I would like to tell our logger which test method is being run before it starts.  Is something like this possible?

class MyTest : public CPPUNIT_NS::TestFixture
{
CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE(MyTest);
CPPUNIT_TEST(MyMethod);
CPPUNIT_TEST(MyOtherMethod);
CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_END();

public:
void setUp() {
  SetMyLoggerPrefix(/* ?? getCurrentTestName() ?? */);
}

void MyMethod() {...}
void MyOtherMethod() {...}
...
};

I would like for SetMyLoggerPrefix to be called with arguments "MyMethod" and "MyOtherMethod" in turn.  Is there a way to do this?

Thanks,

Use a custom TestListener and implement its startTest( CPPUNIT_NS::Test *test ) method, like so:

class CustomTestListener : public CPPUNIT_NS::TestListener
{
[...]
}

void
CustomTestListener::startTest( CPPUNIT_NS::Test *test )
{
    SetMyLoggerPrefix( test->getName() );
}   

Register your custom TestListener before you run the tests:

        CPPUNIT_NS::TextUi::TestRunner runner;
       
        CPPUNIT_NS::TestResult controller;
       
               
               
        // add my custom TestListener
                CustomTestListener myCustomTestListener;
        controller.addListener( (CPPUNIT_NS::TestListener*) &myCustomTestListener );
       
        // add a listener that collects test results
         CPPUNIT_NS::TestResultCollector result;
        controller.addListener( &result );       

        // Add a listener that print dots as tests run
        CPPUNIT_NS::TextTestProgressListener progress;
        controller.addListener( &progress );     
       
        // add root test suite to the test runner
        CPPUNIT_NS::TestFactoryRegistry &registry = CPPUNIT_NS::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry( Mytest );
               
        CPPUNIT_NS::Test *test = registry.makeTest();
       
        runner.addTest( test );
       
        // run tests
        runner.run( controller );

You could actually implement the logger as a TestListener in the first place.
