Question

I want to write a testing program. It will open a special *.tests file and test direct program with tests from the file.

I need to:

1. Run some program. e.g ./main -testing 45 563 67
2. Listen to result.

How I can to do it? I want to run program main with some tests and listen to its result.

Answer 1

You should ues the QProcess class to start your program.

QString program = "./main";
QStringList arguments;
arguments << "-testing" << "45" << "563" << ...;

QProcess *myProcess = new QProcess(parent);
myProcess->start(program, arguments);

Then you can use the waitForFinished to wait for it to finish.
exitCode will give you the return code.

The readAllStandardOutput (or *Error) methods allow you to read what the process has output to the console.
