Re: [boost] [Boost.Test] access to boost::unit_test::framework::master_test_suite().{argc, argv} outside from BOOST_TEST

my test program uses boost.test datasets. I've wrote a filesystem loader for the input and expected data. Now I run into the problem, that boost::unit_test::framework::master_test_suite().{argc, argv} is only setup inside the tests self. My loader isn't a test case ... I can check it by using a simple mock, like

struct app_mock { app_mock();

int const argc; char** const argv; };

app_mock::app_mock() : argc(boost::unit_test::framework::master_test_suite().argc) , argv(boost::unit_test::framework::master_test_suite().argv) { }

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( app_mocker ) { app_mock app; std::cout << "Count = " << app.argc << '\n'; for(int i = 0; i != app.argc; i++) std::cout << "Arg = " << app.argv[i] << '\n'; } BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE(app_mock);

also important here.

$ my_test -- my_args

Count = 2

path/to/exe

my_args

these works, but as mentioned:

dataset_loader::dataset_loader(fs::path const& path) { app_mock app;

std::cout << "ARGC = " << boost::unit_test::framework::master_test_suite().argc << '\n'; read_files(path); }

is always zero.

How can I read the argc/argv values?

Thanks,

Olaf
