[issue27922] Make IDLE tests less flashy

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: After doing away with most of the flashes, we started adding tests using key and mouse event_generate, which seemed to require a visible GUI. So the goal seems a lost cause. If I revisit, a new issue. -- status: open -> closed

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Using findleak.py, attached to #30642, modified to always print the filename, I discovered that test_parenmatch also flashes (along with test_searchbase). The leak test runs each test_xyz module 9 times, so is a good way to see flashing. Adding 'root.withdraw

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: It is more a matter of tradeoffs rather than 'okay'. There is no general pydev rule against gui flashing. The tk and ttk gui tests still do, but that is primarily Serhiy's concern. The IDLE tests are at most perhaps a third complete, so they would have become

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Thanks for the good detective work. The flash is always there, somewhere, though sometimes minimal. SearchBase.open begins with if not self.top: self.create_widgets() else: self.top.deiconify() self.top.tkra

Xiang Zhang added the comment: After some tries, I think it seems to be caused by the second open in test_open_and_close in SearchDialogBaseTest. The second open calls self.top.deiconify. -- ___ Python tracker __

Xiang Zhang added the comment: Hi Terry, I think this issue may be not completed. While running idlelib test with -ugui, I can sometimes still get a window flash. I think it's due to test_searchbase. Running python -m idlelib.idle_test.test_searchbase can reproduce the flash and adding withdra

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: This is also a follow-up to #27918. Importing test.support causes a flash in the process of testing whether tkinter/tk work. So I was never able to get IDLE tests to completely stop flashing. Adding 'root.withdraw' to test.support.__init__ solves the import

New submission from Terry J. Reedy: This issue follows-up on #27732, which suppressed beeps during IDLE tests, I want to also suppress the flashing of tk widget boxes, which has become visually obnoxious with the increasing number of tests. Adding root.withdraw() after root = Tk() solves the p
