CppUnit - C++ port of JUnit / Discussion / Open Discussion: CppUnit with Visual Studio .NET?

Anonymous - 2002-01-31

Anyone managed to build or use CppUnit with Visual Studio .NET?

I tried following the Visual C++ 6 instructions but didn't get very far ...

    John,
    
    Do you happen to be aware of a similar article to the one you posted?

    Doesn't exist anymore.
    
    TIA.

    Nevermind. I was receiving a bunch of errors (see below) after trying to compile all the examples, so I just renamed
    testrunnerud.lib to testrunnerd.lib, testrunnerud.dll to testrunnerd.dll and cppunitd_dll.dll to cppunit_dll.dll, and then Visual Studio .NET 2005 compiled everything fine.

      The above compilation which worked was from loading the examples.dsw file. When I opened the CppUnitLibraries.dsw, with the output of compilation being given below. Does anyone have any ideas as to why I am receiving "error C1104: fatal error importing libid"?

  My biggest problem with cppunit under .NET was that I had to remove the dependencies on DSPlugIn.
  
  I'll have to dig somewhere to find out how to create an add-in for Visual .NET that will allow me to link to the line number.
  
  The other problem is that I can't create a shared library of my test cases. On the forums, someone mentionnned that he modified cppunit to do so. Hopefully, I'll send this as a patch so we can all use it :)

  CppUnit assistance
  
  I also came across a webpage by John Lam that may be useful. I believe it is specifically concerned with an earlier version of cppunit, but I found it useful to get cppunit to compile/link with visual c++.
  
  http://www.iunknown.com/Articles/fog0000000025.html
  
  I put together something similar that may be useful for ver 1.8.0. There is a very simple, barebones vc6 full project that updates the "cookbook" example for vc6 that used a Complex class. It has the settings all predone and can serve as a template. It is assumed to be 'installed' at:
  <cppunit_home>\exmaples\msvc6\ComplexVc6Cookbook.
  
  The vc6 project (including .dsw, .dsp, .cpp, and .exe) is available directly from:
  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/inverse/ComplexVc6Cookbook.zip
  or:
  http://home.att.net/~bibleinverse/Misc/ComplexVc6Cookbook.zip
  
  There is also a somewhat fuller example using a simple Employee class. The included .dsw and .dsp already have the settings for resolving includes, libs, and dll's. It is assumed to be 'installed' at:
  <cppunit_home>\exmaples\msvc6\EmpVc6Cookbook.
  
  The vc6 project (.dsw, .dsp, .cpp, and .exe) is available directly from:
  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/inverse/EmpVc6Cookbook.zip
  or:
  http://home.att.net/~bibleinverse/Misc/EmpVc6Cookbook.zip
  
  There is yet another example with a less simple Employee class. It was actually written to document a possible flaw in cppunit, but can also serve as a vc6 example. Realize there is some flaky/confusing code in it that illustrate which 'handler' is called by the cppunit framework.
  
  This Employee class has std::strings for _firstname and _lastname. Equality is considered having the first and last names being the same, without case sensitivity. Therefore, a 'deep' compare is required for CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL rather than a shallow compare of whether the pointers are the same.
  
  This vc6 project (including .dsw, .dsp, .cpp, and .exe) has the settings for includes, multi-thread dll's, and .lib. It assumes that it is installed at:
  <cppunit_home>\examples\msvc6\Emp_Vc6
  
  It is available directly at:
  http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/inverse/CppUnit_EmpVc6_5.zip
  or:
  http://home.att.net/~bibleinverse/Misc/CppUnit_EmpVc6_5.zip
