Support for mouse position/hover

[RAMAMario]

I stumbled upon the use-case where I need to check the correct behavior of the app under test when using mouse hover over an element (i.e. tooltips).
Is this planned and/or something of interest if I would implement it for my team?

Actually a bigger update is planned for the mouse commands, as they currently also only support clicking in the middle of an object and don't support any other positioning. I am not yet sure as to how I would like the API for this to look in the end and I think it needs some more planning to work for the different use cases.

If you want to go ahead with your implementation, one thing to look out for is that QtQuick can sometimes be a bit "slow" in detecting the mouse cursor. E.g. I found that just moving the mouse onto an object is not always detected, but once you move the cursor around within an object, it does get detected.
However, if you use the existing calls in scene/Qt/QtEvents, this is already accounted for in

spix/lib/src/Scene/Qt/QtEvents.cpp

Line 133 in 071eeba

// Wiggle the cursor a bit. This is needed to correctly recognize drag events

As a general rule, I like having separate Command classes defined for these types of things rather than reusing the GenericCommand with lambdas. So something like a new MoveMouse command would match the current design.

Thanks for the feedback. I have no immediate need (and allocated time), so I will not do anything anytime soon. Even more so, if you plan something bigger anyway.

Will close this issue, since this can be done with PyAutoGUI and system events now and I don't see a way to simulate a double-click purely by posting the right QEvent, which is how the non-PyAutoGUI part of Spix works.
