[Boost] Command Line to run a specific Boost Test Case using BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE

[Hemanth Choudary M V (RBEI/ETA1)]

Hi,

I would like to run this boost test case using the command line.
Please note that the list contains data types that have 2 or more words.
I need to know what to pass in the Command Line for -run_test=__________


#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE example
#include <boost/test/included/unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/test/test_case_template.hpp>
#include <boost/mpl/list.hpp>

//____________________________________________________________________________//

typedef boost::mpl::list<long long,unsigned char> test_types;

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE_TEMPLATE( my_test, T, test_types )
{
BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL( sizeof(T), (unsigned)4 );
}

//_


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best Regards,

You actually have 2 test cases here. To run one you'll need to do this:

test.exe --run_test="my_test<long long>"

to run all:

test.exe --run_test="my_test*"

(tested on windows with latest trunk, but I believe it should work in
release version as well).

If you run the test executable with --report_level=detailed you will
see the names of all the suites and tests cases as the execution
proceeeds.

You can also use this to debug arguments to --run_test.

With your code on Windows and boost 1.53 I get the following output

ConsoleApplication1.exe --report_level=detailed

Running 2 test cases...
d:/code/tmp/consoleapplication1/consoleapplication1/main.cpp(13): error in "my_test<__int64>": check sizeof(T) == (unsigned)4 failed [8 != 4]
d:/code/tmp/consoleapplication1/consoleapplication1/main.cpp(13): error in "my_test<unsigned char>": check sizeof(T) == (unsigned)4 failed [1 != 4]

Test suite "example" failed with:
2 assertions out of 2 failed
2 test cases out of 2 failed

Test case "my_test<__int64>" failed with:
1 assertion out of 1 failed

Test case "my_test<unsigned char>" failed with:
1 assertion out of 1 failed

Note that boost.test turned "long long" into "__int64", which may be
why you had difficulty specifying the name of the test.
