QTestLib questions not covered by the manual.

When I say "new project" in QTCreator, I get the choice of "GUI App", "Console App", or "Library". It uses it to set the TEMPLATE line in the project file. So sounds like the answer is "Console App".

There are really no differences between a "GUI" and "console" app. You can choose either of the two, especially as you can switch between the two by changing entries in the .pro file. The only difference is whether the QtGui module is included or excluded from the project and you will want that included if you are testing a graphical application.

How do you run multiple test classes?

I've got a directory structure like this:

/proj
    proj.pro
    main.cpp
    /tests
        projtests.pro
        main.cpp
    /data
        data.pri
        dataclass.h
        dataclass.cpp
        /tests
            datatests.pri
            dataclasstests.h
            dataclasstests.cpp

/proj
    proj.pro
    main.cpp
    /tests
        projtests.pro
        main.cpp
    /data
        data.pri
        dataclass.h
        dataclass.cpp
        /tests
            datatests.pri
            dataclasstests.h
            dataclasstests.cpp

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

Every dir has a /tests dir beneath it with tests, and main.pro includes data.pri whereas maintests.pro includes datatests.pri.

The only thing is, I can't figure out how to run tests when set up like this?
The tutorial says you have to do this in your test class:

QTEST_MAIN(<test class name>)
 #include "<test class name>.moc"

QTEST_MAIN(<test class name>)
 #include "<test class name>.moc"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

But as far as I can tell, QTEST_MAIN creates a main function that tests that one class. I'm going to have multiple classes to test, and I want the test main function to live in /proj/tests/main.cpp.

Also the #include "<name>.moc" always shows a warning in QtCreator that the file doesn't exist, although there is no compile-time error.

How do you do this?
