Re: [Boost-users] [test] Passing parameters to fixtures

I guess I forgot to mention that I need to configure the fixture at runtime. The DB name (which is actually a connection string) is passed to the test as a command line parameter.

Just implement in your fixture a protected member called init_db(string_type const& db_name);

This member can be called from the suite's body, since AFAIK it derives from it.

But hasn't the fixture already been constructed then? So using the constructor of the fixture for setting up the DB connection will not be possible. Or did I get you wrong? Thanks for your help, Markus
