First Testing Project in C++

This is an example to use GTest

Run Locally

make new directory to project

📁 File Structure

.
├── build/
├── ext/
├── include/
├── src/
├── .gitignore
├── CMakeLists.txt
└── README.md

Go to ext/ directory and clone GTest

  cd ext
  git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/google/googletest.git

Use this CMakeLists.txt template

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)
project(modio)
set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)

IF( test AND test STREQUAL "on" )
  message("Testing enabled")
  file(GLOB TEST_SRC_FILES ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/src/*.cpp)
  add_subdirectory(ext/googletest)
  enable_testing()
  include_directories(${gtest_SOURCE_DIR}/include ${gtest_SOURCE_DIR})
  add_executable(runUnitTests ${TEST_SRC_FILES})
  target_link_libraries(runUnitTests gtest gtest_main)
  add_test(UnitTests runUnitTests)
ENDIF()

Steps to test

Build project

  cd build
  cmake .. -Dtest=on
  make -j18

Run test

  make test

Run verbose test

  ctest --verbose
