Detailed Description

Generic test runner.

The TestRunner assumes ownership of all added tests: you can not add test or suite that are local variable since they can't be deleted.

Example of usage: 

 #include <cppunit/extensions/TestFactoryRegistry.h>
 #include <cppunit/CompilerOutputter.h>
 #include <cppunit/TestResult.h>
 #include <cppunit/TestResultCollector.h>
 #include <cppunit/TestRunner.h>
 #include <cppunit/TextTestProgressListener.h>
 
 
 int 
 main( int argc, char* argv[] )
 {
   std::string testPath = (argc > 1) ? std::string(argv[1]) : "";
 
   // Create the event manager and test controller
   CppUnit::TestResult controller;
 
   // Add a listener that colllects test result
   CppUnit::TestResultCollector result;
   controller.addListener( &result );        
 
   // Add a listener that print dots as test run.
   CppUnit::TextTestProgressListener progress;
   controller.addListener( &progress );      
 
   // Add the top suite to the test runner
   CppUnit::TestRunner runner;
   runner.addTest( CppUnit::TestFactoryRegistry::getRegistry().makeTest() );   
   try
   {
     std::cout << "Running "  <<  testPath;
     runner.run( controller, testPath );
 
     std::cerr << std::endl;
 
     // Print test in a compiler compatible format.
     CppUnit::CompilerOutputter outputter( &result, std::cerr );
     outputter.write();                      
   }
   catch ( std::invalid_argument &e )  // Test path not resolved
   {
     std::cerr  <<  std::endl  
                <<  "ERROR: "  <<  e.what()
                << std::endl;
     return 0;
   }
 
   return result.wasSuccessful() ? 0 : 1;
 }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TestRunner::TestRunner (   ) 
 

Constructs a TestRunner object.

TestRunner::~TestRunner (   )  [virtual]
 

Destructor.

TestRunner::TestRunner (  const TestRunner &  copy  )  [private]
 

Prevents the use of the copy constructor.

Member Function Documentation

void TestRunner::addTest (  Test *  test  )  [virtual]
 

Adds the specified test.

Parameters:
test Test to add. The TestRunner takes ownership of the test.

void TestRunner::operator= (  const TestRunner &  copy  )  [private]
 

Prevents the use of the copy operator.

void TestRunner::run (  TestResult &  controller,
const std::string &  testPath = ""
)  [virtual]
 

Runs a test using the specified controller.

Parameters:
controller Event manager and controller used for testing
testPath Test path string. See Test::resolveTestPath() for detail.
Exceptions:
std::invalid_argument if no test matching testPath is found. see TestPath::TestPath( Test*, const std::string &) for detail.
