--------------------------------------
Summary: Fail unit tests with more friendly output if the
boost-test library is not present
Key: QPID-8251
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-8251
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: C++ Broker
Affects Versions: qpid-cpp-1.39.0
Reporter: Chris Richardson
If the boost-test library is not present, cmake logs a warning:
"-- Could not find unit testing library - will not build unit tests"
(see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-5260)
This is easy to miss and leads to a failure in the unit tests with some rather
ugly output (see test output below) due to the unit_tests binary and indeed
entire make target not being created.
Those unfamiliar with the testing framework (like me) may spend quite some time
connecting the resulting "valgrind: unit_test: command not found" error message
to the above cmake warning, so it might be nice to have eg: the
"run_unit_tests" script output an additional message explaining the probable
cause.
Test output:
