checkSetupSrcPadByName

Creates a new src pad (based on the given tmpl) and links it to the given element sink pad (the pad that matches the given name). Before using the src pad to push data on element you need to call #gst_check_setup_events on the created src pad.

Example of how to push a buffer on element:

static GstStaticPadTemplate sinktemplate = GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE ("sink",
GST_PAD_SINK,
GST_PAD_ALWAYS,
GST_STATIC_CAPS (YOUR_CAPS_TEMPLATE_STRING)
);
static GstStaticPadTemplate srctemplate = GST_STATIC_PAD_TEMPLATE ("src",
GST_PAD_SRC,
GST_PAD_ALWAYS,
GST_STATIC_CAPS (YOUR_CAPS_TEMPLATE_STRING)
);

GstElement * element = gst_check_setup_element ("element");
GstPad * mysrcpad = gst_check_setup_src_pad (element, &srctemplate);
GstPad * mysinkpad = gst_check_setup_sink_pad (element, &sinktemplate);

gst_pad_set_active (mysrcpad, TRUE);
gst_pad_set_active (mysinkpad, TRUE);
fail_unless (gst_element_set_state (element, GST_STATE_PLAYING) == GST_STATE_CHANGE_SUCCESS, "could not set to playing");

GstCaps * caps = gst_caps_from_string (YOUR_DESIRED_SINK_CAPS);
gst_check_setup_events (mysrcpad, element, caps, GST_FORMAT_TIME);
gst_caps_unref (caps);

fail_unless (gst_pad_push (mysrcpad, gst_buffer_new_and_alloc(2)) == GST_FLOW_OK);

For very simple input/output test scenarios checkout #gst_check_element_push_buffer_list and #gst_check_element_push_buffer.
