<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578964 by <a href="/recipes/users/4191139/">Stephen Rigden</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/invoke/">invoke</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/mainloop/">mainloop</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/mock/">mock</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/mocking/">mocking</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/tk/">tk</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/tkinter/">tkinter</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/unittest/">unittest</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/unittesting/">unittesting</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/unittests/">unittests</a>). Revision 7. </p> <p>This recipe addresses the problems encountered when building robust tests for Tk menus. The software under test is a simple window with two menu items that each invoke a one button dialog box. All user visible text is imported from an external config.ini file. This scenario can lead to fragile test code because of the way TK's invoke(index) command has been implemented. (Tcl8.6.3/Tk8.6.3.)</p>
