Following John Maddock's appeal for practical solutions related to the move to CMake, I would like to know what the CMake equivalent is to the Boost Build unit test functionality.
In other words what do I write for CMake in order to do a Boost Build compile, compile-fail, link, link-fail, run, and run-fail unit tests ? For a run test, you would do, something like:
add_executable(footest footest.cpp) add_test(NAME footest COMMAND $<TARGET_FILE:footest>)
For a compile/link test:
add_library(footest STATIC EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL footest.cpp) add_test(NAME footest COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} --build . --target footest -- config $<CONFIGURATION> WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR})
I think I'm losing the will to live looking at that :(
To make the tests with expected failures, just set a property:
set_tests_properties(footest PROPERTIES WILL_FAIL TRUE)
You also can check for certain output, which nice for checking that the compile fail tests has triggered the static assert.
Ideally, the BCMTest module can make this simpler:
http://bcm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/BCMTest.html
Which you can write the equivalent tests like this:
Run test: bcm_test(NAME footest SOURCES footest.cpp)
Run fail test: bcm_test(NAME footest SOURCES footest.cpp WILL_FAIL)
Compile test: bcm_test(NAME footest SOURCES footest.cpp COMPILE_ONLY)
Compile fail test: bcm_test(NAME footest SOURCES footest.cpp COMPILE_ONLY WILL_FAIL)
That looks way better! I assume we can also add annotation for things like: * Defines. * Configuration if-then-else logic. * Compiler specific flags (probably in conjunction with some configuration test). Thanks, John. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com
