solved Test onPointerObservable

[Sudoku]

Hi 

i am trying to write some tests to check if the pointerevents are processed correctly,

but i have troubles triggering an onPointerObservable event.

 

this._scene.onPointerObservable.add(() => {
    this.doSomething();
}, BABYLON.PointerEventTypes.POINTERMOVE);

 

test doesn't call the soDomething() function:

const pointerevent = new MouseEvent('click', {clientX: 500, clientY: 500});

scene._onPointerMove(pointerevent, new PickingInfo(), PointerEventTypes.POINTERMOVE);

 

does someone have an idea what i am doing wrong?

For the doSomething() i just need pointerX and pointerY, i do not need the picking info

PG please, meanwhile have you checked the context, this looks like window to me.

onPointerMove is triggered only when smthg has been picked.

you could use onPrePointerObservable to ensure you ll be called on every move.

thanks for your answers!

the manual interaction with the observable works fine. this.doSomething() is called on every move actually as it seems, i printed some console statements to test that.

I had only troubles with writing automatic tests for the doSomething() code because i could not push an pointerevent into the observable - so it is difficult to write a PG for that.

 

but i FINALLY found out how to get my mouseevent in there

const pointerevent = new MouseEvent('click', {clientX: 500, clientY: 500});
scene.onPointerObservable.notifyObservers(pointerevent);

 

notifyObservers... it was too obvious ^^ .. well..

 

Thanks again, have a nice day!

but i am just realizing - pointerX and pointerY in the babylon scene are still not overwritten using that code. i would expect those values to be 500 but both are set to 0

this gets only updated from real pointer events on the window. In order to simulate the full behavior you could call scene._onPointerMove which takes pointer event (the window ones).
