Gallery: Post your projects/videos or simple feedback of using Test Engine

[ocornut]

Unlike the main library I am not expecting much traffic here but it'd be nice to get some videos of tests running in some projects. Otherwise feel free to simply post general feedback of using the Test Engine (for specific request or bug report please open an issue).

I currently have the tests running in two different modes in vengi voxel tools:

1. Headless Mode I still need to implement a proper null backend to support running in pipelines where opening a window isn’t possible. For now, it’s simulated by simply hiding the created window.

2. Integrated into the Application(s)

This is an excellent tool for UI testing - thanks a lot! The most time-consuming part when writing tests is usually identifying the correct IDs for node lookups. The hover tools that display IDs are already very helpful, but navigating deeper into child elements or complex hierarchies can still be a bit tricky.

Aside from that, the imgui_test_engine is yet another reason why DearImGui is such a fantastic framework.

You can find my test implementations here: https://github.com/vengi-voxel/vengi/tree/master/src/tools/voxedit/modules/voxedit-ui/tests

This is something I am hoping to improve/simplify further as I realize it gets tricky. Specifically for Tables see my answer in #53.
