googletest

I'm a bit confused about where the unit tests should be. All the documentation leads me to believe that I must create a Test Project. REALLY? With JUnit we just created a Test package (folder) inside our application project and the tests would run with every build. I'm new to C++ and trying to figure out how Google Test works. I've found a lot of really good questions and answers here on SO and Yes I have read the Google Test documentation but I'm still confused about this one thing: Can I create a subfolder in my project with all my unit tests, such that they will execute with each build? If

I am using following example from here Consider I have following class #include <iostream> class Distance { private: int feet; int inches; public: Distance() : feet(), inches() {} Distance(int f, int i) : feet(f), inches(i) {} friend std::ostream &operator<<( std::ostream &output, const Distance &D ) { output << "F : " << D.feet << " I : " << D.inches; return output; } friend std::istream &operator>>( std::istream &input, Distance &D ) { input >> D.feet >> D.inches; return input; } }; I am using Gtest to test this class. But I could not find better way to test it. I can use the macro provided

It's the first time I want to use unit tests in my c++ project. Hence I've many existing classes for which I will write tests (at least for some of them). Further, the application has of course a main() function. I'm using qt creator with qmake but could also switch to cmake. The project, qt creator and qmake are working nicely. My confusion is now how do I add unit test? I intent to use googletest. I've already run a test in a new project, testing some dummy add(int, int) function, with everything in one file (function, tests and main). How does that work with an existing project (which has

I have a set of unit tests using gtest as framework. Build, and execute, and the output looks like this : I'd like to have the output similar to the output when using cxxunit ( . when test pass, detail error when it fails). If possibly, with colors. How to do this? If I wasn't clear, I am looking for code and exact way how to do this. The output should be something like : Executing dummy_tests ..... ../code/app/unit_tests/unittest_dummy.cpp:25: Failure Value of: 2 Expected: 1 .. FAILED I am trying to use this example and create custom listener. But the example doesn't have colorful output, and

I'm looking for something similar to the ASSERT_EQ / ASSERT_NE for ASSERT_DOUBLE_EQ. Maybe I'm missing an easy way of doing this without having a ASSERT_DOUBLE_NE? You can use the companion mocking framework Google Mock. It has a powerful library of matchers (a la Hamcrest), which you can use with the EXPECT_THAT/ASSERT_THAT macros: EXPECT_THAT(value, FloatEq(1)); EXPECT_THAT(another_value, Not(DoubleEq(3.14))); It looks like you're out of luck. However, you could add one yourself. I built the following code using ASSERT_DOUBLE_EQ and ASSERT_NE as a pattern. #define ASSERT_DOUBLE_NE(expected,

I'm having a rather strange problem telling googletest to print a certain class the way I want using PrintTo. The class is a very simple 2D point, it is in a namespace and the PrintTo function is in the same namespace. In fact, I have a derived class (a 3D point) which prints perfectly. Here's some code for the tests and PrintTo functions (namespace name edited, but everything else is copied and pasted from the actual code): // PrintTo Functions namespace MyNamespace { void PrintTo(const MyNamespace::CPunto2D& pto, ::std::ostream* os) { *os << "("; *os << pto.X(); *os << ","; *os << pto.Y();

I'm trying to do some semi test driven design, and occasionally when I implement a new feature, it will have an exception somewhere. All gtest tells me is what the exception is, and does not give me any backtrace information. If I run gdb --args --gtest_catch_exceptions=0, it will stop at the test with the exception but not have any backtrace information. It simply states: [ RUN ] TESTNAME.test_case EXCEPTION: exception description[Inferior 1 (process 30528) exited with code 0377] (gdb) bt No stack. Use catch throw gdb command to set special breakpoint before your exception is thrown. When it

I am trying to figure out how to run Google Test against my C++ project using CMake. So far I have created a project called Simple and a Google Test project called SimpleTest. For the Simple Project Here's my CMakeLists.txt file: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.4) project(Simple) set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11") set(SOURCE_FILES main.cpp NewCppClass.cpp NewCppClass.h) add_executable(Simple ${SOURCE_FILES}) Here's my main.cpp file: #include <iostream> #include "NewCppClass.h" using namespace std; int main() { NewCppClass newCppClass; int i = newCppClass.getNumberToTest();
