Steven, Your subject line was pretty much designed not to get the attention of the people who can help you ;-) on Tue Jan 13 2009, Steven Ross <spreadsort-AT-gmail.com> wrote:
How do I run Boost's automated testing on a single unit test,
$ cd directory/containing/test/Jamfile/or/Jamfile.v2 $ bjam name-of-test
and how do I create a new test directory in BOOST_ROOT/libs/algorithm/sorting such that it gets executed?
Integrate it into $BOOST_ROOT/status/Jamfile.v2 similarly to how the other test suites are integrated.
If someone could just explain how I run libs/algorithm/string's automated tests,
$ cd $BOOST_ROOT/libs/algorithm/string/test/ $ bjam
I'd be quite happy to copy how its tests are written, and modify them to test sorting correctness. I've spent over 7 hours so far trying to figure this out, and it's starting to get ridiculous. I've read through the documentation of bjam and the Boost test library and they don't seem to explain this.
Boost.Test has basically nothing to do with the question, and the bjam docs won't help you because bjam is a low-level build tool. You need the Boost.Build docs. Boost.Build is a build system that uses bjam. HTH, -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
