*
* KUnitTest is based on the "in reality no one wants to write tests and
* if it takes a lot of code no one will. So the less code to write the
* better" design principle.
*
* Copyright and credits:
* @li (C) 2004 Zack Rusin (original author)
* @li Brad Hards (import into CVS)
* @li (C) 2005 Jeroen Wijnhout (GUI, library, module)
*
* You are responsible for what you do with it though. It
* is licensed under a BSD license - read the top of each file.
*
* All the GUI related stuff is in tdesdk/tdeunittest, the core libraries are in tdelibs/tdeunittest.
* A simple example modules is in kdelisbs/tdeunittest/samplemodule.{h,cpp}, however more examples
* can be found in tdesdk/tdeunittest/example.
*
* There are roughly two ways to use the KUnitTest library. Either you create dynamically
* loadable modules and use the tdeunittestmodrunner or tdeunittestguimodrunner programs to run
* the tests, or you use the tdeunittest/tdeunittestgui library to create your own test runner
* application.
*
* The main parts of the KUnitTest library are:
* @li runner.{h,cpp} - it is the tester runner, holds all tests and runs
* them.
* @li runnergui.{h,cpp} - the GUI wrapper around the runner. The GUI neatly organizes the
* test results. With the tdeunittest helper script it can even add the debug output
* to the test results. For this you need to have the tdesdk module installed.
* @li tester.h - which holds the base of a pure test object (Tester).
* @li module.h - defines macros to create a dynamically loadable module.
*
* @section usage Example usage
*
* This section describes how to use the library to create your own tests and runner
* application.
*
* Now lets see how you would add a new test to KUnitTest. You do that by
* writting a Tester derived class which has an "allTests()" method:
*
* @code
* class SampleTest : public Tester
* {
* public:
* SampleTest();
*
* void allTests();
* };
* @endcode
*
* Now in the allTests() method we implement our tests, which might look
* like:
*
* @code
* void SampleTest::allTests()
* {
* CHECK( 3+3, 6 );
* CHECK( TQString( "hello%1" ).arg( " world not" ), TQString( "hello world" ) );
* }
* @endcode
*
* CHECK() is implemented using a template, so you get type safe
* comparison. All that is needed is that the argument types have an
* @c operator==() defined.
*
* Now that you did that the only other thing to do is to tell the
* framework to add this test case, by using the TDEUNITTEST_REGISTER_TESTER(x) macro. Just
* put the following line in the implementation file:
*
* @code TDEUNITTEST_REGISTER_TESTER( SampleTest ); @endcode
*
* Note the ;, it is necessary.
*
* KUnitTest will do the rest. It will tell you which tests failed, how, what was the expected
* result, what was the result it got, what was the code that failed and so on. For example for
* the code above it would output:
*
* @verbatim
SampleTest - 1 test passed, 1 test failed
Unexpected failure:
sampletest.cpp[38]: failed on "TQString( "hello%1" ).arg( " world not" )"
result = 'hello world not', expected = 'hello world'
@endverbatim
*
* If you use the RunnerGUI class then you will be presented with a scrollable list of the
* test results.
*
* @section integration Integration
*
* The KUnitTest library is easy to use. Let's say that you have the tests written in the
* sampletest.h and sampletest.cpp files. Then all you need is a main.cpp file and a Makefile.am.
* You can copy both from the example file provided with the library. A typical main.cpp file
* looks like this:
*
* @code
* #include <tdeaboutdata.h>
* #include <tdeapplication.h>
* #include <tdecmdlineargs.h>
* #include <tdecmdlineargs.h>
* #include <tdelocale.h>
* #include <tdeunittest/runnergui.h>
*
* static const char description[] = I18N_NOOP("SampleTests");
* static const char version[] = "0.1";
* static TDECmdLineOptions options[] = { TDECmdLineLastOption };
*
* int main( int argc, char** argv )
* {
* TDEAboutData about("SampleTests", I18N_NOOP("SampleTests"), version, description,
* TDEAboutData::License_BSD, "(C) 2005 You!", 0, 0, "mail@provider");
*
* TDECmdLineArgs::init(argc, argv, &about);
* TDECmdLineArgs::addCmdLineOptions( options );
* TDEApplication app;
*
* KUnitTest::RunnerGUI runner(0);
* runner.show();
* app.setMainWidget(&runner);
*
* return app.exec();
* }
* @endcode
*
* The Makefile.am file will look like:
*
* @code
* INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir)/src $(all_includes)
* METASOURCES = AUTO
* check_PROGRAMS = sampletests
* sampletests_SOURCES = main.cpp sampletest.cpp
* sampletests_LDFLAGS = $(KDE_RPATH) $(all_libraries)
* sampletests_LDADD = -ltdeunittest
* noinst_HEADERS = sampletest.h
*
* check:
* tdeunittest $(top_builddir)/src/sampletests SampleTests
* @endcode
*
* Most of this Makefile.am will be self-explanatory. After running
* "make check" the binary "sampletests" will be built. The reason for
* adding the extra make target "check" is that you probably do not want
* to rebuild the test suite everytime you run make.
*
* You can run the binary on its own, but you get more functionality if you use
* the tdeunittest helper script. The Makefile.am is set up in such
* a way that this helper script is automatically run after you do a
* "make check". This scripts take two arguments, the first is the path
* to the binary to run. The second the application name, in this case SampleTests.
* This name is important since it is used to let the script communicate with the application
* via DCOP. The helper scripts relies on the Perl DCOP bindings, so these need to be installed.
*
* @section module Creating test modules
*
* If you think that writing your own test runner if too much work then you can also
* use the tdeunittestermodrunner application or the kunitguimodrunner script to run
* the tests for you. You do have to put your tests in a dynamically loadable module though.
* Fortunately KUnitTest comes with a few macros to help you do this.
*
* First the good news, you don't have to change the header file sampletest.h. However, we
* will rename it to samplemodule.h, so we remember we are making a module. The
* implementation file should be rename to samplemodule.cpp. This file requires some
* modifications. First we need to include the module.h header:
*
* @code
* #include <tdeunittest/module.h>
* @endcode
*
* This header file is needed because it defines some macro you'll need. In fact this is
* how you use them:
*
* @code
* TDEUNITTEST_MODULE( tdeunittest_samplemodule, "Tests for sample module" );
* TDEUNITTEST_MODULE_REGISTER_TESTER( SimpleSampleTester );
* TDEUNITTEST_MODULE_REGISTER_TESTER( SomeSampleTester );
* @endcode
*
* The first macro, TDEUNITTEST_MODULE(), makes sure that the module can be loaded and that
* the test classes are created. The first argument "tdeunittest_samplemodule" is the library
* name, in this case the library we're creating a tdeunittest_samplemodule.la module. The
* second argument is name which will appear in the test runner for this test suite.
*
* The tester class are now added by the TDEUNITTEST_MODULE_REGISTER_TESTER() macro, not the
* TDEUNITTEST_REGISTER_TESTER(). The only difference between the two is that you have to
* pass the module class name to this macro.
*
* The Makefile.am is also a bit different, but not much:
*
* @code
* INCLUDES = -I$(top_srcdir)/include $(all_includes)
* METASOURCES = AUTO
* check_LTLIBRARIES = tdeunittest_samplemodule.la
* tdeunittest_samplemodule_la_SOURCES = samplemodule.cpp
* tdeunittest_samplemodule_la_LIBADD = $(LIB_TDEUNITTEST)
* tdeunittest_samplemodule_la_LDFLAGS = -module $(KDE_CHECK_PLUGIN) $(all_libraries)
* @endcode
*
* The $(KDE_CHECK_PLUGIN) macro is there to make sure a dynamically loadable
* module is created.
*
* After you have built the module you open a Konsole and cd into the build folder. Running
* the tests in the module is now as easy as:
*
* @code
* $ make check && tdeunittestmodrunner
* @endcode
*
* The tdeunittestmodrunner application loads all tdeunittest_*.la modules in the current
* directory. The exit code of this console application is the number of unexpected failures.
*
* If you want the GUI, you should use the tdeunittestmod script:
*
* @code
* $ make check && tdeunittestmod
* @endcode
*
* This script starts tdeunittestguimodrunner application and a helper script to take
* care of dealing with debug output.
*
* @section advanced Advanced usage
*
* Normally you just want to use CHECK(). If you are developing some more
* tests, and they are run (or not) based on some external dependency,
* you may need to skip some tests. In this case, rather than doing
* nothing (or worse, writing a test step that aborts the test run), you
* might want to use SKIP() to record that. Note that this is just a
* logging / reporting tool, so you just pass in a string:
*
* @code
* SKIP( "Test skipped because of lack of foo support." );
* @endcode
*
* Similarly, you may have a test step that you know will fail, but you
* don't want to delete the test step (because it is showing a bug), but
* equally you can't fix it right now (eg it would break binary
* compatibility, or would violate a string freeze). In that case, it
* might help to use XFAIL(), for "expected failure". The test will still
* be run, and recorded as a failure (assuming it does fail), but will
* also be recorded separately. Usage might be as follows:
*
* @code
* XFAIL( 2+1, 4 );
* @endcode
*
* You can mix CHECK(), SKIP() and XFAIL() within a single Tester derived
* class.
*
*
* @section exceptions Exceptions
*
* KUnitTest comes with simple support for testing whether an exception, such as a function call,
* throws an exception or not. Simply, for the usual macros there corresponding ones for
* exception testing: CHECK_EXCEPTION(), XFAIL_EXCEPTION(), and SKIP_EXCEPTION(). They all take two
* arguments: the expression that will catch the exception, and the expression that is supposed
* to throw the exception.
*
* For example:
*
* @code
* CHECK_EXCEPTION(EvilToothFairyException *, myFunction("I forgot to brush my teeth!"));
* @endcode
*
* @note The exception is not de-allocated in anyway.
*
* The macros does not allow introspection of the exceptions, such as testing a supplied
* identifier code on the exception object or similar; this requires manual coding, such
* as custom macros.
*
* @section scripts Scripts
*
* The library comes with several helper scripts:
*
* @li tdeunittest [app] [dcopobject] : Runs the application app and redirects all debug output to the dcopobject.
* @li tdeunittestmod --folder [folder] --query [query] : Loads and runs all modules in the folder matching the query. Use a GUI.
* @li tdeunittest_debughelper [dcopobject] : A PERL script that is able to redirect debug output to a RunnerGUI instance.
*
* These scripts are part of the tdesdk/tdeunittest module.
