step by step tutorial??

[Anonymous]

Hi!

Is there anybody who could give me a step by step tutorial to working with cppunit 1.8 under linux (or cygwin/windows)?
I've been trying to get along with several examples I've found (cookbook etc.) - but unsuccessfully :-(

I would be very grateful for any help!

if you just run your test cases, try following sample on linux.

[runTest.cpp]
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
#include <cppunit/ui/text/TestRunner.h>
#include <cppunit/TextOutputter.h>
#include <cppunit/CompilerOutputter.h>
#include <cppunit/extensions/TestFactoryRegistry.h>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
    bool toStdErr = false;
    for ( int i = 1; i < argc; ++i ) {
        std::string arg(argv[i]);
        if ( arg == "--cerr"      ) toStdErr = true;
    }
    CppUnit::TextUi::TestRunner runner;

    runner.addTest(CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry().makeTest());

    CppUnit::Outputter* outputter = 0;
    std::ostream* stream = toStdErr ? &std::cerr : &std::cout;

    outputter = new CppUnit::TextOutputter(&runner.result(),*stream);
    runner.setOutputter(outputter);
    bool result;
    result = runner.run();
    std::cerr << std::endl;
    return result ? 0 : 1;
}

[YourTest.cpp]
#include <cppunit/extensions/HelperMacros.h>
#include <cppunit/TestAssert.h>

class YourTest : public CppUnit::TestFixture {
    // you also need sync the classname at the last line of file.
    CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE(YourTest);
// begin registration of test case.
    CPPUNIT_TEST(testCase1);
    CPPUNIT_TEST(testCase2);
// end of registration.
    CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_END();
public:
    virtual void setUp()
    {
    }
    virtual void tearDown()
    {
    }

// implementation of test cases.
    void testCase1()
    {
        CPPUNIT_FAIL("not implemented");
    }
    void testCase2()
    {
        CPPUNIT_FAIL("not implemented");
    }
};

// Do not forget to sync the class name.
CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION(YourTest);
