Hello all,
I build a Boost.Python module and install it using bjam as follow:
python-extension pydef : deduced_params_pydef.cpp : <library>/boost/python//boost_python <library>/boost/regex//boost_regex <link>shared:<define>BOOST_REGEX_DYN_LINK=1 ; install pydef_install : pydef : <install-dependencies>on <install-type>SHARED_LIB <install-type>PYTHON_EXTENSION <location>. ;
I the same dir I have a python script deduced_params_pydef.py which will import the module and test it.
How do I run the python script automatically from bjam so to fully compile and test the module that my code generates?
Something like (this doesn't work of course):
# Make sure pydef target is built first, then runs python deduced_params_pydef.py run-py pydef_install : deduced_params_pydef.py ;
Take a look at Boost.Python's own tests; that should give you everything you need.
Yes, I figured it out. Boost.Python used bpl-test (or a rule named like that) but I ended up using type.register UNIT_TEST_RAW : UNIT_TEST ; generators.register-standard testing.unit-test : : UNIT_TEST_RAW ; rule py-test ( name : pyscript : commandline ) { unit-test-raw $(name) : $(pyscript) : <testing.launcher>"python "$(pyscript)" "$(commandline) ; always $(name) ; } This worked better for what I needed to do.
