*
* A helper class for testing code which uses D-Bus without touching the user's
* session bus.

* <title>Creating unit tests using GTestDBus</title>
* <para>
* Testing of D-Bus services can be tricky because normally we only ever run
* D-Bus services over an existing instance of the D-Bus daemon thus we
* usually don't activate D-Bus services that are not yet installed into the
* target system. The #GTestDBus object makes this easier for us by taking care
* of the lower level tasks such as running a private D-Bus daemon and looking
* up uninstalled services in customizable locations, typically in your source code tree.
* </para>
* <para>
* The first thing you will need is a separate service description file for the
* D-Bus daemon. Typically a 'services' subdirectory of your 'tests' directory
* is a good place to put this file.
* </para>
* <para>
* The service file should list your service along with an absolute path to the
* uninstalled service executable in your source tree. Using autotools we would
* achieve this by adding a file such as 'my-server.service.in' in the services
* directory and have it processed by configure.
* <informalexample><programlisting>
* [D-BUS Service]
* Name=org.gtk.GDBus.Examples.ObjectManager
* Exec=@abs_top_builddir@/gio/tests/gdbus-example-objectmanager-server
* </programlisting></informalexample>
* You will also need to indicate this service directory in your test
* fixtures, so you will need to pass the path while compiling your
* test cases. Typically this is done with autotools with an added
* preprocessor flag specified to compile your tests such as:
* <informalexample><programlisting>
* -DTEST_SERVICES=\""$(abs_top_builddir)/tests/services"\"
* </programlisting></informalexample>
* </para>
* <para>
* Once you have a service definition file which is local to your source tree,
* you can proceed to setup a GTest fixture using the GTestDBus scaffolding.
* <example id="gdbus-test-fixture">
* <title>Test Fixture for D-Bus services</title>
* <programlisting>
* <xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" parse="text" href="../../../../gio/tests/gdbus-test-fixture.c">
* <xi:fallback>FIXME: MISSING XINCLUDE CONTENT</xi:fallback>
* </xi:include>
* </programlisting>
* </example>
* </para>
* <para>
* Note that these examples only deal with isolating the D-Bus aspect of your
* service. To successfully run isolated unit tests on your service you may need
* some additional modifications to your test case fixture. For example; if your
* service uses GSettings and installs a schema then it is important that your test service
* not load the schema in the ordinary installed location (chances are that your service
* and schema files are not yet installed, or worse; there is an older version of the
* schema file sitting in the install location).
* </para>
* <para>
* Most of the time we can work around these obstacles using the environment. Since the
* environment is inherited by the D-Bus daemon created by GTestDBus and then in turn
* inherited by any services the D-Bus daemon activates, using the setup routine for your
* fixture is a practical place to help sandbox your runtime environment. For the rather
* typical GSettings case we can work around this by setting GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR to the
* in tree directory holding your schemas in the above fixture_setup() routine.
* </para>
* <para>
* The GSettings schemas need to be locally pre-compiled for this to work. This can be achieved
* by compiling the schemas locally as a step before running test cases, an autotools setup might
* do the following in the directory holding schemas:
* <informalexample><programlisting>
* all-am:
* $(GLIB_COMPILE_SCHEMAS) .
*
* CLEANFILES += gschemas.compiled
* </programlisting></informalexample>
* </para>
* </refsect2>
