From the QApplication.postEvent docs:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qcoreapplication.html#postEvent
The event must be allocated on the heap since the post event queue
will take ownership of the event and delete it once it has been
posted. It is not safe to access the event after it has been posted.
We can't reliably guarantee that from Python, so we need to use
sendEvent instead.
With QtWebKit or QtWebEngine with Qt < 5.7, the functions end up in the
page's namespace. We can't easily avoid this, but at least we can name
them in a way which reduces conflicts.
webelem.javascript_escape got renamed to javascript.string_escape, and a
new javascript.assemble got added to make it easier to call a function
inside a .js file.
Running test_standarddir would pollute the user's home with
`~/.cache/qute_test`.
The `no_cachedir_tag` fixture was supposed to prevent this, but was not
working because [usefixtures does not work on fixtures]
(https://github.com/pytest-dev/pytest/issues/1014).
This fixes the fixture to actually prevent cachedir creation, but
applies it to tests individually (or by class) rather than with autouse
because the cachedir tests cannot pass if it is working.
Running the tests would create ~/.config/qute_test and
~/.local/share/qute_test on the user's machine. The test_standardir
module needed a bit more mocking to prevent it from cluttering the
user's machine.
Two tests that created the data dir were fixed by passing basedir in
args, and one test that created the config dir was fixed by patching
os.makedirs to a noop.
Per one of the diff comments on #1597:
> I used to use a tuple for constant things, but nowadays I'd actually
> prefer a list as a tuple is something more heterogeneous (i.e. it
> makes sense to have a `(x, y)` point as a tuple, but a list of points
> would be a list).
> At some point I should probably change it to a list everywhere 😉
