Suppose we’ve written an application library in Unison, We could do some test to make sure that it works as expected.

In this article, we’ll walk through writing a simple testcase in Unison with
googletest.

What is googletest?

  • Google’s C++ test framework. https://github.com/google/googletest
  • You’ll find the document here https://github.com/google/googletest/tree/master/googletest/docs.
  • It will be a good start to read this https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/docs/primer.md.

Build googletest as a shared library

First of all, to work in Unison, we need to build googletest into a shared library.

Choose the right version of googletest

Starting from version v1.10.0, googletest requires the compiler support C++11 standard, while version 1.8.x is the last releases that works with pre-C++11 compilers.

  • For CentOS 7, the gcc (version 4.8.x) fully supports C++11, so the latest version would be prefered.
  • For CentOS 6, the gcc (version 4.4.x) support only part of C++11, so only v1.8.x is available. Still, with the experimental C++0x, part of C++11 features is provided.

Get source code of googletest

You can clone the git repository, or download the source tarball.
In this example, release-v1.10.0 will be used. we’ll build it under ~/build-googletest

  • Clone git repository

    mkdir ~/build-googletest
cd ~/build-googletest
git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git
cd googletest
# list all released version
git tag
# possible output:
    release-1.0.0
    release-1.0.1
    release-1.1.0
    release-1.10.0
    release-1.2.0
    release-1.2.1
    release-1.3.0
    release-1.4.0
    release-1.5.0
    release-1.6.0
    release-1.7.0
    release-1.8.0
    release-1.8.1
    v1.10.x # unreleased
# we'll check out the latest release
git checkout release-1.10.0

  • Download source tarball

    mkdir ~/build-googletest
cd ~/build-googletest
wget https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/release-1.10.0.tar.gz
tar xzf googletest-release-1.10.0.tar.gz

Build shared library

I’ve created a github repository alancprc/google-test-build-as-shared-lib, containing the Makefile to build googletest as a shared library, you should get the Makefile before going on.

  • Put the Makefile under ~/build-googletest
  • The default option in Makefile is -m64, which tells the compiler to generate code for a 64-bit environment. -m64 is for U1709+, you’ll need to replace -m64 with -m32 for Unison 4.x
  • Run make to build

  • If everything goes well, you’ll get following .so files

    libgtest.so
libgtest_main.so
libgmock.so
libgmock_main.so

    and the following output

    Running main() from gmock_main.cc
[==========] Running 6 tests from 2 test cases.
[----------] Global test environment set-up.
[----------] 3 tests from FactorialTest
[RUN] FactorialTest.Negative

[----------] 3 tests from IsPrimeTest (0 ms total)

[----------] Global test environment tear-down
[==========] 6 tests from 2 test cases ran. (0 ms total)
[PASSED] 6 tests.

Install googletest to system directories

  • Put the generated shared libraries into /usr/lib64, or /usr/lib if -m32 option is set. root permission is required.

    cp -at /usr/lib64/ libgtest*.so libgmock*.so

  • put the header files to /usr/local/include

    cp -at /usr/local/include ./googletest/googletest/include/gtest ./googletest/googletest/include/gmock

Use googletest in Unison application library

Library to test

In this example, we create a Unison application library called UnisonUtil, containing files unison-util.h and unison-util.cpp, providing a simple function void removeTrailNewLine(StringS &str). The source code is as follows:

  • unison-util.h

    #pragma once
#include <Unison.h>

namespace util {

/** @brief remove trailing new line '\n' in string.*/
void removeTrailNewLine(StringS &str);

}  // namespace util

  • unison-util.cpp

    #include "unison-util.h"

namespace util {void removeTrailNewLine(StringS &str)
{int len = str.Length();
  if (len and str[len - 1] == '\n') {str.Erase(len - 1, 1);
  }
}

}  // namespace util

Create UnitTest application library

  1. Create an application library UnitTest in Unison TestTool.

  2. Add a source file unittest.cpp, with following code

    #include <gmock/gmock.h>
#include "unison-util.h"

using namespace std;

TMResultM StartGTest()
{
 int argc = 1;
 const char* argv[] = {"a.out"};

 std::cout << "\n\n\nRunning main() from unittest.cpp\n";
 testing::InitGoogleMock(&argc, const_cast<char**>(argv));
 int result = RUN_ALL_TESTS();
 return result == 0 ? TM_PASS : TM_FAIL;
}

TEST(UtilFuncTest, removeTrailNewLineTest)
{
 StringS str = "hello world\n";
 util::removeTrailNewLine(str);
 util::removeTrailNewLine(str);
 EXPECT_STREQ(str, "hello world");
}

Set up the UnitTest library

  • Add following to Compiler Flags

    -pthread
-DGTEST_LINKED_AS_SHARED_LIBRARY=1
-fno-gnu-unique

  • Add following to Linker Flags

    -lpthread
-lgmock -lgtest

  • Add include path for UnisonUtil and googletest

    ./                      # include path for UnisonUtil
/usr/local/include      # include path for googletest
  • Add library UnisonUtil as dependency

Build and start test

  • build UnitTest library
  • Create a TestGroup tgStartGTest, which calls StartGTest() function

  • Execute the TestGroup
    you should see the following output in dataviewer

    Running main() from unittest.cpp
[==========] Running 1 test from 1 test suite.
[----------] Global test environment set-up.
[----------] 1 test from UtilFuncTest
[RUN] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest
[OK] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest (0 ms)
[----------] 1 test from UtilFuncTest (0 ms total)

[----------] Global test environment tear-down
[==========] 1 test from 1 test suite ran. (0 ms total)
[PASSED] 1 test.

Known issue

  • Unable to close the dynamic-linked library file

    • This error may occur on CentOS 7 or CentOS 6 with an updated gcc version. To solve this error, add compiler flag -fno-gnu-unique to the application library.

Why not build googletest into a Unison application library?

Though installing googletest into system directory is disencouraged by googletest document, I found it necessary to use it in Unison.
I’ve tried to build googletest into a Unison application library, but when the library gets re-compiled, the tests get duplicated, which is really annoying.
For example, if the above test uses a googletest as a Unison application library, it’ll become something like following after re-compiling UnisonUtil library.

Running main() from unittest.cpp
[==========] Running 2 tests from 1 test suites.
[----------] Global test environment set-up.
[----------] 2 tests from UtilFuncTest
[RUN] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest
[OK] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest (0 ms)
[RUN] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest
[OK] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest (0 ms)
[----------] 2 tests from UtilFuncTest (0 ms total)

[----------] Global test environment tear-down
[==========] 2 tests from 1 test suites ran. (0 ms total)
[PASSED] 2 tests.

if the UnisonUtil library gets another re-compiling, the output becomes as follows.

Running main() from unittest.cpp
[==========] Running 3 tests from 1 test suites.
[----------] Global test environment set-up.
[----------] 3 tests from UtilFuncTest
[RUN] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest
[OK] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest (0 ms)
[RUN] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest
[OK] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest (0 ms)
[RUN] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest
[OK] UtilFuncTest.removeTrailNewLineTest (0 ms)
[----------] 3 tests from UtilFuncTest (0 ms total)

[----------] Global test environment tear-down
[==========] 3 tests from 1 test suites ran. (0 ms total)
[PASSED] 3 tests.
