For analysis and sharing information Squish supports creating snapshots of objects and all their children via the Squish IDE (covered at Saving object snapshots ) and the test script function saveObjectSnapshot() .
To easily save all objects of the current application with a single function call, a helper function can be used (from file dump_toplevel_objects.py ; store it in the folder with test case test.py or in a Global Scripts folder):
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import names
from dump_toplevel_objects import *
def main():
startApplication(...)
[...]
dump_toplevel_objects()
[...]After execution the Squish IDE has an extra section with more information and a link to each object snapshot file:
The resulting files can be opened with SQUISH_DIR/bin/uibrowser to inspect the object hierarchy and properties of objects:
