[Cppunit-devel] CompilerOutputter Class Reference

[Curt M. <cur...@co...>]

When using the CompilerOutputter class, how does a developer send the
error messages to the .NET output window?

The following is my main:

#include <cppunit/extensions/TestFactoryRegistry.h>
#include <cppunit/ui/text/TestRunner.h>
#include <cppunit/CompilerOutputter.h> 


/// The main() that is used to test.
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   // if command line contains "-selftest" then this is the post build
check
   // => the output must be in the compiler error format.
   bool const selfTest = (argc > 1)  &&  
                   (std::string("-selftest") == argv[1]);

  CppUnit::TextUi::TestRunner runner;
  CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry &registry =
CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry();
  runner.addTest( registry.makeTest() );

  if( selfTest )
  { 
      CppUnit::CompilerOutputter *outer = 
         new CppUnit::CompilerOutputter( &runner.result(), std::cerr );

      // set the format for the outer
      outer->setLocationFormat("%p(%l):" );

     // Change the default outputter to a compiler error format
outputter
     // The test runner owns the new outputter.
     runner.setOutputter( outer );
  }

  bool const wasSucessful = runner.run( "", !selfTest );
  return wasSucessful ? 0 : 1;
}

Should not the std::error be redirected to the Ouput window?
