Could I use CppUnit in code::blocks?

[whatx]

I want to make unit test in code::blocks,
Is there convinent way to plug CppUnit into the IDE.
Or is it support some other test framework?
Thanks a lot

HI,

I think you should be able to use it.
I myself am using : UnitTest++ http://unittest-cpp.sourceforge.net/.
It is a very good framework.

I will write an article about it, you can run the tests as post build steps and when a test fails you can click in the build messages list to jump to the failing test.

Just give me a few days to write the article ;-)

Hello,

I would like to use CppUnit with Codeblocks as well (or perhaps UnitTest if it's easier to make it work).
Is there any article about it by now?

best regards

Will try to do it in the coming weeks  :oops:

Tutorial for unittest++:

0. Read the docs first :lol: at http://unittest-cpp.sourceforge.net/UnitTest++.html
1. Create console project
2. Change the code in main.cpp to look like this:

Code Select Expand


// test.cpp
  #include <UnitTest++.h>

  TEST(FailSpectacularly)
  {
    CHECK(false);
  }

  int main()
  {
    return UnitTest::RunAllTests();
  }

3. Add the include paths to the unittest++
4. Add linking options
5. Compile and run it...
6. If errors goto 3/4
7. Add a post build step for the test project to run the resulting executable
8. Write you tests and have fun.

If you know how to setup projects with codeblocks you won't have problems with this.

Best regards

thanks for that instruction

thanks for that instruction

--> Isn't that something for the WiKi?

Probably, but where to put it?

How about a new sub-section here:

(Scroll down untilo you see the section "Third-party libraries ".)
