[Cppunit-devel] Testrunner interface

[Philippe F. <P....@OB...>]

	Hi,

I want to write my custom test outputter with the following characteristics:
1. the name of the test being run is printed
2. the full failure is reported during the test run
3. a percentage of the number of test failed is printed at the end.

1 & 2 can be done using TestResultCollecter or using a custom TestListener
3 can be done using TestResult or an Outputter

But how do I glue this together ? TestRunner should be my interface.

But it turns out that TestRunner does have enough methods to customise the
progress reporter. So I have to inherit from TestRunner to do what I want.
This is a pity because internally, TestRunner has everything I need.

For the next version of cppunit, I suggest to add a few methods, that would
behave basically like setOutputter: provide a sensible text default but
allow for customisation. I need:
setTestProgressListener( TestListener );
and probably 
setTestResultCollecter( TestResultCollecter );

This won't break binary compatibility. Do you want the patches ?

	regards,

	Philippe
