Furious test suite
The suite uses Python's built-in unittest runner. In the main test process,
Qt tests use one deliberately small QApplication and route QSettings to a
unique temporary directory. Focused lifecycle, public-import, and display-scale
regressions may start a hermetic child Python process, and external-runtime tests use that child interpreter as
a harmless stand-in for a core. Tests do not initialize Furious's singleton IPC
server, production repositories, system proxy, TUN, routing, update network
clients, or real proxy cores.
Testing philosophy
Choose the smallest layer that can prove the contract under test. Do not replace Qt behavior with direct slot calls when focus, selection, model mapping, shortcut scope, event delivery, or destruction is part of that contract.
- Pure logic tests exercise models, repositories, codecs, controllers, and services without constructing widgets. Inject only the runtime, network, or host-operation boundary that would otherwise cause an external side effect.
- Qt integration tests construct the real widget/model/proxy composition and
use
QTestkeyboard or mouse input plus the real event loop. Assertions target semantic state such as profile identity, current selection, focus owner, signal count, and wrapper destruction—not incidental row numbers or pixels. - Small workflow tests compose a few real UI surfaces around one shared controller or repository. They keep Qt signals and widgets real while mocking only unavailable platform privileges, network/process launch, plugin discovery, or user-facing host dialogs.
tests.support is the canonical Qt harness: application() owns the one
process-wide test application, isolatedSettings() contains persistence,
processQtEvents() drains deferred deletion, and waitFor() handles bounded
event-loop convergence. Add a helper there only when multiple modules need the
same lifecycle primitive; do not create a second application or event-pumping
strategy in an individual test.

The lifecycle tests classify AppQTransientDialog, protocol/plugin editors,
routing dialogs, subscription editors, message boxes, QR windows, and TUN
settings dialogs as transient. TextEditorWindow is intentionally reusable: it
must survive normal close/show cycles without multiplying actions, and is then
explicitly destroyed by its owner. Main pages/controllers are application
lifetime objects and are tested through isolated service/UI boundaries rather
than by starting the production application runtime.
Commands
Run commands from the repository root with the project and its runtime
dependencies installed in the active environment. If the root contains a
.venv* or venv* environment, activate it first; the examples intentionally
use its python command rather than a machine-specific interpreter path.
Select the offscreen Qt platform before Python starts. Some test modules
import Qt-backed Furious modules before tests.support can apply its defensive
default, so setting it only after test discovery begins is too late.
Windows PowerShell:
$env:QT_QPA_PLATFORM = 'offscreen'
Windows Command Prompt:
set QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen
Linux, macOS, and other Unix-compatible shells:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen
Then run the desired test tier.

To run one module, class, or method while developing, pass its dotted test name to the same runner, for example:
python -m unittest tests.test_endpoint_info -v
python -m unittest tests.test_endpoint_info.EndpointInfoServiceTest -v
No external network access or separately installed Xray/Hysteria executable is required. Process-boundary tests create only temporary scripts and launch the active Python interpreter. Two regressions cover Windows-specific behavior and are skipped on other platforms; native handle/RSS trend checks use the safe platform counters available on the current host.
Several negative-path tests intentionally emit warning or error log messages.
The opt-in release-confidence tier uses high operation counts but samples native
resources only at batch boundaries, so its assertions remain ownership-oriented.
Neither stress tier is enabled by a normal focused module run. Treat the runner's
final status and exit code as authoritative; expected diagnostic output still ends in
OK.
tests/benchmarks/benchmark_subscription_updates.py is a development-only 1/3/8-group benchmark. It generates 1,500 profiles
per group by default and reports decode/parse CPU time, reconciliation preparation, worker wall time, and GUI-thread
commit time. Pass --url explicitly to benchmark a live subscription; normal tests never use the network.
tests/benchmarks/benchmark_qr_export.py measures the real Segno-to-QImage renderer and the complete synchronous or
incremental QR-window pipeline. The 5,000-item UI workloads are intentionally benchmarks rather than correctness tests;
run each mode in a fresh process so allocator and Qt-widget state do not affect the next measurement:
python tests/benchmarks/benchmark_qr_export.py --mode images --count 5000
python tests/benchmarks/benchmark_qr_export.py --mode synchronous --count 5000
python tests/benchmarks/benchmark_qr_export.py --mode asynchronous --count 5000
The regular Qt stress tier renders repeated real QR batches at the production cap. The opt-in release-confidence tier temporarily raises the cap to 1,000 and verifies real generation, event-loop yielding, result-window presentation, exact tab completion, and window-owned timer/state destruction. These tests intentionally assert behavior and cleanup rather than machine-dependent elapsed-time thresholds.
Packaged-build smoke procedure
Packaged/Nuitka behavior is outside the source-level unittest fixtures. For an
optional release smoke check, use an otherwise disposable test OS account or
VM, redirect all Furious application-data/settings locations to a temporary
directory, and keep system proxy and TUN disabled. Open and close each transient
editor family 50 times, verify one reusable TextEditorWindow does not
duplicate actions, and compare live-object diagnostics from an instrumented
build before/after the loop. Do not run this procedure against a production
profile or rely on process-name cleanup; close only the exact packaged process
started for the smoke test.
Isolation rules
- Tests clean up only exact subprocess handles/PIDs and threads they create.
- Child-process lifecycle tests disable single-instance discovery and host integration before running a real Qt event loop.
- Tests never search for, signal, or terminate another Furious/core process.
- Persistence tests use temporary INI-backed
QSettingsnamespaces. - Controller tests inject fake runtime managers and patch host-mutation APIs.
- Qt tests use normal close/deferred-delete paths and collect Python cycles only at diagnostic batch boundaries, never once per UI operation.
- A lifetime failure must be investigated as an ownership defect; increasing thresholds or forcing production garbage collection is not an acceptable fix.
