[Cppunit-devel] CppUnit 1.9.6 tar ball

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

    New snapshot. The problem on Unix should be fixed. Thanks to all those
who helped !

       KNOWN PROBLEMS:
- TestPlugIn project has not been removed from the Examples workspace (just
click cancel)
- Money example is missing dependency with cppunit.dsp

    As usal, the snapshop can be found at:

 New in CppUnit 1.9.6:
 ----------------------

 - DllPlugInTester can be parametrized from command line
 - Two test listener plug-in examples
 - An 'hello world' example & getting started document : Money
 - Contribution: generic makefile for Borland 5.5 free compiler.
 - Bug fixes

* DllPlugInTester:

 - Advanced command line to support miscellaneous listener outputer.
   Parameters can now be passed to test plug-in:

  -c --compiler
   Use CompilerOutputter
  -x --xml [filename]
   Use XmlOutputter (if filename is omitted, then output to cout or
   cerr.
  -s --xsl stylesheet
   XML style sheet for XML Outputter
  -e --encoding encoding
   XML file encoding (UTF8, shift_jis, ISO-8859-1...)
  -b --brief-progress
   Use BriefTestProgressListener (default is TextTestProgressListener)
  -n --no-progress
   Show no test progress (disable default TextTestProgressListener)
  -t --text
   Use TextOutputter
  -o --cout
   Ouputters output to cout instead of the default cerr.
  filename[="options"]
   Many filenames can be specified. They are the name of the
   test plug-ins to load. Optional plug-ins parameters can be
   specified after the filename by adding '='.
  [:testpath]
   Optional. Only one test path can be specified. It must
   be prefixed with ':'. See TestPath constructor for syntax.

  'parameters' (test plug-in or XML filename, test path...) may contains
  spaces if double quoted. Quote may be escaped with \".

  Some examples of command lines:
DllPlugInTesterd_dll.exe -b -x tests.xml -c simple_plugind.dll
CppUnitTestPlugInd.dll
  Will load 2 tests plug-ins (available in lib/), use the brief test
  progress, output the result in XML in file tests.xml and also
  output the result using the compiler outputter.

DllPlugInTesterd_dll.exe ClockerPlugInd.dll="flat" -n CppUnitTestPlugInd.dll
  Will load the 2 test plug-ins, and pass the parameter string "flat"
  to the Clocker plug-in, disable test progress. Clocker being a test
  listener plug-ins (it doesn't implements any tests, it just register
  a TestListener), this is equivalent to say 'run all the test
  of CppUnitTestPlugIn and use ClockerPlugIn as a TestLisener'.

DllPlugInTesterd_dll.exe CppUnitTestPlugInd.dll :Core
  Will run the test named "Core" (a suite in the present case ) of the
  test plug-in.

* Documentation

 - New getting started documentation. Not completed yet, but probably
   a good complement to the current cookbook. Explore the creation
   of the Money example.

* Examples

 - Money (examples/Money): the 'hello world' example. Unit tests for
   a simple Money class.

 - DllPlugInTesterTest (src/DllPlugInTester/DllPlugInTester.dsp):
   unit tests for CommandLineParser. Not really an example, but only
   slightly more complex than Money.

 - ClockerPlugIn (examples/ClockerPlugIn): a test listener plug-in
   that track tests and test suites running time. Parameter: "flat"
   for a reporting with a flattened tree.

 - DumperPlugIn (examples/DumperPlugIn): a test listener plug-in that
   dump the test tree as it run. Paramater: "flat" for a reporting
   with a flattened tree.

 - CppUnitTestPlugIn (examples/cppunitest/CppUnitTestPlugIn.dsp):
   CppUnit's test suite as a test plug-in.

* Contribution

  - Contributed by project cuppa team
(http://sourceforge.jp/projects/cuppa/):

 - Makefile for CppUnit with Borland C++ 5.5 free compiler: does not
   depend on a specific CppUnit version.

* Compatiblity breaks

 - DllPlugInTester: (1.9.4 only), should add -c to DllPlugInTester
   command line.

* Bug Fix:

 - DynamicLibaryManager did not report the library name when loading a
   a library.

 - BeosDynamicLibraryManager: fixed thanks to Shibu Yoshiki
   ('cuppa' project team).

 - Broken build on Unix should be fixed for most (thanks to
   Jeffrey Morgan).

    Enjoy,
    Baptiste.
