Missing organization name on qapp breaks tests with QSettings

[TilmanK]

I've stumbled across an issue this morning with running tests that use QSettings.

The qapp fixture does have a default value and a config setting for the application name. Nevertheless, it has none for the organization name. Both of them are required for QSettings to work (see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsettings.html#basic-usage).

I'm still not sure, what went wrong since the qapp fixture is requested in my tests AFTER I wrote values to QSettings in earlier fixtures, but when I add the organization name in the qapp fixture, my tests work. I need to figure this out. Anyway: Is there are reason, that a name is set for the application, but none for the organization?

Hi @TilmanK,

I'm still not sure, what went wrong since the qapp fixture is requested in my tests AFTER I wrote values to QSettings in earlier fixtures, but when I add the organization name in the qapp fixture, my tests work.

Not sure either, I personally never used QSettings so I couldn't say.

Anyway: Is there are reason, that a name is set for the application, but none for the organization?

Not that I'm aware of.

I am now. I've set the application name AFTER I ran some fixtures that already accessed QSettings.

Ok, I'd prepare a PR if you or anyone else doesn't have any obligation.

Looks like fc1faad doesn't have much context - I think the only reason I didn't do so is that I wasn't aware of anything which requires the organization name to be set. So please go ahead!
