cmake: Build `test_bitcoin-qt` executable #101

hebasto · 2024-02-11T16:06:21Z

A new configuration option is BUILD_GUI_TESTS.

Native Windows / MSVC Notes:

vcpkg configures Qt with -opengl dynamic, which makes the "minimal" platform plugin unusable due to internal Qt bugs.
ctest workarounds this issue by setting the environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM=windows.
This approach works nice in the CI for both x64-windows and x64-windows-static triplets. Please note that test_bitcoin-qt.exe fails to run in the CI environment on the master branch.
One who is willing to debug Qt with the "minimal" platform plugin could run the test_bitcoin-qt.exe directly (not driven by ctest).

I noticed while poking around that cmake adds:
CMakeFiles/test_bitcoin-qt.dir/__/__/__/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/cmake/Qt5Gui/Qt5Gui_QXcbIntegrationPlugin_Import.cpp.o

The contents of Qt5Gui_QXcbIntegrationPlugin_Import.cpp are:

#include <QtPlugin>
Q_IMPORT_PLUGIN(QXcbIntegrationPlugin)

So I think we're doing that twice?

It seems we should either turn that off somehow, or remove the import from our code?

.github/workflows/cmake.yml

      - name: Test Release configuration
        run: |
-          ctest --test-dir build -j $env:NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS -C Release
+          ctest --test-dir build -j $env:NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS -C Release --exclude-regex test_bitcoin-qt


Why? Because it requires a gui? Could you please add a comment?

A "TODO" comment with links to the issues has been added.

Nice catch! It happens on the staging branch as well. Investigating...

@theuni

Thank you for this insight! Please consider #103.

This PR has been rebased on #103 and drafted for now.

On Windows, the statically linked test_bitcoin.exe crashes with the minimal platform plugin, which is used by default.

Specifically, WalletTests and AddressBookTests fail due to an unhandled exception in the QMessageBox class.

This behavior differs from our custom static Qt build in the master branch, which does not crash :)

I believe that the root of the difference in behaviour lies in the following Qt configuration options:

master branch: -opengl desktop
vcpkg: -opengl dynamic (a recommended choice)

There are two obvious workarounds for this unfortunate issue:

Keep using our custom static Qt build for statically linked executables.
Disable WalletTests and AddressBookTests for the minimal platform plugin as we do on macOS.

Thought?

+1 to disable the tests for the dynamically linked version.

Reasoning being that the Windows build is for "developers only" and tracking down Qt bugs for a non-production build doesn't seem to offer a good effort to reward tradeoff.

A "TODO" comment with links to the issues has been added.

The mentioned issues have been fixed in bitcoin-core/gui#803. Please review it as well :)

Find out whether Qt is static explicitly as it's done in the master branch.

hebasto · 2024-03-09T12:30:06Z

Reworked. Rebased. Ready for review.

The PR description has been updated with Windows/MSVC specific notes.

Friendly ping @TheCharlatan @m3dwards @pablomartin4btc @vasild; and @sipsorcery (as a Windows expert) :)

With a dynamic linked build on Windows I get:

The following tests FAILED:

Output from these tests are in: C:/dev/github/hebasto-bitcoin/build/Testing/Temporary/LastTest.log

Yes. That happens when a user has no privilege to create symbolic links. This issue is not specific to this PR change. However, it should be fixed.
