funq is a tool to write FUNctional tests for Qt applications, both Widgets and QML, using python.
It is licenced under the CeCILL v2.1 licence (very close to the GPL v2). See the LICENCE.txt file distributed in the sources for more information.
The licence may appear restrictive, but as funq is a testing tool, you probably just don't mind. Do not deliver funq alongside your code source or compiled binaries if your licence is not compatible, that's all. You can still use the sources, or link with funq libraries for a personal use (like testing!).
Please feel free to contribute to this project by creating github issues, pull requests, or simply staring the project! It will be greatly appreciated.

CI build status:
Get funq on PyPi (server and client packages):
Run your application like:
funq --host 0.0.0.0 --port 9000 YourApp
Then you can call from python like this:
from funq.client import FunqClient
funq = FunqClient("192.168.0.17", 9000)
funq.widget('btnTest').click()
You can easily install it from PyPi with pip or setuptools:
pip install funq-server pip install funq
Note that funq-server will need qmake to build the C++ part of the server, and this installation will be Qt-compatible with the same Qt version of qmake.
To specify the path to qmake, you can define the FUNQ_QMAKE_PATH environment variable:
FUNQ_QMAKE_PATH=/usr/bin/qmake-qt5 pip install funq-server
Also, if you're not using virtualenv you may have to take root privileges to install funq.
You can instead get the sources and install it:
cd funq/ pip install server pip install client
For contributors, you may want to use pip install -e instead of pip install commands. Note that virtualenv is highly recommended, so you can easily manage multiple python/Qt4/Qt5 environments.
When installing funq-server from sources, you can create a server/setup.cfg file to specify the qmake path:
[build_libfunq] qmake_path = /usr/bin/qmake-qt5
Before running the pip install command, or use the FUNQ_QMAKE_PATH environment variable.
funq is divided in two parts:
- funq-server is the server part of the project, composed of an executable called funq and a dynamic library libFunq. The funq executable allows to inject some code in a Qt application to start a TCP server that will allow to interact with the application.
- funq is a python package that offers an API to interact with a libFunq TCP server. It is the client side of the project, and uses nosetests to launch FUNctional Qt tests.
Funq currently works with Python >= 3.5, Qt4 and Qt5 on GNU/Linux, macOS and Windows.

Thanks to Yann De Poulpiquet <yann_de_poulpiquet@bestmail.us> and Riad Lezzar <rlezzar@gmail.com> to have contributed by writing the firsts functional tests with funq.
Thanks also to Jean-Luc Rouzoul, Dominique Constant and Mickaël Guérin for having supported this project.
Without them, funq would never have become a free software !
