How should one go about adding unit tests to a package in the RTL? In many
packages, for instance fcl-db, there is a tests folder with fpcunit units and
programs in them, and they're referenced in fpmake.pp as example programs, but
these do not appear to be built or run during a standard build of the RTL.
Separately, there are tests for some packages in the top-level tests/test
folder, which do appear to be run with
make full TEST_FPC=path_to_your_compiler
None of these latter tests use fpcunit.
Do any of the fpcunit tests get run as part of a test cycle?
Historically the tests for packages reside in tests/test/packages/<package>. If
you need to add a new package you need to add it to the TESTPACKAGESDIRS variable in
tests/Makefile.fpc and regenerate the Makefile.(*)
Two, three years ago I also added the ability to have the tests directly in
packages/<package>/tests (it started with the Rtti unit). If you add a new
package this way you need to add it to the TESTPACKAGESDIRECTDIRS variable in
tests/Makefile.fpc and regenerate the Makefile.(*)
In *any* case you have to keep in mind the following:
- for a test to be picked up by the testsuite they need to start with a "t" and end in ".pp" (this means that you
should prefix units that you don't want the testsuite to compile independantly with a "u" instead of a "t" or suffix
them with ".pas" instead of ".pp")
- if it's a program it should return exit code 0 on success and 1 on error
(libraries and units are not executed, they are only checkey for correct
compilation)
- all rtl/packages units are available (which means that you can use fcl-fpcunit for
example, though you should use the "consoletestrunner" (see also
packages/rtl-objpas/tests/testrunner.rtlobjpas.pp))
(*) invoke trunks' fpcmake utility (located in utils/fpcm/bin/<cpu>-<os> after a complete
build) with the parameter "-Tall" inside the tests directory
Thanks for the detailed reply. I will try this out later today. I'm not
actually adding a new package, just making changes to fcl-net, and my tests
already use consoletestrunner, so it should be straightforward. (I know, famous
last words!)
