CPP Unit Test Setup

This is a Unit Test setup with cmake which anyone can start their testing work with. It can also act as a reference for future work.

Do note that setting up any unit test you would have to clone the unit test repository https://github.com/google/googletest.git.

Runing and Testing

If you use terminal:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

If you use vscode, just use the cmake tool extension instead.
But if you would like to use C++ testmate extension you will have to add this line to the settings.json

{
    "C_Cpp.default.configurationProvider": "ms-vscode.cmake-tools",
    "C_Cpp.errorSquiggles": "Enabled",
    "testMate.cpp.test.executables": "build-vscode/test/CheckoutTest"
}

You will have to provide the absolute path to the file that you would like to test.

30 directories, 264 files

• include directory is where all the header files are at (main header files to be tested)
• src directory is where all the source files are at (main source file to be tested)
• test directory is where the unit test files are at

Location of Unit Test Executable

cpp-unit-test-setup/build-vscode/test

If you do not file it there, mean you have not make it. Do a make command will do (if the make files are there).

WARNINGS

• Always run all tests with ASAN (address sanitizer enabled)
• Always run both Release and Debug builds with ASAN with tests
