Currently my 'test' directory contains: $ ls .oo* foo* foo1bar foo bar foo!bar foo]bar foo*bar foocbar foo.hpp fooabar foo-bar foo?bar foo{bar foo\bar foo.cpp .oobar foo^bar foo,bar foo[bar foo}bar foobbar foo.cxx
All 20 of these files have zero size; the idea is to test boost::glob's ability to find matches. However, I'd rather not have them as part of the library. How do I get the test framework to create them for me before running a test?
I don't know how to do what you ask, but you need more cases than shown. You should test with special characters at the start, middle, and end of the filename. You might even test with them in those positions of the suffix and the rest of the filename. Also, you should test with longer filenames and with multiple suffixes. -- Rob Stewart stewart@sig.com Software Engineer http://www.sig.com Susquehanna International Group, LLP using std::disclaimer;
