My desired control flow is to have this test program in control
and to use the BOOST logging tools. I am trying to slip in boost.test with a minimum of changes to this program. I have hooked its logging function to call boost logging facilities instead; just can't get past this problem.
1. Here is an example that defines main: http://tinyurl.com/qmve47. This example does not use automated tools, but it might as well.
2. You may not need main. You can do your initialization either in global fixture in in test suite initialization function (like in example above)
Thanks for the great tip- I have organized the program to work this way. The sample code doesn't quite work, I had to cast the initialization function that is passed into unit_test_main (boost::unit_test::init_unit_test_func) .. I did that and I got pretty far but there is a strange runtime error that happens here: test_unit& get( test_unit_id id, test_unit_type t ) { test_unit* res = s_frk_impl().m_test_units[id]; if( (res->p_type & t) == 0 ) throw internal_error( "Invalid test unit type" ); return *res; } The test case I added was simpler and had no parameters to pass: framework::master_test_suite().add( BOOST_TEST_CASE(TestMain) ); That happens successfully but the main test program never gets called and execution stops at the location above. I saw this link: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/03/102592.php Looks like I do need to autoregister a test suite first? I tried registering one with no luck. Thanks for all your help! Greg
