### GutControl Example Script for Deployed Tests

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Running-On-Devices.html

Full example script for running GUT tests on devices. Requires a scene with a GutControl node named 'GutControl'. Loads config from 'res://.gutconfig.json'. Includes simple and complex setup, signal connections, and a button handler to run tests.

```GDScript
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# This is an example of using the GutControl (res://addons/gut/gui/GutContro.tscn)
# to execute tests in a deployed game.

### GutTest Example with InputSender Setup and Teardown

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Mocking-Input.html

Complete example of a GutTest class that sends inputs to Input. Defines the InputSender at class level and uses after_each to release_all and clear to prevent input leaking between tests.

```GDScript
extends GutTest

# When sending events to Input the InputSender instance should be defined at
# the class level so that you can easily clear it between tests in after_each.
var _sender = InputSender.new(Input)

# IMPORTANT:  When using Input as the receiver of events you should always
#             release_all and clear the InputSender so that any
#             actions/keys/buttons that are not released in a test are released
#             before the next test runs.  "down" events will not be sent by
#             Input if the action/button/etc is currently "down".
func after_each():
    _sender.release_all()
    _sender.clear()


# In this test we press and hold the jump button for .1 seconds then wait
# another .3 seconds for the jump to take take place.  We then assert that
# the character has moved up between 4 and 5 pixels.
func test_tapping_jump_jumps_certain_height():
    var player = add_child_autofree(Player.new())

    _sender.action_down("jump").hold_for(.1).wait(.3)
    await(_sender.idle)

    assert_between(player.position.y, 4, 5)


# This is similar to the other test but we hold jump for longer and then
# verify the player jumped higher.
func test_holding_jump_jumps_higher():
    var player = add_child_autofree(Player.new())

    _sender.action_down("jump").hold_for(.75)
    await(_sender.idle)

    assert_between(player.position.y, 7, 8)


# This tests throwing a fireball, like with Ryu or Ken from Street Fighter.
# Note that there is not a hold_for after "forward" and the key_down for
# fierce punch (FP) immediately after.  This means the "forward" motion AND
# FP are pressed in the same frame.
func test_fireball_input():
    var player = add_child_autofree(Player.new())

    _sender.action_down("down").hold_for("2f")\
        .action_down("down_forward").hold_for("2f")\
        .action_down("forward").key_down("FP")
    await(_sender.idle)

    assert_true(player.is_throwing_fireball())


# In this example we are testing that two actions in combination cause the
# player to slide.  Note that there is no release of the actions in this
# test.  This is a good example of why using release_all in after_each makes
# the tests simpler to write and prevents leaking of inputs from one test to
# another.
func test_holding_down_and_jump_does_slide():
    var player = add_child_autofree(Player.new())

    _sender.action_down("down").wait("1f")\
        .action_down("jump").wait("2f")
    await(_sender.idle)

    assert_gt(player.velocity.x, 0)
```

### Inner test classes example

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Creating-Tests.html

Shows how to group tests using inner classes that start with 'Test' and extend GutTest. Each inner class can have its own setup and test methods.

```GDScript
extends GutTest

class TestFeatureA:
	extends GutTest

	var Obj = load('res://scripts/object.gd')
	var _obj = null

	func before_each():
		_obj = Obj.new()

	func test_something():
		assert_true(_obj.is_something_cool(), 'Should be cool.')

class TestFeatureB:
	extends GutTest

	var Obj = load('res://scripts/object.gd')
	var _obj = null

	func before_each():
		_obj = Obj.new()

	func test_foobar():
		assert_eq(_obj.foo(), 'bar', 'Foo should return bar')
```

--------------------------------

### Gut InputSender with Input as receiver - setup and test example

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Mocking-Input.html

Declare the InputSender at class level, release and clear it in after_each, and await before asserting. This ensures Input doesn't retain button states and objects process the frame.

```GDScript
var _sender = InputSender.new(Input)

func after_each():
    _sender.release_all()
    _sender.clear()

func test_shoot():
    var player = Player.new()

    _sender.action_down("shoot").wait_frames(1)
    await(_sender.idle)

    assert_true(player.is_shooting())
```

--------------------------------

### Pre-run hook script to connect to start_test signal

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Global-Lifecycle-Hooks.html

Example of a pre-run hook script that connects a custom function to the gut.start_test signal. The _on_test_started function will be called before every test method in every test script, allowing you to define global setup logic once.

```gdscript
extends GutHookScript

func run():
    gut.start_test.connect(_on_test_started)

func _on_test_started(test_name):
    # setup logic run before every test in every test script goes here
```

--------------------------------

### Simple GutTest Example Script

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/class_ref/class_guttest.html

Shows the basic structure of a GUT test script extending GutTest, including lifecycle hooks (before_all, before_each, after_each, after_all) and example assertions using assert_eq.

```GDScript
extends GutTest

func before_all():
    gut.p("before_all called"

func before_each():
    gut.p("before_each called")

func after_each():
    gut.p("after_each called")

func after_all():
    gut.p("after_all called")

func test_assert_eq_letters():
    assert_eq("asdf", "asdf", "Should pass")

func test_assert_eq_number_not_equal():
    assert_eq(1, 2, "Should fail.  1 != 2")
```

--------------------------------

### GUT orphan list example

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Memory-Management.html

Example output showing orphans created in tests, with node names, string representations, and descendant counts.

```plaintext
* test_this_makes_two_orphans
    2 Orphans
        * test_two_one:<Node#59944994582>
        * test_two_two:<Node#59961771799>

### Example of using simulate with _process and _physics_process

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Simulate.html

This example shows how to use gut.simulate to call _process and _physics_process on a tree of objects. It includes two custom objects and a test that verifies the methods are called. Note that nodes must be added to the tree (e.g., with add_child_autofree) to be processed by default.

```GDScript
# --------------------------------
# res://scripts/my_object.gd
# --------------------------------
extends Node2D
  var a_number = 1

  func _process(delta):
    a_number += 1

# --------------------------------
# res://scripts/another_object.gd
# --------------------------------
extends Node2D
  var another_number = 1

  func _physics_process(delta):
    another_number += 1

# --------------------------------
# res://test/unit/test_my_object.gd
# --------------------------------

# ...

var MyObject = load('res://scripts/my_object.gd')
var AnotherObject = load('res://scripts/another_object')

# ...

# Given that SomeCoolObj has a _process method that increments a_number by 1
# each time _process is called, and that the number starts at 0, this test
# should pass
func test_does_something_each_loop():
  var my_obj = MyObject.new()
  add_child_autofree(my_obj)
  gut.simulate(my_obj, 20, .1)
  assert_eq(my_obj.a_number, 20, 'Since a_number is incremented in _process, it should be 20 now')

# Let us also assume that AnotherObj acts exactly the same way as
# but has SomeCoolObj but has a _physics_process method instead of
# _process.  In that case, this test will pass too since all child objects
# have the _process or _physics_process method called.
func test_does_something_each_loop():
  var my_obj = MyObject.new()
  var other_obj = AnotherObj.new()

  add_child_autofree(my_obj)
  my_obj.add_child(other_obj)

  gut.simulate(my_obj, 20, .1)

  assert_eq(my_obj.a_number, 20, 'Since a_number is incremented in _process, \
                                  it should be 20 now')
  assert_eq(other_obj.another_number, 20, 'Since other_obj is a child of my_obj \
                                           and another_number is incremented in \
                                           _physics_process then it should be 20 now')
```

### Double Singleton Example: Test Script

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/class_ref/class_guttest.html

Shows how to create a partial double of the Time singleton and inject it into an instance of UsesTime. This is the test script part of the double_singleton example.

```GDScript
extends GutTest
func test_something():
    var dbl_time = partial_double_singleton(Time).new()
    var inst = UsesTime.new()
    inst.t = dbl_time
```

--------------------------------

### UsesTime class using Time singleton

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Doubling-Singletons.html

Example class that uses the Time singleton via a local reference (t) so it can be injected with a double. Includes start() and end() methods that use get_ticks_msec and get_date_dict_from_system.

```GDScript
class_name UsesTime

# Must have a reference to Engine Singleton that we can
# inject our double into.
var t := Time

var _start_time = -1
func start():
    _start_time = t.get_ticks_msec()

func end():
    var monday_extra = 0
    if(t.get_date_dict_from_system().weekday == t.WEEKDAY_MONDAY):
        monday_extra = 10
    return t.get_ticks_msec() - _start_time + monday_extra
```

--------------------------------

### Example script res://foo.gd

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Partial-Doubles.html

A sample script used to demonstrate partial doubles. It has a _value variable and set_value/get_value methods.

```gdscript
# res://foo.gd
extends Node2D

var _value = 10

func set_value(val):
  _value = val

func get_value():
  return _value
```

--------------------------------

### Static Method Doubling Error Example

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Doubles.html

Example error message shown when trying to double a class with a static method. GUT cannot detect static methods, so this error occurs.

```Plain Text
Parser Error: Function signature doesn't match the parent. Parent signature is: 'Variant foo()'.
```

```gdscript
var Foo = load('res://script.gd')

func test_things():
  var partial = partial_double(Foo).new()
  stub(partial, 'set_value').to_do_nothing()
  partial.set_value(20) # stubbed so implementation bypassed.

  # since set_value was stubbed, and get_value was not, and since
  # this is a partial stub, then the original functionality of
  # get_value will be executed and _value is returned.
  assert_eq(partial.get_value(), 10)
  # unstubbed partial methods can be spied on.
  assert_called(partial, 'get_value')
  # stubbed methods can be spied on as well

### get_errors() example: inspect and handle errors

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/class_ref/class_guttest.html

Shows how to use get_errors() to retrieve all errors generated by the test. Each error is a GutTrackedError; setting its handled property prevents it from causing test failure. The example marks all errors as handled after inspecting them.

```GDScript
func divide_them(a, b):
    return a / b

func test_with_script_error():
    divide_them('one', 44)
    push_error('this is a push error')
    var errs = get_errors()
    assert_eq(errs.size(), 2, 'expected error count')

    # Maybe inspect some properties of the errors here.

    # Mark all the errors as handled.
    for e in errs:
        e.handled = true
```

--------------------------------

### assert_push_error() example

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/class_ref/class_guttest.html

Asserts that a single push error containing the given text (case insensitive) was generated. If found, the assert passes and the test will not fail from that push_error. Each error can only be asserted against once. The example shows asserting for one error and for multiple errors.

```GDScript
func test_push_error_text():
    push_error("SpecialText")
    assert_push_error("CIALtex")

func test_push_error_multiple_texts():
    push_error("Error One")

    assert_push_error("one")
    assert_push_error("two")
```

--------------------------------

### GDScript: Test shooting with InputSender

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Mocking-Input.html

Creates a Player instance and an InputSender, sends an action_down event for 'shoot', and asserts the player is shooting. Recommended to create a new InputSender per test to avoid state retention.

```GDScript
func test_shoot():
    var player = Player.new()
    var sender = InputSender.new(player)

    sender.action_down("shoot")
    assert_true(player.is_shooting())
```

--------------------------------

### assert_engine_error() example

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/class_ref/class_guttest.html

Asserts that a single engine error containing the given text (case insensitive) was generated. If found, the assert passes and the test will not fail from that error. Each error can only be asserted against once. The example shows asserting for one error and for multiple errors.

```GDScript
func divide_them(a, b):
    return a / b

func test_asserting_engine_error_text():
    divide_them('word', 91)
    assert_engine_error('invalid operands')

func test_asserting_multipe_engine_error_texts():
    divide_them('foo', Node)
    divide_them(1729, 0)
    assert_engine_error('Division by zero')
    assert_engine_error('invalid operands')
```

```

--------------------------------

### assert_engine_error_count() example

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/class_ref/class_guttest.html

Asserts the number of engine errors generated by the test. Each error can only be asserted against once; attempting to assert the same error twice will fail. The example shows a passing test, a test with zero errors, and a failing test that tries to count the same error twice.

```GDScript
func divide_them(a, b):
    return a / b

func test_asserting_engine_error_count():
    divide_them('one', 44)
    assert_engine_error_count(1, "expecing a script error")

func test_no_errors():
    assert_engine_error_count(0, 'should be no errors here')

func test_this_fails_cannot_assert_an_error_twice():
    divide_them('one', 44)
    assert_engine_error_count(1, "expecing a script error")
    # this assert will fail because we already counted it.
    assert_engine_error_count(1, "expecing a script error")
```

--------------------------------

### wait_until usage examples

Source: https://gut.readthedocs.io/en/v9.7.1/Awaiting.html

Examples showing how to use wait_until with a callable, optional message, and optional wait interval. The callable must return true (not a truthy value). The method returns true if the callable returned true before timeout, false otherwise.

```gdscript
var everything_is_ok = func():
	return true

# Call everything_is_ok every frame until it returns true or 5 seconds elapses
await wait_until(everything_is_ok, 5)

# Same as above but we get the result to use later and provide a message to
# display when the await starts.
var result = await wait_until(everything_is_ok, 5, 'Show this message')

# Calls everything_is_ok every second until it returns true and asserts
# on the returned value
assert_true(await wait_until(everything_is_ok, 10, 1),
	"Everything should be ok in 10 seconds").
```
