Re: [cdt-dev] CDT Test Runner for CppUTest

[xgsa <xgsa@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You don't need to change feature.xml to add "CppUTest Runner" in the drop down menu inside C/C++ Test runner in "Run Configurations...", you just need to implement the org.eclipse.cdt.testrunner.TestsRunner extension point. As your tests runner is hosted outside CDT codebase, you need to implement your own feature (with a separate feature.xml) and update site (if necessary) with your plugin.

Hi Marc-Andre,

Thank you for your answers. During the time waiting for reply, I have actually written the code that runs CppUTest with this test runner.

Related to hosting this project outside CDT codebase, I now have some further questions on packaging and installation if they are hosted outside CDT codebase.

I am aware that it would require a change in feature.xml in org.eclipse.cdt.testsrunner.feature package so that users can see "CppUTest Runner" in the drop down menu inside C/C++ Test runner in "Run Configurations..."

If CppUTest runner is hosted outside CDT codebase, can you give me some idea how I can update this xml file when a user choose to install this test runner?

Or shall include the entire cdt testrunner plugin for users to download and install and replace their existing CDT test runner?

Thanks,

Steven

Hi Steven,

There is no plan to support CppUTest at this moment. It should be possible to implement this test runner as a plug-in that extends the CDT Unit Testing Framework. Given the relatively low popularity of CppUTest, perhaps it would be best to host this project outside of the CDT code base for now.

Here's a page to help you getting started:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Getting_started_with_CDT_development

In addition to the projects listed there, you should import those projects:
org.eclipse.cdt.testsrunner
org.eclipse.cdt.testsrunner.boost
org.eclipse.cdt.testsrunner.gtest
org.eclipse.cdt.testsrunner.qttest
org.eclipse.cdt.testsrunner.test

Hope this helps!

Marc-Andre
