[Cppunit-devel] cppunit tests from config file

[CppUnit d. m. l. <cpp...@li...>]

hi to all,

im a java programmer and im new to c++ and i have to say its pain in the a..
;-)
The problem is that i want to get my test methods from a config file. This
text file should look
for example like this:

TestCaseClass.myNumberTest
TestCaseClass.myOtherTest

In every line the testcase class followed by the test method.

My idea is to read every line from the text file inside a loop.
I dont know how to do this, because of the template
TestCaller<TestCaseClass>.

Does anybody know how to the the testmethods from a textfile? 

Thankss!!

This is my code:

***************************************
    std::ofstream outputFile("testResults.txt");  // This are only the test
outputs, nothing to do with my problem
    CppUnit::TextUi::TestRunner runner;
    CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry & registry =
CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry ();
    
// I want to get this from a config file !!!!
    runner.addTest( new CppUnit::TestCaller<TestCaseClass>("myNumberTest",
&TestCaseClass::myNumberTest) );
    runner.addTest( new CppUnit::TestCaller<TestCaseClass>("myOtherTest",
&TestCaseClass::myOtherTest) );
   
    CppUnit::TextOutputter *textOutputter = new
CppUnit::TextOutputter(&runner.result(),outputFile) ;
    runner.setOutputter(textOutputter);
    runner.run();
****************************************

C++ does not support reflection. The only way to refer to a method is by=20
using explicitly its name inside the code, like in your example.

The most elegant way to do this is to use the CPPUNIT macros :

class CMyTest : public CPPUNIT_NS::TestFixture
{
     CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE(CMyTest);
     CPPUNIT_TEST(test1);
     CPPUNIT_TEST(test2);
     CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_END();

private:
     void test1();
     void test2();
};

CPPUNIT_TEST_SUITE_REGISTRATION(CMyTest);

This will generate some kind of CppUnit-specific reflection, so one can=20
later refer to the methods by name :

CPPUNIT_NS::TestRunner runner;

CPPUNIT_NS::TestFactoryRegistry& registry =3D=20
CPPUNIT_NS::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry();

CPPUNIT_NS::Test* pAllTests =3D registry.makeTest();

...

runner.addTest(pAllTests);

runner.run(result, "CMyTest::test2"); // Referred by name as string
