Re: [boost] Unit Test Framework - strange behaviour of test_unit::depends_on

Me here wrote:

Hi there,

Why the code below does not run test case TC_TestCase and reports that the whole test suite is skipped? Nothing is executed from my code. If the line /*1*/ is commented out, then behaviour is as expected.

Because test suite Test_Test depends on test unit Dependency, which is never run, as if it was skipped. If dependency is skipped, test unit is skipped as well.

I have to admit that test_unit::depends_on is not documented. Unit test framework is changed in 1.37.0 but changes are not documented anywhere.

Please open a ticket. This should be fixed. Gennadiy
