Description

The test runner for the µTest++ framework.

The test_runner class is responsible for managing the registration and execution of test suites within the µTest++ framework. It maintains a collection of test suites, each of which registers itself automatically upon construction, enabling seamless integration and execution of tests across different components and folders of a project.

The test runner provides methods for initialising the test environment, registering test suites, retrieving the runner's name, and determining the overall test result via an exit code. It also offers an abort mechanism for terminating test execution in exceptional circumstances.

All members and methods are defined within the micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus namespace, ensuring clear separation from user code and minimising the risk of naming conflicts.

Public Constructors

test_runner()

micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus::test_runner::test_runner ()

Default constructor for the test_runner class.

The rule of five is enforced to prevent accidental copying or moving.

The constructor initialises a new instance of the test_runner class, preparing the test runner for managing test suites and cases within the µTest++ framework. If tracing is enabled, it outputs the function signature for diagnostic purposes. This setup ensures the test runner is ready to coordinate the registration, execution, and reporting of tests across all test cases and folders.

Public Member Functions

abort()

void micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus::test_runner::abort (void)

Aborts test execution immediately.

Parameters

None.

Returns

Nothing.

This method immediately terminates the process by invoking the standard C library abort() function. It is used to halt test execution in critical failure scenarios, ensuring that no further tests are run and that the cause of the failure can be promptly investigated. This approach provides a robust mechanism for enforcing strict test outcomes across all test cases and folders.

Declaration at line 192 of file test-runner.h, definition at line 255 of file test-runner.cpp.

exit_code()

int micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus::test_runner::exit_code (void)

Returns 0 if all tests were successful, 1 otherwise.

Parameters

None.

Returns

Integer exit code representing the overall test result.

Declaration at line 157 of file test-runner.h, definition at line 190 of file test-runner.cpp.

initialize()

void micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus::test_runner::initialize (int argc, char * argv=[], const char * name)

Initialises the test runner with command-line arguments and an optional suite name.

Parameters
argcThe argument count from main().
argvThe argument vector from main().
nameThe name of the default test suite.
Returns

Nothing.

This method initialises the test runner by capturing the command-line arguments and the default test suite name, configuring the framework for subsequent test execution. It parses the arguments to determine the desired verbosity level (normal, verbose, quiet, or silent) and applies this setting to the test reporter. The method also outputs build and environment information when appropriate, aiding diagnostics and transparency. Finally, it creates and registers the default test suite, preparing the framework to manage and execute all test cases and suites across the project’s folders.

Declaration at line 147 of file test-runner.h, definition at line 96 of file test-runner.cpp.

name()

const char * micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus::test_runner::name (void)
inlineconstexpr

Retrieves the name of the default test suite.

Parameters

None.

Returns

The name of the default test suite as a constant character pointer.

Definition at line 178 of file test-runner.h.

register_test_suite()

void micro_os_plus::micro_test_plus::test_runner::register_test_suite (test_suite_base * suite)

Registers a test suite with the runner.

Parameters
suitePointer to the test suite to register.
Returns

Nothing.

This method registers a new test suite with the test runner. If the internal collection of test suites has not yet been created, it is initialised at this point. The provided test suite is then added to the collection, enabling the framework to manage and execute multiple test suites across different files and folders within the project.

Called by test suite constructors to register themselves with the runner, enabling automatic management and execution.
