This PR addresses the need for testing infrastructure in the ROS2 Qt GUI application by implementing a complete test suite covering core functionality.
Changes Made
Test Infrastructure
test/directory with three comprehensive test files:test_basic_ros2.cpp- Tests ROS2 node creation, publishers, and subscriberstest_basic_qt.cpp- Tests Qt compilation and basic string operationstest_functionality.cpp- Tests OpenCV image processing and message formatting used in the applicationBuild Configuration
CMakeLists.txtto include proper test targets with gtest integrationament_cmake_gtestdependency topackage.xmlDevelopment Environment
.gitignoreto exclude build artifacts, IDE files, and temporary filesTEST_README.mdwith comprehensive testing instructions and documentationTest Coverage
The tests validate:
cv::resizefunctions used in GUI)Usage
In a ROS2 environment:
colcon build --packages-select ros2_qt_node colcon test --packages-select ros2_qt_node colcon test-result --verboseThe tests are designed to work without requiring a full GUI display environment while still validating the core application logic.
Fixes #1.
