+# GUI tests
+
+Widget-level playback tests for the Cockatrice client, driven by
+[QtTesting](https://github.com/Kitware/QtTesting) (`external/qttesting`, a submodule).
+Each `*_test.xml` file is a list of events that QtTesting replays against the running
+application; a test passes when every event is handled without error.
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+git submodule update --init external/qttesting      # once
+cmake -S . -B build/debug -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_SERVER=0 -DWITH_GUI_TEST=ON
+cmake --build build/debug -j 24
+
+./Testing/run_test.sh --all                        # headless, offscreen
+./Testing/run_test.sh Testing/smoke_test.xml       # one file
+./Testing/run_test.sh --visual Testing/smoke_test.xml   # shows the window
+```
+
+`WITH_GUI_TEST` is on by default; a checkout without the submodule configures with a
+warning and no harness. `COCKATRICE_BIN` points the runner at another build, and
+`TEST_TIMEOUT` (seconds, default 180) bounds a single test — a failing event inside a
+modal dialog can otherwise leave the process alive. The client also hard-exits a few
+seconds after playback returns, whatever the result.
+
+The tests are **not** part of `ctest`: they need a card database and a developer's
+settings, so they stay a local loop for now.
+
+## Caveats
+
+- **Not hermetic.** The client reads the local settings and card database, so a test can
+  pass on one machine and fail on another. Avoid asserting things that restored
+  workspace state or user preferences decide (for example the number of open tabs).
+- **English labels only.** Menu entries are addressed by their (translated) text, so the
+  tests expect the source language. Widgets are addressed by objectName paths, which are
+  stable across translations.
+- Actions that open a dialog are followed by a `pause` event: playback continues in the
+  dialog's own event loop, and the pause gives the UI time to build itself.
+- Widget paths include Qt-internal names where a QTabWidget is involved
+  (`qt_tabwidget_stackedwidget`), and the deck views in a game are indexed
+  (`tabbedDeckView_0`, `tabbedDeckView_1`).
+
+## Writing a test
+
+A test is a `<events>` list. Widgets are named by their path from the main window, e.g.
+`MainWindow/tabSupervisor/stackedWidget/TabGame/phasesMenu`. Useful commands:
+
+| Command | Arguments | Effect |
+|---------|-----------|--------|
+| `activate` | action or menu name | triggers a QAction (menus are opened first) |
+| `key` | Qt key code | presses that key on the focused widget |
+| `pause` | milliseconds | waits, letting the UI settle |
+| `clickCard` | `card,zone` | left click the card found in that zone |
+| `flipCard` | `card,zone` | right-click → *Turn Over* |
+| `cardAction` | `card,zone,label` | right-click → first menu entry whose label contains `label` (submenus included) |
+| `moveCard` | `card,srcZone,dstZone` | drags the card onto the destination zone |
+| `drawArrow` | `srcCard,srcZone,dstCard,dstZone` | right-drag an arrow between two cards |
+| `createToken` | `name,color,pt` | creates a token as the active local player |
+| `selectItem` | `item label` | selects the tree/list entry with that label |
+| `typeText` | `text` | types text one key event at a time |
+| `expectProperty` | `property,value` | fails playback unless the widget property matches |
+
+The card, item and property commands are `pqCockatriceEventPlayer`
+(`cockatrice/src/game_graphics/pq_cockatrice_event_player.h`). They resolve cards by name
+and zone through the `QGraphicsScene` and send real mouse events at the card's current
+viewport position, so a test does not depend on the window size or screen resolution.

+ * Custom event player for Cockatrice game interactions.
+ *
+ * Card commands are resolution independent: the card is looked up in the
+ * QGraphicsScene by name and zone, then mouse events are sent at the card's
+ * current viewport position. That keeps recordings usable across screen sizes
+ * and window geometries.
+ *
+ * Commands:
+ *   clickCard "cardName,zoneName"
+ *       left press/release + double click — plays a card from hand, taps a
+ *       permanent, opens the deck view entry, depending on the zone
+ *   flipCard "cardName,zoneName"
+ *       right-click → "Turn Over" (shorthand for cardAction)
+ *   cardAction "cardName,zoneName,actionText"
+ *       right-click the card and trigger the first context menu action whose
+ *       label contains actionText; submenus are searched as well, so
+ *       "Add counter (A)" works
+ *   moveCard "cardName,srcZoneName,dstZoneName"
+ *       left-drag the card onto the destination zone — plays a card, moves it
+ *       to the graveyard/exile, puts it back into hand, ...
+ *   drawArrow "srcCard,srcZone,dstCard,dstZone"
+ *       right-drag an arrow from one card to another
+ *   createToken "name,color,pt"
+ *       create a token through the active local player, as the table context
+ *       menu's "Create token" dialog would
+ *   selectItem "item text"
+ *       selects the first item of a tree/list widget whose label matches, for
+ *       navigating the settings navigation tree or similar label-driven views
+ *   typeText "some text"
+ *       types the text into the widget one key event at a time — use it for
+ *       deck lists and search boxes instead of one event per character
+ *   expectProperty "propertyName,expectedValue"
+ *       assertion: playback fails unless object->property(propertyName)
+ *       equals expectedValue — for example "count,2" on the tab widget
