Bug#1037164: libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5: wxwidgets not built with XTest support (libxtst6)

Show all headers | View raw

Package: libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
Version: 3.0.5.1+dfsg-2
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Testing a wxPython application on a Raspberry Pi (based on Debian
Bullseye), it was discovered that the wx.UIActionSimulator [0] class
did not produce any input there, as opposed to it working on a Guix
System.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I researched the problem and found that the feature I wanted was implemented 
using XTest, which is detected at wxWidgets' build time [1].  Looking at the Debian
package dependencies, I found it did *not* depend on the libxtst6 package.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

This bug/wishlist report.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

wx.UIActionSimulator from wxPython/wxWidgets should produce key inputs
instead of nothing.  It should work like it does on Guix System.
