Setting up PYLDTP from source
- check out source from CVS with the following command: 'cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@cvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/ldtp co pyldtp'
- When asked for password enter 'anonymous' and press enter
- change to the source directory with the following command: 'cd pyldtp'
- build with './setup.py build' Assuming that all the above mentioned packages are installed
- setup with './setup.py install' as the root user
Install from pre built rpm
(We assume that you have currently logged in using GNOME session into your box).
1) Download the binary rpm file for setting up PY-LDTP and the PYLDTP framework from the links given below :
* Download latest binary rpm Downloads
* Download latest source code of LDTP Python / C binding pyldtp.tar.gz (http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/cvs/cvsbrowse.php/ldtp/pyldtp/pyldtp.tar.gz?tarball=1)
2) Check if 'ldtp.so' file already exists in /usr/lib/python/site-packages.
If it is already present there, delete it and then install the binary rpm using the following command:
rpm -ivh <filename.rpm> ------- for root user
sudo rpm -ivh <filename.rpm> ------- for normal user
3) After installing the rpm file, do the following command :
ls /usr/lib/python/site-packages/
Check the contents and confirm if the file 'ldtp.so' is present here.
4) PY-LDTP has now been setup on your system. The test scripts for GNOME applications can now be downloaded.
* Download latest copy of pyautosuite pyautosuite.tar.gz (http://forge.novell.com/modules/xfmod/cvs/cvsbrowse.php/ldtp/pyautosuite/pyautosuite.tar.gz?tarball=1)
5) To run the test script for the application use the command
python <application-name.py> '<appmap-file path>'
For eg:
To run the test script for gedit:
Go to the folder containing the test scrips, say Home --> pyautosuite --> gedit
Run the main script, say gedit.py, as
python gedit.py '/home/user/pyautosuite/gedit'
Here, 'home/user/pyautosuite/gedit' is the path where the appmap file, gedit.map, is present in your system.
Note :
* The path for the appmap need not be specified, if the appmap is present in the same folder as the test scripts.
