial module :)<br>
<br>
You're also more than welcome to build on the concept for other <br>
platforms (e.g. Window or macos). I expect those to look fairly <br>
similar, but require a wholly different platform wrapping layer <br>
(obviously they'd use something other than libatspi, and they might need <br>
to adapt to differences in the platform's expectations, although they <br>
are actually fairly similar).<br>
<br>
Happy testing!<br>
Regards,<br>
Colomban<br>
<br>
PS: huge thanks to everyone that helped me getting this finally done, <br>
including but not limited to testing, fixing blocker bugs, adjust CI <br>
environment, and everything else :)<br>
