Is there a way to have the binary return a zero
exit code when all the failures are expected and
non-zero when some other non-expected failure happens?
What version of Boost are you using? Is this the case for the latest
release?
The same issue happens with 1.42
Can't reproduce the issue. Please try unit_test_example_08 and let me know if
you see non zero result code.
Ahhhh, finally found the difference, example 8 works as I would expect. Turns out that my test case had a BOOST_REQUIRE rather than a BOOST_CHECK (like example 8), so it turns out that a test case that has a BOOST_REQUIRE and is flagged as a known issues still causes a non-zero exit status which is not what I would expect since the test was flagged as a known issue anyway. Is that the intended behavior? Or would you consider revising this behavior in a future release?
I appreciate your help.
