Description
Function comparators in µTest++ provide a clear and expressive way to compare actual and expected values within test cases. While any expression yielding a boolean value may be used in expectations and assumptions, dedicated comparator functions such as eq, ne, lt, le, gt, and ge offer enhanced reporting by explicitly showing the values involved when a check fails.
Using these comparators ensures that, in the event of a failed check, the test output will include both the actual and expected values, making it easier to diagnose issues and understand the cause of the failure.
Comparators are available for both fundamental types and standard containers. When comparing containers, each element is assessed individually, and the results are reported in detail.
- Examples
mt::expect (mt::eq (compute_answer (), 42)) << "answer is 42";
mt::expect (mt::ne (compute_answer (), 43)) << "answer is not 43";
mt::expect (mt::lt (compute_answer (), 43)) << "answer is < 43";
mt::expect (mt::le (compute_answer (), 43)) << "answer is <= 42";
mt::expect (mt::gt (compute_answer (), 41)) << "answer is > 43";
mt::expect (mt::ge (compute_answer (), 42)) << "answer is >= 42";
mt::expect (compute_condition ()) << "condition is true";
If a comparator check fails, the output will clearly indicate the actual and expected values:
Check failed comparisons
✗ actual != 42 FAILED (unit-test.cpp:286, 42 != 42)
✗ FAILED (unit-test.cpp:307, 42 != 42)
✗ 42 != 42_i FAILED (unit-test.cpp:310, 42 != 42)
✗ (actual == 42) and (actual != 42.0) FAILED (unit-test.cpp:781, (42 == 42
and 42.000000 != 42.000000))
Comparing containers
Containers can be compared for equality or inequality using the same comparator functions. The comparison is performed by iterating through each element and evaluating them individually.
- Examples
mt::expect (mt::eq (std::vector<int>{ 1, 2 }, std::vector<int>{ 1, 2 }))
<< "vector{ 1, 2 } eq vector{ 1, 2 }";
mt::expect (mt::ne (std::vector<int>{ 1, 2, 3 }, std::vector<int>{ 1, 2, 4 })
<< "vector{ 1, 2, 3 } ne vector{ 1, 2, 4 }";
