[Cremin, P. <pc...@or...>]

I assume you are referring to the CppUnit Cookbook?
http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/cppunit_cookbook.html#cppunit_cookbook

If you take the code directly from that site I believe it will compile.

Also, in the CppUnit source you downloaded look in cppunit\examples.
There you will find a examples.dsw. Open that up and check out
'hierarchy classes' which has a Boardgame with CppUnit working on it.

I wouldn't expect too much to be done about additional documentation.
CppUnit is free, and additional docs will probable be developed by end
users like me and you. Take a look at
http://www.iunknown.com/Articles/fog0000000025.html
For another example (gets into how to set up your project which can be a
pain)

Trust me though, I am a moron and I was able to get this working. Even
added additional assertions and no operation test results.

Good Luck,

Patrick Cremin

Subject: [Cppunit-devel] examples on webpage.

Hi,

trying to follow your examples on the website I was confused and
disillusioned
by the bad sourcecode you provide.

I understand that your page wants to explain the concepts, but it
basically
lacks one thing; producing a compiling file that I can actually run...


Ok, lets start my argument again; and let me get to the problem in a
bit.
I want to try cppunit. So the first thing I do is I find out about the
assertions
you provide and then I want to get a really simple test running and
compiling.
This part is essential and if this does not work I want to spend 0 time
trying
to figure out other ideas like suite etc.

The page I found provided a number of sourecode samples but none had a
full
listing that actually compiled.
And reaching the end I found a main method, but that uses a lot of
concepts I
never heard of; but I can't understand the concepts without seeing a
running
example of a test.


Confused? So was I, the problem with your pages is that I can only
understand
then when I know what it is you explain.

Please provide for _EACH_ example code a single file that contains the
whole
test; including main and everything.
Preferrably with an example gcc (or similar) call at the top.
It is sooo much easier to understand what you are saying when I have the
option
to see it in the context of the whole...
If I can just get one file to actually compile I might start using
cppunit!

Many thanx!

ps. a page describing the differences between junit and cppunit would
also be
great.

Actually, Thomas has a good point.  The cookbook example 
has several problems that cause it to not compile.  

Read the comments within my attachments to see where the cookbook
led you astray. 

Build like this: 
  g++ -c testrunner.cpp
  g++ -c complexTestSuite.cpp
  g++ -o testrunner testrunner.o complexTestSuite.o -lcppunit

Then just run ./testrunner

You may need -L or -I flags to g++ if you installed cppunit
someplace non-standard. 

Hope this helps.

Thanx! This one actually compiled :)
It took some time to get a correct install; my debian version did not link.
I had to compile the sources.
So, I'm of in creating more testunits!


btw; your testrunner:

> 	bool wasSucessful = runner.run( "", false );
> 	return wasSucessful;

seems wrong; wasSucessful is 1 when everything went right, but returning
0 is the 'success' return state of main.
So I believe it should be
    if(wasSucessful) return 0;
    return -1;

And if you want to assume the implied values of the bool (sounds dirty ;).
    return !wasSucessful;

Glad I could help.

Correct.  I was trying to stay as close to the cookbook as possible. 
See attachment for my real testrunner.cc.  It also adds the feature
of passing a command line param to run a single test suite or 
single unit. 

./testrunner TestSuiteName
  or 
./testrunner TestSuiteName::UnitTestName

Oh wait...  I think that only works with current CVS, not 1.8.0.
