how to get test name in setUp() method

[Anonymous]

I tried getName() and toString() function but it didn't work.

getName() returns the name of TestSuite, if one defined. null otherwise.

toString() returns name of the TestCase/TestSuite class.
Any ideas? how can I get the name of the CPPUNIT_TEST?

Thanks,
Kiran.

I'm not sure it works on your env, but try follows.
My env is solaris 5.7 and cppunit-1.8.0

[add 2 static vals to your test suite]
class YourTest : public CppUnit::TestFixture {
    CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE(YourTest);
    CPPUNIT_TEST(testNo1);
                   ･
                        ･
     CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_END();
private:
// vector for all test
static const vector<CppUnit::Test *> &msTests;
// index for current test case
static int     msTestNo;

[initialize the static vals as follows]
const vector<CppUnit::Test *>
     YourTest::msTests = suite()->getTests();

int YourTest::msTestNo = 0;

[add increment in the tearDown()]
virtual void tearDown(){
    ++msTestNo;
}

Now you can get test name from
msTests[msTestNo]->getName();

function returns like "YourTest.testXXXXX".

I hope it'll works on your env,
