#All you need to know about this mini project
This project is an independent addition for [http://code.google.com/p/googletest/googletest].
Google Test is an excellent xUnit style c++ unit testing framework. It is highly recommended. One (minor) drawback of Google Test is it's text based UI, and this project attempts to help.
This project is a standalone .Net 2.0 executable which displays a UI for a Google Test based harness with the following elements:
- A progress bar which is either green or red, according to test success
- A list of all failures and their details upon click
The UI saves a history of several runs (configurable), allows command line parameters to be passed to the test program and gives convenient access to the following google test features:
- filtering tests
- forcing execution of disabled tests
- shuffling tests
The project runs on both Windows and Linux (under Mono). Here are some Screen Shots.
- Download the ZIP
- Open it somewhere other than "Program Files"
If you insist on "Program Files", then you will need to run this with Administrative rights.
See Version History
I didn't want to bother writing several plug-in's. Actually I didn't even want to write one. I find that a standalone app that I run constantly as I code is very convenient, and I am not limited to VS 2005/2008/2010, Eclipse, etc.
- Fire up your IDE
- Run the app (called "Guitar" - you can work out the acronym)
- In app main dialog select your test executable
- Press "Go" whenever your tests/code compile (TDDers, note the order ;-) )
Note 1: the test executable should (of course) be a google test executable. The application parses google test stdout.
Note 2:The application remembers the last executable run between sessions.
You are probably on an older VS version. Don't worry - project is dead simple. Just roll up your own and add all files.
Enjoy.
Omri.
