[Cppunit-devel] CppUnit 1.9.0 tar ball

[Baptiste L. <gai...@fr...>]

Many new features. The tar ball can be found at:
http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/snapshot/
http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/snapshot/cppunit-1.9.0.tar.gz
http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/snapshot/cppunit-docs-1.9.0.tar.gz

I especially want feedback from VC++ 7.0 (.NET) since I should have solved
the problem with MfcTestRunner (removed add-in dependency).

 New in CppUnit 1.9.0:
 ----------------------

 In short:
 - Exploration of the test hierarchy without RTTI support
 - Utility methods to find a test in the hierarchy
 - TestPath to store/load the path to a specific test in the hierarchy
 - Generic TestRunner
 - Style sheet support added to XML ouput.
 - CompilerOutputter supports run-time parametrization of error location
format.
 - Tracking of test suite run.
 - Debugging and post-build testing of DLL using DllPlugInTester.
 - Easy creation a test plug-in and test plug-in new example

* Test:

  - Exploration of the test hierarchy without RTTI support:
    Added Test::getChildTestCount() and Test::getChildTestAt() to walk the
test hierarchy
 without RTTI.

  - Utility methods to find a test in the hierarchy:
 Added Test::findTest(), Test::findTestPath() and Test::resolveTestPath().

* TestPath:

  - A new class that store the path to a specific test (list of pointer).
Can be
    converted into a string and constructed from a string. Typically used
with
 TestRunner.

* TestListener:

  - Added startSuite() and endSuite() callback that are called before and
after a
    test suite runs its child tests. See TestListener for detail and new
example.

* CompilerOutputter:

  - Support run-time parametrization of compiler error format. Support for
gcc error
    format added. See CompilerOutputter::setLocationFormat().

* XmlOutputter:

  - Added style sheet support.

  - XML structure change (see Compatibility break)

* DllPlugInTester: (src/msvc6/DllPlugInTester, in src/CppUnitLibraries.dsw)

  - An application to load a DLL test plug-in and run the specified test.
Test
    result are reported using a CompilerOutputter. It can be used for
post-build
 testing, but to debug DLL too! See examples/msvc6/TestPlugIn/TestPlugIn.dsp
 which demonstrate both.

* TestPlugInInterface (include/msvc6/TestPlugInInterface.h):

  - Easy creation a test plug-in with the new macro CPPUNIT_TESTPLUGIN_IMPL
    that implements and exports everything for you.
 See examples/msvc6/EasyTestPlugIn for an example.


* Compatibility break:

  - Test::toString() has been removed. Applies to all subclass of Test.
    It was not used by the framework and was source of confusion with
getName().

  - TestCase::run(void) and TestCase::defaultResult() have been removed.
Using the
    run() method with a TestResult instead.

  - XmlOutput: added a message element to the XML structure. The message
associated
    to a failure is now in the content of <Message> element instead of in
the content
 of the <FailedTest> element.
 Changed from:
        <FailedTest id="6">
          <Name>test6</Name>
          <FailureType>Error</FailureType>
          error2
        </FailedTest>
 To:
        <FailedTest id="6">
          <Name>test6</Name>
          <FailureType>Error</FailureType>
          <Message>error2</Message>
        </FailedTest>

* Deprecated:

  - CompilerOutputter::defaultOutputter(): use default constructor instead.

* Bug fix:

  - XmlOutputter: did not escape content (bug #540944).

  - Included qt/examples in distribution

  - Removed dependency of MfcTestRunner on DSPlugIn. It should now compile
with
    VC++ 7.
