Having said that, IMO it is desirable to convert CppUnitTests to gtests
where possible. Every CppUnitTest has to provide some basic check/pass/fail
infrastructure, and many of them provide their own. Converting to gtest
provides consistency and usually ends up making tests shorter. E.g. a lot
of code like this:
if (!Foo(bar)) {
printf("Foo failed");
return false;
}
becomes this:
ASSERT_TRUE(Foo(bar)) << "Foo failed";
The tests in mfbt/tests/ are good candidates for conversion, if anyone is
in the mood. There is some good gtest documentation here:
https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/docs/Primer.md
https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/docs/AdvancedGuide.md
But the absolute basics (tests go in a 'TEST' block, use ASSERT_* for fatal
failures and EXPECT_* for non-fatal failures) cover most cases.
