GSoC work report - Week 10

I first worked on adding logs for more events. The selection of symbols from "element_selector" in the math app now gets logged. Also, the selection of objects now gets logged in the writer, calc and impress. The patch is here - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/57368/
I also worked on changing from multiple functions for logging to one generic function logEvent in the same patch.

Additionally, I also did some work for adding support of sending parameters in executeCommand function of the UI testing framework. The progress can be seen here - https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/57857/

An overview of how UI logging works in LibreOffice

Logging in LibreOffice is mainly handled by a class called UITestLogger, defined here . The logger class logs the user actions only if the member flag mbValid is set to true. The flag can be turned on by setting the environment variable LO_COLLECT_UIINFO to a file name where the logs should be collected (see the constructor of UITestLogger, defined here ). We maintain a pointer to an instance of UITestLogger class here . To use the logger object, the static function getInstance can be used to get access to the pointer. The function logAction, defined in the same class, is used to log events from the classes which extend the class vcl::Control. The log statements corresponding to a particular class can be found in the function get_action of the UI wrapper classes. Most of the wrapper classes can be found with this OpenGrok search. The log statements get generated when VCL events get broadcasted. A list of the VCL events can be found in the enum class VclEventId here . ...

Things to know if you are a new contributor to LibreOffice code

When I began contributing code to LibreOffice, I faced some issues because I didn't know several facts that the other active contributors knew. This blog post summarizes some of those facts, and I hope it will be useful for other new contributors! 1) The data types LibreOffice code uses - If you have already browsed through the codebase of LibreOffice, you might have realized that the code doesn't generally use data types like int, float, double, et cetera like we use in small C++ programs. LibreOffice has its own classes, typedefs and structs defined and most of the code use them instead of the trivial data types. Some of those are OUString (instead of string), sal_uInt32 (instead of unsigned int), etc.

GSoC final report - UI logger

Overview The idea of this GSoC project was to implement a feature which logs the interaction of users with the UI elements in an interpretable Domain Specific Language (DSL), and an interpreter which converts the log into a file into something which will help in replaying the user actions. The project involved working with the UI elements and the UI testing framework of LibreOffice. Achievements The logger - The logging for the following is currently supported - The UI elements of Visual Component Library like Buttons, Checkboxes, Radio-buttons, Listboxes, Comboboxes, Spinbuttons, etc. Keys pressed in different UI elements UNO commands sent with parameters Selection of Objects Opening of Sidebar/Deck Some application-specific events can also be logged - Writer - Goto Page, Set Zoom, Text Selection Calc - Autofilter Launch, Selection of cells/range of cells, Switching of Sheet Math - Selection of elements from the element selector panel Impress - Set Zoom Addi...
