How to run specific test cases in GoogleTest

Question

I am trying to write a function/method for my project, which will ask to user which all test cases are you going to run? It looks like below...,

Test_Cases_1         


        

Answer 1

You could use advanced options to run Google tests.

To run only some unit tests you could use --gtest_filter=Test_Cases1* command line option with value that accepts the * and ? wildcards for matching with multiple tests. I think it will solve your problem.

UPD:

Well, the question was how to run specific test cases. Integration of gtest with your GUI is another thing, which I can't really comment, because you didn't provide details of your approach. However I believe the following approach might be a good start:

1. Get all testcases by running tests with --gtest_list_tests
2. Parse this data into your GUI
3. Select test cases you want ro run
4. Run test executable with option --gtest_filter
