doctest support? about approvaltests.cpp HOT 6 CLOSED

this should be very possible, but would need a doctest expert to pair with. Usually this is a 30-40 minute thing with an expert. Are you that person?

from approvaltests.cpp.

If doing this, I'd suggest first moving the Catch2, GoogleTest and Okra implementations in to a sub-directory, as I hope that this list of supported frameworks will keep on growing...

It looks like doctest does have the ability to listen out for new tests:

I only have time to use it :)

And DOCTEST_CONFIG_IMPLEMENT_WITH_MAIN, DOCTEST_REGISTER_REPORTER.

Hi, no worries... Thanks very much for the suggestion - and for letting us know about another testing framework.

I really like its promise of faster build times!

Things that I'm aware of that we still need to do

• Fix the Windows builds
• Remove using namespace doctest; in ApprovalTests/integrations/doctest/DocTestApprovals.h
• Fix the stomping on --reporter command-line argument in our doctest main - depends on doctest/doctest#257 or doctest/doctest#260
• Fix compiler warnings:

/cygdrive/d/Users/Clare/Documents/Programming/github/ApprovalTests/ApprovalTests.cpp/ApprovalTests/integrations/doctest/DocTestApprovals.h:16:8: warning: 'DocTestApprovalListener' has a field 'DocTestApprovalListener::' whose type uses the anonymous namespace [-Wsubobject-linkage]
struct DocTestApprovalListener : ConsoleReporter
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[ 66%] Linking CXX executable ApprovalTests_DocTest_Tests.exe

• Re-enable treating warnings as errors in ApprovalTests_DocTest_Tests/CMakeLists.txt
• Add doctest support to all our documentation
• Add doctest to the help message for when main is not correctly configured

from approvaltests.cpp.

This is now released!
