buffer_straw_get_buffer(bin: Element, pad: Pad) → Buffer#

Get one buffer from pad. Implemented via buffer probes. This function will block until the pipeline passes a buffer over pad, so for robust behavior in unit tests, you need to use check’s timeout to fail out in the case that a buffer never arrives.

You must have previously called buffer_straw_start_pipeline() on pipeline and pad.

Parameters:

bin – the pipeline previously started via buffer_straw_start_pipeline()
pad – the pad previously passed to buffer_straw_start_pipeline()

Returns:

the captured Buffer.

buffer_straw_start_pipeline(bin: Element, pad: Pad) → None#

Sets up a pipeline for buffer sucking. This will allow you to call buffer_straw_get_buffer() to access buffers as they pass over pad.

This function is normally used in unit tests that want to verify that a particular element is outputting correct buffers. For example, you would make a pipeline via parse_launch(), pull out the pad you want to monitor, then call buffer_straw_get_buffer() to get the buffers that pass through pad. The pipeline will block until you have sucked off the buffers.

This function will set the state of bin to PLAYING; to clean up, be sure to call buffer_straw_stop_pipeline().

Note that you may not start two buffer straws at the same time. This function is intended for unit tests, not general API use. In fact it calls fail_if from libcheck, so you cannot use it outside unit tests.

Parameters:

bin – the pipeline to run
pad – a pad on an element in bin

buffer_straw_stop_pipeline(bin: Element, pad: Pad) → None#

Set bin to GST_STATE_NULL and release resource allocated in buffer_straw_start_pipeline().

You must have previously called buffer_straw_start_pipeline() on pipeline and pad.

Parameters:

bin – the pipeline previously started via buffer_straw_start_pipeline()
pad – the pad previously passed to buffer_straw_start_pipeline()

check_abi_list(list: CheckABIStruct, have_abi_sizes: bool) → None#

Verifies that reference values and current values are equals in list.

Parameters:

list – A list of GstCheckABIStruct to be verified
have_abi_sizes – Whether there is a reference ABI size already specified, if it is False and the GST_ABI environment variable is set, usable code for list will be printed.

check_buffer_data(buffer: Buffer, data: Any, size: int) → None#

Compare the buffer contents with data and size.

Parameters:

buffer – buffer to compare
data – data to compare to
size – size of data to compare

check_caps_equal(caps1: Caps, caps2: Caps) → None#

Compare two caps with gst_caps_is_equal and fail unless they are equal.

Parameters:

caps1 – first caps to compare
caps2 – second caps to compare

check_chain_func(pad: Pad, parent: Object, buffer: Buffer) → FlowReturn#

A fake chain function that appends the buffer to the internal list of buffers.

Parameters:

pad
parent
buffer

check_clear_log_filter() → None#

Clear all filters added by gst_check_add_log_filter.

MT safe.

Added in version 1.12.

check_drop_buffers() → None#: Unref and remove all buffers that are in the global buffers GList, emptying the list.

check_element_push_buffer(element_name: str, buffer_in: Buffer, caps_in: Caps, buffer_out: Buffer, caps_out: Caps) → None#

Create an element using the factory providing the element_name and push the buffer_in to this element. The element should create one buffer and this will be compared with buffer_out. We only check the caps and the data of the buffers. This function unrefs the buffers.

Parameters:

element_name – name of the element that needs to be created
buffer_in – push this buffer to the element
caps_in – the Caps expected of the sinkpad of the element
buffer_out – compare the result with this buffer
caps_out – the Caps expected of the srcpad of the element

check_element_push_buffer_list(element_name: str, buffer_in: list[Buffer], caps_in: Caps, buffer_out: list[Buffer], caps_out: Caps, last_flow_return: FlowReturn) → None#

Create an element using the factory providing the element_name and push the buffers in buffer_in to this element. The element should create the buffers equal to the buffers in buffer_out. We only check the size and the data of the buffers. This function unrefs the buffers in the two lists. The last_flow_return parameter indicates the expected flow return value from pushing the final buffer in the list. This can be used to set up a test which pushes some buffers and then an invalid buffer, when the final buffer is expected to fail, for example.

Parameters:

element_name – name of the element that needs to be created
buffer_in – a list of buffers that needs to be pushed to the element
caps_in – the Caps expected of the sinkpad of the element
buffer_out – a list of buffers that we expect from the element
caps_out – the Caps expected of the srcpad of the element
last_flow_return – the last buffer push needs to give this GstFlowReturn

check_setup_events(srcpad: Pad, element: Element, caps: Caps | None, format: Format) → None#

Push stream-start, caps and segment event, which consist of the minimum required events to allow streaming. Caps is optional to allow raw src testing. If element has more than one src or sink pad, use check_setup_events_with_stream_id() instead.

element – The Element use to create the stream id
caps – Caps in case caps event must be sent
format – The Format of the default segment to send

check_setup_events_with_stream_id(srcpad: Pad, element: Element, caps: Caps | None, format: Format, stream_id: str) → None#

Push stream-start, caps and segment event, which consist of the minimum required events to allow streaming. Caps is optional to allow raw src testing.

Parameters:

srcpad – The src Pad to push on
element – The Element use to create the stream id
caps – Caps in case caps event must be sent
format – The Format of the default segment to send
stream_id – A unique identifier for the stream

check_setup_sink_pad_by_name(element: Element, tmpl: StaticPadTemplate, name: str) → Pad#

Parameters:

element – element to setup pad on
tmpl – pad template
name – Name of the element src pad that will be linked to the sink pad that will be setup

Returns:

check_setup_src_pad_by_name(element: Element, tmpl: StaticPadTemplate, name: str) → Pad#

Creates a new src pad (based on the given tmpl) and links it to the given element sink pad (the pad that matches the given name). Before using the src pad to push data on element you need to call gst_check_setup_events on the created src pad.

Example of how to push a buffer on element:

static GstStaticPadTemplate sinktemplate = GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE ("sink",
GST_PAD_SINK,
GST_PAD_ALWAYS,
GST_STATIC_CAPS (YOUR_CAPS_TEMPLATE_STRING)
);
static GstStaticPadTemplate srctemplate = GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE ("src",
GST_PAD_SRC,
GST_PAD_ALWAYS,
GST_STATIC_CAPS (YOUR_CAPS_TEMPLATE_STRING)
);

GstElement * element = gst_check_setup_element ("element");
GstPad * mysrcpad = gst_check_setup_src_pad (element, &srctemplate);
GstPad * mysinkpad = gst_check_setup_sink_pad (element, &sinktemplate);

gst_pad_set_active (mysrcpad, TRUE);
gst_pad_set_active (mysinkpad, TRUE);
fail_unless (gst_element_set_state (element, GST_STATE_PLAYING) == GST_STATE_CHANGE_SUCCESS, "could not set to playing");

GstCaps * caps = gst_caps_from_string (YOUR_DESIRED_SINK_CAPS);
gst_check_setup_events (mysrcpad, element, caps, GST_FORMAT_TIME);
gst_caps_unref (caps);

fail_unless (gst_pad_push (mysrcpad, gst_buffer_new_and_alloc(2)) == GST_FLOW_OK);
