invisible | Override methods | Application Framework library

I've started to create UI tests for my PyQt5 widgets using QtTest but have run into the following difficulties:

• In order to speed up things, some of my widgets only perform operations when visible. As it seems that QtTest runs with invisible widgets, the corresponding tests fail.

• For the same reason, I cannot test program logic that makes a subwidget visible under certain conditions.

Is there a way to make widgets visible during test? Is this good practice (e.g. w.r.t. CI test on GitHub) and is QtTest the way to go?

I have tried to use pytest with pytest-qt without success as I couldn't find a proper introduction or tutorial and I do know "Test PyQt GUIs with QTest and unittest".

Below you find a MWE consisting of a widget mwe_qt_widget.MyWidget with a combobox, a pushbutton and a label that gets updated by the other two subwidgets:

I have a tab button that handles the chatbox functionality. By default it is closed and when clicked, expands into the chat box. When it is closed all the buttons around it work as intended, however, when expanded the buttons above it can no longer be clicked like there is a invisible div over them.

Here I will provide the pictures of what I am describing and the corresponding code.

Closed(plus sign button working correctly)

Opened(plus sign button no longer working)

So I am relatively new to programming, and I have been working on this task app, where I want to save the data such as task name and more, given by the user. I am trying to accomplish this using Room. Now, initially, when I tried to do it, the app would crash since I was doing everything on the main thread probably. So, after a little research, I came to AsyncTask, but that is outdated. Now finally I have come across the Executer. I created a class for it, but I am a little unsure as to how I can implement it in my app. This is what I did :

My bot is not responding to any commands except for the .purge command.
Here is my code.

I'm trying to implement an executorService to delete a huge Firebase node in background. This node gets a new record every ten seconds to feed a realtime linear graphic (259Krecords/month). The users need a function to clean the data from time to timen and they need to trigger it manually on demand.

I've coded the method below:

I explain the situation, I made an algo that displays the shortest path through all the points, this algo takes a little time to run that's why I wanted to set up a progress bar to induce the user of the application has not frozen but is performing a calculation, To do this I simply created a layout with a progress bar but when I execute the code nothing is displayed (the layout) but the result of my algo is displayed, is there a command to display it?

I'm trying to show all user posts that the user who is using the app follows, and I'm using Firestore. I take all the ids and put them on an arraylist and build a query. I am using FirebaseRecyclerView but I have this error:

I have a model form that creates a new job entry, and on submission, I need an invisible field job_time_estimation to be set to a sum of 'service_stats_estimate_duration' values from ServiceItemStats objects associated with the JobEntry by a many-to-many relationship when submitting the form.

For example, if in my NewJobEntryForm I chose two existing ServiceItemStats objects that have service_stats_estimate_duration values 60 and 90, on submission, I want a value 150 to be saved in that JobEntry object's job_time_estimation attribute.

I tried doing this using aggregation by defining a save() method in the model but I am getting an error "name 'serviceItemStats' is not defined".

I am not sure if I am going about this the right way. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to do a tree menu but I have a function in my component that will either show the element or hide it. since i'm generating it with the tree I cannot give every element different function, so I have the data model as it's shown in the tutorial for mat tree where I have the function as a string therefor node.function but this doesn't work. How do I make it work? Also i cannot access the function because it's in a different component from where i'm exporting the data.
