[Cppunit-devel] TestRunner with MFC

[lacall <la...@mi...>]

I'm wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on some kind
of bug in the way I'm using TestRunner. I seem to be using it exactly like
in the example code, and when I call runner.run() it launches the TestRunner
dialog just fine. But when I click the "Browse" button in TestRunner, I get
a "debug assertion failed" in ...\mfc\src\dlgdata.cpp line 43. It is where
it is calling CDataExchange::PrepareCtrl(...) and the hWinCtrl is null (I
believe it is trying to get the handle to the parent dialog, but it gets a
null value).

Interestingly, the tests seem to work ok with the TextTestRunner when called
identically from the app. I stepped through it and it worked great (except
that the std::cout test results aren't displayed, due to it being an MFC
app).

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong to cause the error with TestRunner's
Browse button? I have stepped through the code extensively, comparing it to
the same code and execution path for the provided cppunit MFC examples, and
can't tell what's different; maybe this particular MFC issue is just over my
head a bit. Many thanks for any ideas!
