simvx.core.ui.testing

Headless UI test harness: validate widgets without GPU or window.

Provides UITestHarness for frame simulation, input injection, and draw capture. All tests run on CPU only; no Vulkan, GLFW, or display required.

Example: from simvx.core import Button, VBoxContainer, SceneTree from simvx.core.ui.testing import UITestHarness

def test_button_click():
    root = VBoxContainer()
    btn = root.add_child(Button("Save"))
    harness = UITestHarness(root)

    clicks = []
    btn.pressed.connect(lambda: clicks.append(1))

    harness.click(btn)
    assert len(clicks) == 1

class simvx.core.ui.testing.DrawLog

Mock renderer that records draw commands for assertion.

Implements the same interface as Draw2D so widgets can render into it. All geometry is captured but not rasterized.

Example: harness.tick() assert “Save” in harness.draw_log.texts() assert harness.draw_log.rects_at(100, 50)

Initialization

clear()

Discard all recorded calls.

text_width(text: str, scale: float = 1.0) → float

Approximate text width: 8px per character at scale 1.0.

For multi-line strings (containing \n), returns the widest line, matching the real Draw2D.text_width contract.

text_height(text: str, scale: float = 1.0) → float

Approximate text height: 14 * 1.2 * scale per line.

text_size(text: str, scale: float = 1.0) → tuple[float, float]

fit_scale(text: str, max_width: float, *, base_scale: float = 1.0, min_scale: float | None = None) → float

Largest scale ≤ base_scale that fits text within max_width.

Mirrors :meth:simvx.graphics.draw2d.Draw2D.fit_scale: when min_scale is None the readable-pixel floor (~10px / 14 logical) is applied; explicit values bypass the safety net.

push_clip(x: float, y: float, w: float, h: float)

pop_clip()

push_transform(a, b, c, d, tx, ty)

pop_transform()

draw_rect(pos, size, *, colour: tuple = (1, 1, 1, 1), filled: bool = False, thickness: float = 1.0)

Canonical rect entry. pos and size must be 2-tuples or Vec2s.

draw_line(a, b, *, colour: tuple = (1, 1, 1, 1), thickness: float = 1.0)

Canonical line entry. a and b must be 2-tuples or Vec2s.

draw_text(text: str, pos: tuple | None = None, *, colour: tuple = (1, 1, 1, 1), scale: float = 1.0, rect: tuple | None = None, alignment: str = 'left', vertical_alignment: str = 'top', fit_to_width: bool = False, min_scale: float | None = None)

draw_circle(center, radius, *, colour=None, filled: bool = False, segments: int = 32)

fill_rect_gradient(x: float, y: float, w: float, h: float, colour_top: tuple, colour_bottom: tuple)

draw_gradient_rect(x: float, y: float, w: float, h: float, colour_top: tuple, colour_bottom: tuple)

draw_thick_line(x1: float, y1: float, x2: float, y2: float, width: float = 2.0, *, colour=(1, 1, 1, 1))

draw_lines(points, closed=True, colour=None)

fill_triangle(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, *, colour=(1, 1, 1, 1))

fill_quad(x1, y1, x2, y2, x3, y3, x4, y4, *, colour=(1, 1, 1, 1))

draw_texture(texture_id, x, y, w, h, colour=None, rotation=0.0)

texts() → list[str]

All rendered text strings.

texts_containing(substring: str) → list[str]

Text strings containing a substring.

rects_at(x: float, y: float) → list[simvx.core.ui.testing.DrawCall]

All fill_rect calls whose bounds contain (x, y).

calls_of_type(call_type: str) → list[simvx.core.ui.testing.DrawCall]

All calls of a specific type.

has_text(text: str) → bool

Check if exact text was rendered.

has_text_containing(substring: str) → bool

Check if any rendered text contains substring.

class simvx.core.ui.testing.UITestHarness(root: simvx.core.ui.core.Control, screen_size: tuple[float, float] = (1280, 720))

Headless UI test harness for programmatic widget testing.

Creates a SceneTree with the given root control, provides input injection helpers, frame simulation, draw capture, and widget lookup.

Example: panel = VBoxContainer() btn = panel.add_child(Button(“OK”)) harness = UITestHarness(panel)

harness.click(btn)
harness.type_text("hello")
harness.press_key("enter")

harness.tick()
assert harness.draw_log.has_text("OK")

Initialization

property root: simvx.core.ui.core.Control

teardown()

Tear down the scene tree, breaking reference cycles to free memory.

Idempotent: safe to call multiple times. Recursively severs every parent↔child and node↔tree back-reference so the entire node graph becomes immediately reclaimable by refcount alone (no GC needed).

tick(dt: float = 1 / 60, count: int = 1)

Advance count frames: process → draw for each.

Draw log is cleared before the first frame, then accumulates across all frames in this tick call.

process_only(dt: float = 1 / 60, count: int = 1)

Advance frames without drawing (faster for logic-only tests).

click(target: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2 | tuple[float, float], button: simvx.core.input.enums.MouseButton = MouseButton.LEFT)

Click (press + release) at widget center or screen position.

double_click(target: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2 | tuple[float, float], button: simvx.core.input.enums.MouseButton = MouseButton.LEFT)

Two rapid clicks at the same position.

mouse_down(target: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2 | tuple[float, float], button: simvx.core.input.enums.MouseButton = MouseButton.LEFT)

Press mouse button without releasing.

mouse_up(target: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2 | tuple[float, float], button: simvx.core.input.enums.MouseButton = MouseButton.LEFT)

Release mouse button.

mouse_move(target: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2 | tuple[float, float])

Move mouse to position (triggers hover/mouse_over updates).

drag(start: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2, end: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2, steps: int = 5, button: simvx.core.input.enums.MouseButton = MouseButton.LEFT)

Simulate mouse drag with intermediate moves.

type_text(text: str)

Send character events for each char in text to the focused widget.

press_key(key: str, release: bool = True)

Send key press (and optionally release) event.

Accepts string key names (e.g. "escape", "ctrl+s") which the UI router understands directly: sim’s press_key works on Key enums and only drives the scene-tree path, so keep the string-routed UI path here.

scroll(target: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2 | tuple[float, float], direction: str = 'down', amount: int = 1)

Send scroll events. direction is ‘up’ or ‘down’.

touch(target: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2 | tuple[float, float], finger_id: int = 0)

Touch down on a control (like a tap press). Routes through UI as mouse.

touch_up(target: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2 | tuple[float, float], finger_id: int = 0)

Touch release on a control.

tap(target: simvx.core.ui.core.Control | simvx.core.math.types.Vec2 | tuple[float, float], finger_id: int = 0)

Full tap gesture (touch down + release).

set_focus(control: simvx.core.ui.core.Control)

Directly focus a control.

find(path: str) → simvx.core.ui.core.Control | None

Find widget by slash-separated name path from root.

Example: harness.find(“Layout/TabContainer/Editor”)

find_all(widget_type: type) → list[simvx.core.ui.core.Control]

Find all widgets of a given type in the tree.

find_by_text(text: str) → simvx.core.ui.core.Control | None

Find first Label or Button whose .text contains the given string.

find_by_name(name: str) → simvx.core.ui.core.Control | None

Find first widget with the given name (depth-first).

assert_visible(widget: simvx.core.ui.core.Control, msg: str = '')

Assert widget is visible.

assert_hidden(widget: simvx.core.ui.core.Control, msg: str = '')

Assert widget is not visible.

assert_focused(widget: simvx.core.ui.core.Control, msg: str = '')

Assert widget has focus.

assert_text(widget: simvx.core.ui.core.Control, expected: str, msg: str = '')

Assert widget.text matches expected.

assert_text_contains(widget: simvx.core.ui.core.Control, substring: str, msg: str = '')

Assert widget.text contains substring.

assert_drawn_text(text: str, msg: str = '')

Assert text appears in the draw log.

assert_drawn_text_containing(substring: str, msg: str = '')

Assert any drawn text contains substring.

assert_signal_emitted(signal, msg: str = '') → list

Connect to a signal and return a list that collects emissions.

Call this BEFORE the action that should emit. Check the list after.

Example: emissions = harness.assert_signal_emitted(btn.pressed) harness.click(btn) assert len(emissions) == 1
