Hi!
When using the boost::test unit-test framework calls like
boost::unit_test::test_suite* test = BOOST_TEST_SUITE( "Testing Something" );
test->add(BOOST_TEST_CASE(&test_function_with_expected_error), 1);
lead to an error in return code when used together with VC7 as a post-build step
It shouldn't. Could you provide an example to replicate an error?
Of course I could use runtime argument "--result_code=no", but then how can I make a difference between expected and unexpected errors?
Check "Usage recomendation" section in docs. Use above flag always for post-build event
It makes sense to me to have expected errors in a testsuite, and especially to declare a test failure when an expected error does not appear. Could you please explain how boost::test supports this without having to write "failure-tests" myself?
