Browsing on unit testing for cpp, I hoped there was
something similar to JUnit for cpp and indeed there
was! All had gone well, starting Eclipse, downloading
cppunit eclipse plugin from de eclipse update site and
bang! no new testcase could be created through
file->new->other.
Searching and searching for a solution I recognized the
error in the Eclipse error log. Now where to get the
sources of the cppunit plugin?
At first I thought it was the lack of the cppunit
framework not being installed on my windows xp laptop,
cause compiling that with gcc for windows has proven to
be very difficult (and it still does!).
Then I finally came to the option to download the
source code from Eclipse tools CVS repo. Checked out
the cppunit project and it told me to look elsewhere!
How amazing was that!? Then I finally checked out the
CVS project over here at sourceforge and found out that
this was version 2.0.0 of the plugin. The update site
still has 1.1.0 which probably only works with CDT <v 2
which needs Eclipse 2 because of its apache xerces parser.
Anyway, to conclude, please put version 2.0.0 of the
cppunit plugin on the Eclipse update site to prevent
more frustration or link it back here.
Now for compiling cppunit framework on windows with gcc
for windows, pfff.
