- * FIXME: <QtTest/QtTestGui> requires QT_WIDGETS_LIB to be defined prior
- * inclusion to export the QtTest::keyClicks symbol.
- * On some older Qt versions the definition end up being set by the inclusion of
- * <QtTest/QtTestWidgets>.
- * This only occurs when building with autotools, as QMake and CMake define
- * QT_WIDGETS_LIB on the command line. As a workaround for autotools,
- * <QtTest/QtTestWidgets> should be included before <QtTest/QtTestGui>.
- * Also prevent the linter from sorting the includes.
