I want to kick start the discussion for contributing support for the Google
Test framework support. I have identified 3 stories which should give
Gradle a functional support for Google Test.
Story: Specific class type for CUnit binary
This story makes sure that subsequent test framework are discriminated.
- Add class
org.gradle.nativebinaries.test.cunit.CUnitTestSuiteExecutableBinary which
extends from TestSuiteExecutableBinary
User visible change
- Backward compatibility is kept and the following configure all test
suite binary regardless of there framework.
binaries.withType(TestSuiteExecutableBinary) {
// Target all test binaries
}
- It will now be possible to configure the CUnit test suite binary
individually like this:
binaries.withType(CUnitTestSuiteExecutableBinary) {
// Target only CUnit binaries
}
Test cases
apply 'cunit'
model { testSuites { mainTest { binaires.all { assert it instanceof
CUnitTestSuiteExecutableBinary } } } }
Story: RunTestExecutable can take arguments
This story make it possible to passed arguments to the test binary.
Espacially useful for more advance test framework like Google Test.
User visible change
- tasks.withType(RunTestExecutable).all {
testArgs '--args-to-pass', '-v'
}
Open issues
- Is testArgs a good name for the property on the RunTestExecutable task.
Story: Google Test support
This story adds support for the Google Test framework.
Note that the implementation is highly based on the current CUnit
implementation.
- Add class org.gradle.nativebinaries.test.googletest.GoogleTestTestSuite
- Add class
org.gradle.nativebinaires.test.googletest.GoogleTestTestSuiteExecutableBinary
- Add class
org.gradle.nativebinaires.test.googletest.plugins.GoogleTestPlugin
- Add class
org.gradle.nativebinaires.test.googletest.internal.DefaultGoogleTestTestSuite
- Add class
org.gradle.nativebinaires.test.googletest.internal.ConfigureGoogleTestTestSources
- Add class
org.gradle.nativebinaires.test.googletest.internal.CreateGoogleTestBinaries
Open issues
- Should the package name be 'googletest' or 'gtest' ('gtest' is used for
there include namespace in c++)?
- Should the C++ source set for Google Test named 'googletest' or 'gtest'?
- How can we refactor CUnit code for reusability with Google Test? The
process is the same - configure test source, create binaries, etc. - but
yet different.
