How to use

The project is built on top of the CMake project generator. There are two ways to build the project:

1. Use an extension for your IDE (CLion / VSCode recommended)
2. Use CMake manually to generate the project and then build it with your IDE or command line tools.

Dependencies

There are no external library dependencies, only compiler or CMake bundled.

Required dependencies:

• C++23 compatible compiler (latest clang and msvc tested)
• CMake 3.20 or higher

Recommended dependencies:

• clang toolchain (clang-tidy, clang-format, clangd)
• CLion or VSCode with CMake Tools, clang, and clang-format extensions

CLion setup

• Everything should work out of the box: just open the project in CLion and it will generate the project for you.
• Open the CMake icon in the bottom left corner and press Reload CMake project.
• Choose BTestApp as the startup project and run it.

VSCode setup

• Install the ms-vscode.cmake-tools extension.
• Open the CMake Tools extension.
• Press the Delete Cache and Reconfigure button.
• Choose BTestApp as the startup project and run it.

Terminal + Visual Studio 22 setup

1. Choose a build system (e.g. Visual Studio, Makefiles, etc.)

• Type in terminal cmake --help to see the list of supported generators.
• Copy the name of the generator you want to use (e.g. "Visual Studio 17 2022").

2. Generate the project for your build system

• Open a terminal in the root folder.
• Run cmake -S . -B build -G "Visual Studio 17 2022".

3. Build generated project

• Run cmake --build build --config Debug to build the project in Debug configuration.
• Go to the build folder and find a corresponding executable file for BTestApp
• You can also open the generated solution file in Visual Studio and build it from there.

How to commit

The project uses clang-tidy and clang-format.
For tests, the CMake default test framework is used.
The project supports clangd, so you can use any IDE with clangd support.

Linter

Clang-tidy also runs during a build process. To check all problems without recompiling the project, you can run clang-tidy with the following command.
This command considers the build folder as the CMake generated project folder.

run-clang-tidy -p build

Add -fix argument to automatically fix all problems that can be fixed by clang-tidy automaticaly.

run-clang-tidy -p build -fix

Formatter

Just use VSCode or CLion

How to test

Before test execution, make sure you have generated and built all modules.

Assuming you generated the project in the build folder, you can run tests with the following command:

ctest --test-dir build
