[libcamera-devel,v1] test: gstreamer: Factor out code into a base class

13565 diff mbox series

Lot of code used in single stream test is boiler plate and common across
every gstreamer test. Factored out this code into a base class called
GstreamerTest.

Also updated the gstreamer_single_stream_test to use the GstreamerTest
base class

Indent looks wrong, did you enable the commit hooks ?

nit: Perhaps use a g_autoptr() instead ?

Move this in the destructor ? Note that gst_deinit() can only be run once per
process live-time. So if you have multiple test in the same process, make sure
this happens only once.

Personally, I would entirely defer this, and create a virtual func to create the
pipeline. This way test can use gst_parse_launch() instead of handcrafting test
pipelines.

To avoid this overhead, use local g_autoptr() and then blabla_ =
g_steal_pointer() to save it.

I peaked at the usage, and I'm not big fan, have you considered adding an init()
function with a proper return value? The C++ way is to use exception, not sure
what the libcamera project thinks about it.

As you already do this here, and destructor get called regardless if the
constructor worked or not, I think ou can remove all the duplicates in the
constructor.

Why not use a return value ?

Can we make the msgType a optional argument here ? IIRC C++ allow for default
value.

The method is called "wait_for_event", having it stop the pipeline is a bit
unexpected.
