Command line options

Verbosity

By default, the µTest++ reporter shows detailed results only for the failed test cases; successful test cases are shown as a single line with the total counts of passed/failed checks.

Example

test 1
      Start  1: minimal-test
 
1: Test command: /Users/ilg/MyProjects/micro-os-plus.github/xPacks/micro-test-plus-xpack.git/tests/build/native-cmake-sys-release/platform-bin/minimal-test "one" "two"
1: Working Directory: /Users/ilg/MyProjects/micro-os-plus.github/xPacks/micro-test-plus-xpack.git/tests/build/native-cmake-sys-release/platform-bin
1: Test timeout computed to be: 10000000
1: Built with clang Apple LLVM 15.0.0 (clang-1500.0.40.1), with exceptions.
1:
1: • Minimal - test suite started
1:
1:   ✓ Check various conditions - test case passed (2 checks)
1:
1: ✓ Minimal - test suite passed (2 checks in 1 test case)
 1/12 Test  #1: minimal-test .....................   Passed    0.00 sec

To control the verbosity, one of the following command line options can be used:

• --verbose - show all expectations, regardless of the result
• --quiet - show only the test suite totals
• --silent - suppress all output and only return the exit code

Note

The source code of the test is in tests/src/minimal-test.cpp.

Verbose mode

When in verbose mode, the µTest++ reporter shows all expectations, regardless of the result.

Example

test 2
      Start  2: minimal-test --verbose
 
2: Test command: /Users/ilg/MyProjects/micro-os-plus.github/xPacks/micro-test-plus-xpack.git/tests/build/native-cmake-sys-release/platform-bin/minimal-test "one" "two" "--verbose"
2: Working Directory: /Users/ilg/MyProjects/micro-os-plus.github/xPacks/micro-test-plus-xpack.git/tests/build/native-cmake-sys-release/platform-bin
2: Test timeout computed to be: 10000000
2: Built with clang Apple LLVM 15.0.0 (clang-1500.0.40.1), with exceptions.
2:
2: • Minimal - test suite started
2:
2:   • Check various conditions - test case started
2:     ✓ answer is 42
2:     ✓ condition is true
2:   ✓ Check various conditions - test case passed (2 checks)
2:
2: ✓ Minimal - test suite passed (2 checks in 1 test case)
 2/12 Test  #2: minimal-test --verbose ...........   Passed    0.00 sec

Quiet mode

When in quiet mode, the µTest++ reporter shows only the test suite totals.

Example

test 3
      Start  3: minimal-test --quiet
 
3: Test command: /Users/ilg/MyProjects/micro-os-plus.github/xPacks/micro-test-plus-xpack.git/tests/build/native-cmake-sys-release/platform-bin/minimal-test "one" "two" "--quiet"
3: Working Directory: /Users/ilg/MyProjects/micro-os-plus.github/xPacks/micro-test-plus-xpack.git/tests/build/native-cmake-sys-release/platform-bin
3: Test timeout computed to be: 10000000
3:
3: ✓ Minimal - test suite passed (2 checks in 1 test case)
 3/12 Test  #3: minimal-test --quiet .............   Passed    0.00 sec

Silent mode

When in silent mode, the µTest++ reporter suppresses all output and the framework only returns the exit code.

Example

test 4
      Start  4: minimal-test --silent
 
4: Test command: /Users/ilg/MyProjects/micro-os-plus.github/xPacks/micro-test-plus-xpack.git/tests/build/native-cmake-sys-release/platform-bin/minimal-test "one" "two" "--silent"
4: Working Directory: /Users/ilg/MyProjects/micro-os-plus.github/xPacks/micro-test-plus-xpack.git/tests/build/native-cmake-sys-release/platform-bin
4: Test timeout computed to be: 10000000
4:
 4/12 Test  #4: minimal-test --silent ............   Passed    0.00 sec
