CU_pSuite CU_add_suite(const char* strName, CU_InitializeFunc pInit, CU_CleanupFunc pClean)
Creates a new test collection (suite) having
the specified name, initialization function, and cleanup function.
The new suite is registered with (and owned by) the
test registry, so the registry must be
initialized before adding any suites.
The current implementation does not support the creation of suites
independent of the test registry. This function may not be called
during a test run (i.e. from a test function or suite
initialization/cleanup function).
It is recommended that the suite's name be unique among all suites in
the registry. This facilitates suite lookup by name, which only finds
the first suite having a given name. The initialization and cleanup
functions are optional, and are passed as pointers to functions to be
called before and after running the tests contained in the suite. This
allows the suite to set up and tear down temporary fixtures to support
running the tests. These functions take no arguments and should return
zero if they are completed successfully (non-zero otherwise). If a
suite does not require one or both of these functions, pass
NULL to CU_add_suite().
A pointer to the new suite is returned, which is needed for adding
tests to the suite. The pointer will be NULL if a fatal
error occurs. In addition, the framework
error code is set to one
of the following:
| CUE_SUCCESS | suite creation was successful. |
| CUE_NOREGISTRY | Error: the registry has not been initialized. |
| CUE_NO_SUITENAME | Error: strName was NULL. |
| CUE_DUP_SUITE | Warning: the suite's name was not unique. |
| CUE_NOMEMORY | Error: memory allocation failed. |
CU_pTest CU_add_test(CU_pSuite pSuite, const char* strName, CU_TestFunc pTestFunc)
Creates a new test having the specified name and
test function, and registers it with the specified suite. The suite
must already have been created using CU_add_suite().
The current implementation does not support the creation of tests
independent of a registered suite. This function may not be called
during a test run (i.e. from a test function or suite
initialization/cleanup function).
It is recommended that the test's name be unique among all tests added
to a single suite. This facilitates lookup of the test by name, which
will find only the 1st test having a given name. The test function cannot
be NULL, and points to a function to be called when the test
is run. Test functions have neither arguments nor return values.
A pointer to the new test is returned. If a fatal error occurs during
creation of the test, NULL is returned. In addition. the
framework error code is set to one of
the following:
| CUE_SUCCESS | suite creation was successful. |
| CUE_NOREGISTRY | Error: the registry has not been initialized. |
| CUE_NOSUITE | Error: the specified suite was NULL or invalid. |
| CUE_NO_TESTNAME | Error: strName was NULL. |
| CUE_NO_TEST | Error: pTestFunc was NULL or invalid. |
| CUE_DUP_TEST | Warning: the test's name was not unique. |
| CUE_NOMEMORY | Error: memory allocation failed. |
#define CU_ADD_TEST(suite, test) (CU_add_test(suite, #test, (CU_TestFunc)test))
This macro automatically generates a unique test name based on the test function name, and adds it to the specified suite. The return value should be checked by the user to verify success.
CU_ErrorCode CU_register_suites(CU_SuiteInfo suite_info[])
CU_ErrorCode CU_register_nsuites(int suite_count, ...)
For large test structures with many tests and suites,
managing test/suite associations and registration is tedious and error-prone.
CUnit provides a special registration system to help manage suites and tests.
Its primary benefit is to centralize the registration of suites and associated
tests, and to minimize the amount of error checking code the user needs to write.
Test cases are first grouped into arrays of CU_TestInfo instances
(defined in <CUnit/TestDB.h>):
CU_TestInfo test_array1[] = {
{ "testname1", test_func1 },
{ "testname2", test_func2 },
{ "testname3", test_func3 },
CU_TEST_INFO_NULL,
};
Each array element contains the (unique) name and test
function for a single test case. The array must end with an element
holding NULL values, which the macro CU_TEST_INFO_NULL
conveniently defines. The test cases included in a single
CU_TestInfo array form the set of tests that will be registered
with a single test suite.
Suite information is then defined in one or more arrays of
CU_SuiteInfo instances (defined in
<CUnit/TestDB.h>):
CU_SuiteInfo suites[] = {
{ "suitename1", suite1_init-func, suite1_cleanup_func, test_array1 },
{ "suitename2", suite2_init-func, suite2_cleanup_func, test_array2 },
CU_SUITE_INFO_NULL,
};
Each of these array elements contain the (unique) name,
suite initialization function, suite cleanup function, and
CU_TestInfo array for a single suite. As usual,
NULL may be used for the initialization or cleanup
function if the given suite does not need it. The array must end
with an all-NULL element, for which the macro
CU_SUITE_INFO_NULL may be used.
All suites defined in a CU_SuiteInfo array can then be
registered in a single statement:
CU_ErrorCode error = CU_register_suites(suites);
If an error occurs during the registration of any suite or test, an error code is returned. The error codes are the same as those returned by normal suite registration and test addition operations. The function CU_register_nsuites() is provided for situations in which the user wishes to register multiple CU_SuiteInfo arrays in a single statement:
CU_ErrorCode error = CU_register_nsuites(2, suites1, suites2);
This function accepts a variable number of CU_SuiteInfo arrays. The first argument indicates the actual number ot arrays being passed.
CU_ErrorCode CU_set_suite_active(CU_pSuite pSuite, CU_BOOL fNewActive)
CU_ErrorCode CU_set_test_active(CU_pTest pTest, CU_BOOL fNewActive)
These functions may be used to deactivate or reactivate
individual tests and suites. A suite or test will not be executed during a
test run unless it is active. All suites and tests are active by default
upon creation. The current active state is available as pSuite->fActive
and pTest->fActive, respectively. The flag will be CU_TRUE
if active and CU_FALSE if not. This gives the client the ability to
choose subsets of tests to run dynamically. Note that it is a framework error
to deactivate a test or suite and then specifically request that it be
run. These functions return
CUE_SUCCESS on success, and CUE_NOSUITE (or
CUE_NOTEST) if the corresponding suite (or test) is NULL.
Normally the attributes of suites and tests are set at creation time.
In some cases, a client may wish to manipulate these to modify the test structure
dynamically. The following functions are provided for this purpose, and should
be used instead of directly setting the value of the data structure members. All
return CUE_SUCCESS on success, and the indicated error code on failure.
Lookup functions are provided to assist clients in locating
specific tests and suites.
CU_ErrorCode CU_set_suite_name(CU_pSuite pSuite, const char *strNewName)
CU_ErrorCode CU_set_test_name(CU_pTest pTest, const char *strNewName)
These functions change the name of registered suites and tests.
The current names are available as the pSuite->pName and
pTest->pName data structure members. If the suite or test is NULL,
then CUE_NOSUITE or CUE_NOTEST is returned, respectively. If
strNewName is NULL, then CUE_NO_SUITENAME or
CUE_NO_TESTNAME is returned, respectively.
CU_ErrorCode CU_set_suite_initfunc(CU_pSuite pSuite, CU_InitializeFunc pNewInit)
CU_ErrorCode CU_set_suite_cleanupfunc(CU_pSuite pSuite, CU_CleanupFunc pNewClean)
These functions change the initialization and cleanup
functions for a registered suite. The current functions are available as the
pSuite->pInitializeFunc and pSuite->pCleanupFunc data structure
members. If the suite is NULL then CUE_NOSUITE is
returned.
CU_ErrorCode CU_set_test_func(CU_pTest pTest, CU_TestFunc pNewFunc)
This function changes the test function for a registered test.
The current test function is available as the pTest->pTestFunc data
structure member. If either pTest or pNewFunc is NULL, then
CUE_NOTEST is returned.
In most cases, clients will have references to registered suites and tests as pointers returned from CU_add_suite() and CU_add_test(). Occassionally, a client may need to be able to retrieve a reference to a suite or test. The following functions are provided to assist clients with this when the client has some information about the entity (name or order of registration). In cases where nothing is known about the suite or test, the client will need to iterate the internal data structures to enumerate the suites and tests. This is not directly supported in the client API.
CU_pSuite CU_get_suite(const char* strName)
CU_pSuite CU_get_suite_at_pos(unsigned int pos)
unsigned int CU_get_suite_pos(CU_pSuite pSuite)
unsigned int CU_get_suite_pos_by_name(const char* strName)
These functions facilitate lookup of suites registered in the
active test registry. The first 2 functions allow
lookup of the suite by name or position and return NULL if the suite cannot
be found. The position is a 1-based index in the range
[1 .. CU_get_registry()->uiNumberOfSuites].
This may be helpful when suites having duplicate names are registered, in which case
lookup by name can only retrieve the 1st suite having that name. The second 2 functions
help the client identify the position of a registered suite. These return 0 if the suite
cannot be found. In addition, all these functions set the CUnit error state to
CUE_NOREGISTRY if the registry is not
initialized. As appropriate, CUE_NO_SUITENAME is set if strName
is NULL, and CUE_NOSUITE is set if pSuite
is NULL.
CU_pTest CU_get_test(CU_pSuite pSuite, const char *strName)
CU_pTest CU_get_test_at_pos(CU_pSuite pSuite, unsigned int pos)
unsigned int CU_get_test_pos(CU_pSuite pSuite, CU_pTest pTest)
unsigned int CU_get_test_pos_by_name(CU_pSuite pSuite, const char *strName)
These functions facilitate lookup of tests registered in suites. The first
2 functions allow lookup of the test by name or position and return NULL if the
test cannot found. The position is a 1-based index in the range [1 .. pSuite->uiNumberOfSuites].
This may be helpful when tests having duplicate names are registered, in which case
lookup by name can only retrieve the 1st test having that name. The second 2 functions
help the client identify the position of a test in a suite. These return 0 if the test
cannot be found. In addition, all these functions set the CUnit error state to
CUE_NOREGISTRY if the registry is not
initialized, and to CUE_NOSUITE if pSuite is NULL.
As appropriate, CUE_NO_TESTNAME is set if strName is
NULL, and CUE_NOTEST is set if pTest is NULL.
