Sub-testcases: printing multiple line numbers

[Michael Morgan]

Say I have the following

01. void testSub() {
02.    CPPUNIT_FAIL("Intentional");
03. }
04.
05. void TestFrameWork:testCase() {
06.     CPPUNIT_ASSERT_ASSERTION_PASS(testSub());
07. }

I would like to have both lines 06 and 02 reported in the output somehow. Right now I either get only 06, or only 02 reported (based on whether or not I use CPPUNIT_ASSERT_ASSERTION_PASS). Is this possible?

Thanks so much in advance!

Hi Michael,

Would the following handmade macro be helpful to you?

#define ASSERT_ASSERTION_PASS_WITH_LINE_NUMBER( expression )  \ do {  \ CppUnit::Message cpputMsg_( "unexpected exception caught" );  \ cpputMsg_.addDetail( CppUnit::AdditionalMessage() );  \ try {  \ expression;  \ } catch ( const CppUnit::Exception &e ) {  \ cpputMsg_.addDetail( "Caught: CppUnit::exception");  \ cpputMsg_.addDetail( "Line number: " +  \ CppUnit::StringTools::toString( e.sourceLine().lineNumber() ) );  \ cpputMsg_.addDetail( std::string("What(): ") + e.what() );  \ CppUnit::Asserter::fail( cpputMsg_, CPPUNIT_SOURCELINE() );  \ }  \ } while ( false )  \

To be used as follows:

01. void testSub() {
02. CPPUNIT_FAIL("Intentional");
03. }
04.
05. void TestFrameWork:testCase() {
06. ASSERT_ASSERTION_PASS_WITH_LINE_NUMBER(testSub());
07. }

When writing ASSERT_ASSERTION_PASS_WITH_LINE_NUMBER, I started off by copying CPPUNIT_ASSERT_NO_THROW_MESSAGE. So you might also want to take a look at that one.  I used CppUnit::StringTools::toString, so you'd have to #include <cppunit/tools/StringTools.h> before calling ASSERT_ASSERTION_PASS_WITH_LINE_NUMBER.

If you think you can further improve ASSERT_ASSERTION_PASS_WITH_LINE_NUMBER, please post your version here as well  :-)

Kind regards,

Hi again. Sorry I didn't respond earlier; I've had a very hectic month working a different shift & all.. Anyway, I want to say thank you _very_ much. That was a huge help, and it definitely solves my problems.

If I do end up improving it somehow, I will definitely copy it here.

Thanks again!
