Continuos Integration & Unit Testing

[peatar]

Codeblocks is really nice! 3 questions:

* After a bit trouble I got unit testing working. Is this the best way to do it? http://stackoverflow.com/q/9027364/194609
* How can I do continuos integration with a codeblocks project? Or do I (really) need to create a makefile to run it on a server?
* With NetBeans' C++ plugin it is often possible to refactor (e.g. rename variables / methods). Can this be done with codeblocks too?

I don't know about your two first questions but for the latest you have a code refacotring menu when right clicking on the variable/method you want to rename.

And typically :
- library providing functionality
- app using it, where unit test exe is just like any app using it

hmmh cannot find such in 10.05

I know that but as I explained in the SO question it is suboptimal. At least when creating this library is a separate step. Or do you know how to solve this separate step?

Open a terminal and start codeblocks --help
We have some batch build capabilities, but on linux you need a X11 server running.

* With NetBeans' C++ plugin it is often possible to refactor (e.g. rename variables / methods). Can this be done with codeblocks too?

You need a nightly build for this to partly work.

What is the optimal way in your opinion?

What I do when I do unit testing is to make a console project and put all needed files there.
Then I make the main app depend on the unit test project.

Yes I think it was introduced in a nightly...
