Programmatically sending events to sf::Window
« on: November 28, 2015, 08:28:51 pm »
Hello,

I am using boost::test as a testing framework and am trying to create some tests for how my application will be processing user input to a window. The handling of each individual event is already under a test as they are not part of the same procedure that polls the events, so that's not my concern. I just want to make sure that the actual procedure that has the sf::Window::pollEvent() loop is also tested.

However, I am having trouble determining how one can programmatically send an event to a sf::Window, such as sf::Event::Resized or sf::Event::KeyPressed, which can then be processed by my pollEvent() procedure. Any ideas?

If I need to clarify more then let me know.

It's not possible through the SFML API.
If you must you can write OS specific code and let the OS send events to the SFML window.

Wrap the call to sf::Window::pollEvent(). Use one implementation of this adapter to use actual events from the window, and another that takes simulated events from a mock object.
