How to test an EXE with Google Test?

Question

I have a C++ project in Visual Studio, and have added another project exclusively for testing. Both of these projects are EXEs (console apps). So how do I use the first proj

Answer 1

If you want to test a console app you can run a test that opens a console window and run the exe file of the first app. Then in your googletest catch the standard output from the exe you just ran.

[For more control over the first app you might need to have the first app parse arguments sent to it, e.g. some flags like -x or what ever you need.]
