Google C++ Testing Framework
============================
http://code.google.com/p/googletest/
Overview
--------
Google's framework for writing C++ tests on a variety of platforms (Linux, Mac
OS X, Windows, Windows CE, Symbian, and etc). Based on the xUnit architecture.
Supports automatic test discovery, a rich set of assertions, user-defined
assertions, death tests, fatal and non-fatal failures, various options for
running the tests, and XML test report generation.
Please see the project page above for more information as well as mailing lists
for questions, discussions, and development. There is also an IRC channel on
OFTC (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available. Please join us!

Requirements for End Users
--------------------------
Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build
and use with your projects, but there are some. Currently, we support
building Google Test on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Cygwin. We will
also make our best effort to support other platforms (e.g. Solaris and
IBM z/OS). However, since core members of the Google Test project
have no access to them, Google Test may have outstanding issues on
these platforms. If you notice any problems on your platform, please
notify googletestframework@googlegroups.com (patches for fixing them
are even more welcome!).
Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Cygwin. We will also make our best
effort to support other platforms (e.g. Solaris, AIX, and z/OS).
However, since core members of the Google Test project have no access
to these platforms, Google Test may have outstanding issues there. If
you notice any problems on your platform, please notify
googletestframework@googlegroups.com. Patches for fixing them are
even more welcome!
### Linux Requirements ###
These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source
package (as described below):
* GNU-compatible Make or "gmake"
* GNU-compatible Make or gmake
* POSIX-standard shell
* POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
* A C++98 standards compliant compiler
Furthermore, if you are building Google Test from a VCS Checkout (also
described below), there are further requirements:
* Automake version 1.9 or newer
* Autoconf version 2.59 or newer
* Libtool / Libtoolize
* Python version 2.4 or newer
* A C++98-standard-compliant compiler
### Windows Requirements ###
* Microsoft Visual Studio 7.1 or newer
* Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 or newer
### Cygwin Requirements ###
* Cygwin 1.5.25-14 or newer
### Mac OS X Requirements ###
* Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer
* Developer Tools Installed
* Optional: Xcode 2.5 or later for univeral-binary framework; see note below.
Also, you'll need CMake 2.6.4 or higher if you want to build the
samples using the provided CMake script, regardless of the platform.
Requirements for Contributors
-----------------------------
We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
build Google Test and its own tests from an SVN checkout (described
below), which has further requirements:
* Python version 2.3 or newer (for running some of the tests and
re-generating certain source files from templates)
* CMake 2.6.4 or newer
Getting the Source
------------------
There are two primary ways of getting Google Test's source code: you can
download a source release in your preferred archive format, or directly check
out the source from a Version Control System (VCS, we use Google Code's
Subversion hosting). The VCS checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra
software packages on your system, but lets you track development, and make
patches to contribute much more easily, so we highly encourage it.
### VCS Checkout: ###
The first step is to select whether you want to check out the main line of
development on Google Test, or one of the released branches. The former will be
much more active and have the latest features, but the latter provides much
more stability and predictability. Choose whichever fits your needs best, and
proceed with the following Subversion commands:

The SVN checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra software
packages on your system, but lets you track the latest development and
make patches much more easily, so we highly encourage it.
### Source Package ###
Google Test is released in versioned source packages which can be
downloaded from the download page [1]. Several different archive
formats are provided, but the only difference is the tools used to
manipulate them, and the size of the resulting file. Download
whichever you are most comfortable with.
[1] http://code.google.com/p/googletest/downloads/list
Once the package is downloaded, expand it using whichever tools you
prefer for that type. This will result in a new directory with the
name "gtest-X.Y.Z" which contains all of the source code. Here are
some examples on Linux:
tar -xvzf gtest-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
tar -xvjf gtest-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
unzip gtest-X.Y.Z.zip
### SVN Checkout ###
To check out the main branch (also known as the "trunk") of Google
Test, run the following Subversion command:
svn checkout http://googletest.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ gtest-svn
or for a release version X.Y.*'s branch:
Setting up the Build
--------------------
svn checkout http://googletest.googlecode.com/svn/branches/release-X.Y/ \
gtest-X.Y-svn
To build Google Test and your tests that use it, you need to tell your
build system where to find its headers and source files. The exact
way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually
straightforward.
Next you will need to prepare the GNU Autotools build system, if you
are using Linux, Mac OS X, or Cygwin. Enter the target directory of
the checkout command you used ('gtest-svn' or 'gtest-X.Y-svn' above)
and proceed with the following command:
### Generic Build Instructions ###
autoreconf -fvi
Suppose you put Google Test in directory ${GTEST_DIR}. To build it,
create a library build target (or a project as called by Visual Studio
and Xcode) to compile
Once you have completed this step, you are ready to build the library. Note
that you should only need to complete this step once. The subsequent `make'
invocations will automatically re-generate the bits of the build system that
need to be changed.
${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc
If your system uses older versions of the autotools, the above command will
fail. You may need to explicitly specify a version to use. For instance, if you
have both GNU Automake 1.4 and 1.9 installed and `automake' would invoke the
1.4, use instead:
with
AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 autoreconf -fvi
${GTEST_DIR}/include and ${GTEST_DIR}
Make sure you're using the same version of automake and aclocal.
in the header search path. Assuming a Linux-like system and gcc,
something like the following will do:
### Source Package: ###
Google Test is also released in source packages which can be downloaded from
its Google Code download page[1]. Several different archive formats are
provided, but the only difference is the tools used to manipulate them, and the
size of the resulting file. Download whichever you are most comfortable with.
g++ -I${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} -c ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc
ar -rv libgtest.a gtest-all.o
[1] Google Test Downloads: http://code.google.com/p/googletest/downloads/list
Next, you should compile your test source file with
${GTEST_DIR}/include in the header search path, and link it with gtest
and any other necessary libraries:
Once downloaded expand the archive using whichever tools you prefer for that
type. This will always result in a new directory with the name "gtest-X.Y.Z"
which contains all of the source code. Here are some examples in Linux:
g++ -I${GTEST_DIR}/include path/to/your_test.cc libgtest.a -o your_test
tar -xvzf gtest-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
tar -xvjf gtest-X.Y.Z.tar.bz2
unzip gtest-X.Y.Z.zip
As an example, the make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can
use to build Google Test on systems where GNU make is available
(e.g. Linux, Mac OS X, and Cygwin). It doesn't try to build Google
Test's own tests. Instead, it just builds the Google Test library and
a sample test. You can use it as a starting point for your own build
script.
If the default settings are correct for your environment, the
following commands should succeed:
cd ${GTEST_DIR}/make
make
./sample1_unittest
If you see errors, try to tweak the contents of make/Makefile to make
them go away. There are instructions in make/Makefile on how to do
it.
### Using CMake ###
Google Test comes with a CMake build script (CMakeLists.txt) that can
be used on a wide range of platforms ("C" stands for cross-platofrm.).
If you don't have CMake installed already, you can download it for
free from http://www.cmake.org/.
CMake works by generating native makefiles or build projects that can
be used in the compiler environment of your choice. The typical
workflow starts with:
mkdir mybuild # Create a directory to hold the build output.
cd mybuild
cmake ${GTEST_DIR} # Generate native build scripts.
If you want to build Google Test's samples, you should replace the
last command with
cmake -Dbuild_gtest_samples=ON ${GTEST_DIR}
If you are on a *nix system, you should now see a Makefile in the
current directory. Just type 'make' to build gtest.
If you use Windows and have Vistual Studio installed, a gtest.sln file
and several .vcproj files will be created. You can then build them
using Visual Studio.
On Mac OS X with Xcode installed, a .xcodeproj file will be generated.
### Legacy Build Scripts ###
Before settling on CMake, we have been providing hand-maintained build
projects/scripts for Visual Studio, Xcode, and Autotools. While we
continue to provide them for convenience, they are not actively
maintained any more. We highly recommend that you follow the
instructions in the previous two sections to integrate Google Test
with your existing build system.
If you still need to use the legacy build scripts, here's how:
The msvc\ folder contains two solutions with Visual C++ projects.
Open the gtest.sln or gtest-md.sln file using Visual Studio, and you
are ready to build Google Test the same way you build any Visual
Studio project. Files that have names ending with -md use DLL
versions of Microsoft runtime libraries (the /MD or the /MDd compiler
option). Files without that suffix use static versions of the runtime
libraries (the /MT or the /MTd option). Please note that one must use
the same option to compile both gtest and the test code. If you use
Visual Studio 2005 or above, we recommend the -md version as /MD is
the default for new projects in these versions of Visual Studio.
On Mac OS X, open the gtest.xcodeproj in the xcode/ folder using
Xcode. Build the "gtest" target. The universal binary framework will
end up in your selected build directory (selected in the Xcode
"Preferences..." -> "Building" pane and defaults to xcode/build).
Alternatively, at the command line, enter:
xcodebuild
This will build the "Release" configuration of gtest.framework in your
default build location. See the "xcodebuild" man page for more
information about building different configurations and building in
different locations.
Tweaking Google Test
--------------------
Google Test can be used in diverse environments. The default
configuration may not work (or may not work well) out of the box in
some environments. However, you can easily tweak Google Test by
defining control macros on the compiler command line. Generally,
these macros are named like GTEST_XYZ and you define them to either 1
or 0 to enable or disable a certain feature.
We list the most frequently used macros below. For a complete list,
see file include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h.
### Choosing a TR1 Tuple Library ###
Choosing a TR1 Tuple Library
----------------------------
Some Google Test features require the C++ Technical Report 1 (TR1)
tuple library, which is not yet widely available with all compilers.
The good news is that Google Test implements a subset of TR1 tuple
that's enough for its own need, and will automatically use this when
the compiler doesn't provide TR1 tuple.
tuple library, which is not yet available with all compilers. The
good news is that Google Test implements a subset of TR1 tuple that's
enough for its own need, and will automatically use this when the
compiler doesn't provide TR1 tuple.
Usually you don't need to care about which tuple library Google Test
uses. However, if your project already uses TR1 tuple, you need to
tell Google Test to use the same TR1 tuple library the rest of your
project uses (this requirement is new in Google Test 1.4.0, so you may
need to take care of it when upgrading from an earlier version), or
the two tuple implementations will clash. To do that, add
project uses, or the two tuple implementations will clash. To do
that, add
-DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=0
to the compiler flags while compiling Google Test and your tests.
to the compiler flags while compiling Google Test and your tests. If
you want to force Google Test to use its own tuple library, just add
-DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1
to the compiler flags instead.
If you don't want Google Test to use tuple at all, add
-DGTEST_HAS_TR1_TUPLE=0
to the compiler flags. All features using tuple will be disabled in
this mode.
Building the Source
-------------------
### Linux, Mac OS X (without Xcode), and Cygwin ###
There are two primary options for building the source at this point: build it
inside the source code tree, or in a separate directory. We recommend building
in a separate directory as that tends to produce both more consistent results
and be easier to clean up should anything go wrong, but both patterns are
supported. The only hard restriction is that while the build directory can be
a subdirectory of the source directory, the opposite is not possible and will
result in errors. Once you have selected where you wish to build Google Test,
create the directory if necessary, and enter it. The following steps apply for
either approach by simply substituting the shell variable SRCDIR with "." for
building inside the source directory, and the relative path to the source
directory otherwise.
${SRCDIR}/configure # Standard GNU configure script, --help for more info
make # Standard makefile following GNU conventions
make check # Builds and runs all tests - all should pass
### Windows ###
The msvc\ folder contains two solutions with Visual C++ projects. Open the
gtest.sln or gtest-md.sln file using Visual Studio, and you are ready to
build Google Test the same way you build any Visual Studio project. Files
that have names ending with -md use DLL versions of Microsoft runtime
libraries (the /MD or the /MDd compiler option). Files without that suffix
use static versions of the runtime libraries (the /MT or the /MTd option).
Please note that one must use the same option to compile both gtest and his
test code. If you use Visual Studio 2005 or above, we recommend the -md
version as /MD is the default for new projects in these versions of Visual
Studio.
### Mac OS X (universal-binary framework) ###
Open the gtest.xcodeproj in the xcode/ folder using Xcode. Build the "gtest"
target. The universal binary framework will end up in your selected build
directory (selected in the Xcode "Preferences..." -> "Building" pane and
defaults to xcode/build). Alternatively, at the command line, enter:
and all features using tuple will be disabled.
xcodebuild
### Multi-threaded Tests ###
This will build the "Release" configuration of gtest.framework in your
default build location. See the "xcodebuild" man page for more information about
building different configurations and building in different locations.
Google Test is thread-safe where the pthread library is available.
After #include <gtest/gtest.h>, you can check the GTEST_IS_THREADSAFE
macro to see whether this is the case (yes if the macro is #defined to
1, no if it's undefined.).
To test the gtest.framework in Xcode, change the active target to "Check" and
then build. This target builds all of the tests and then runs them. Don't worry
if you see some errors. Xcode reports all test failures (even the intentional
ones) as errors. However, you should see a "Build succeeded" message at the end
of the build log. To run all of the tests from the command line, enter:
If Google Test doesn't correctly detect whether pthread is available
in your environment, you can force it with
xcodebuild -target Check
-DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=1
Installation with xcodebuild requires specifying an installation desitination
directory, known as the DSTROOT. Three items will be installed when using
xcodebuild:
or
$DSTROOT/Library/Frameworks/gtest.framework
$DSTROOT/usr/local/lib/libgtest.a
$DSTROOT/usr/local/lib/libgtest_main.a
-DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=0
You specify the installation directory on the command line with the other
xcodebuild options. Here's how you would install in a user-visible location:
When Google Test uses pthread, you may need to add flags to your
compiler and/or linker to select the pthread library, or you'll get
link errors. If you use the CMake script or the deprecated Autotools
script, this is taken care of for you. If you use your own build
script, you'll need to read your compiler and linker's manual to
figure out what flags to add.
xcodebuild install DSTROOT=~
### As a Shared Library (DLL) ###
To perform a system-wide inistall, escalate to an administrator and specify
the file system root as the DSTROOT:
Google Test is compact, so most users can build and link it as a
static library for the simplicity. You can choose to use Google Test
as a shared library (known as a DLL on Windows) if you prefer.
sudo xcodebuild install DSTROOT=/
To compile gtest as a shared library, add
To uninstall gtest.framework via the command line, you need to delete the three
items listed above. Remember to escalate to an administrator if deleting these
from the system-wide location using the commands listed below:
-DGTEST_CREATE_SHARED_LIBRARY=1
sudo rm -r /Library/Frameworks/gtest.framework
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libgtest.a
sudo rm /usr/local/lib/libgtest_main.a
to the compiler flags. You'll also need to tell the linker to produce
a shared library instead - consult your linker's manual for how to do
it.
It is also possible to build and execute individual tests within Xcode. Each
test has its own Xcode "Target" and Xcode "Executable". To build any of the
tests, change the active target and the active executable to the test of
interest and then build and run.
To compile your tests that use the gtest shared library, add
Individual tests can be built from the command line using:
-DGTEST_LINKED_AS_SHARED_LIBRARY=1
xcodebuild -target <test_name>
to the compiler flags.
These tests can be executed from the command line by moving to the build
directory and then (in bash)
### Avoiding Macro Name Clashes ###
export DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=`pwd`
./<test_name> # (e.g. ./gtest_unittest)
In C++, macros don't obey namespaces. Therefore two libraries that
both define a macro of the same name will clash if you #include both
definitions. In case a Google Test macro clashes with another
library, you can force Google Test to rename its macro to avoid the
conflict.
To use gtest.framework for your own tests, first, install the framework using
the steps described above. Then add it to your Xcode project by selecting
Project->Add to Project... from the main menu. Next, add libgtest_main.a from
gtest.framework/Resources directory using the same menu command. Finally,
create a new executable target and add gtest.framework and libgtest_main.a to
the "Link Binary With Libraries" build phase.
Specifically, if both Google Test and some other code define macro
FOO, you can add
### Using GNU Make ###
The make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can use to build
Google Test on systems where GNU make is available (e.g. Linux, Mac OS
X, and Cygwin). It doesn't try to build Google Test's own tests.
Instead, it just builds the Google Test library and a sample test.
You can use it as a starting point for your own Makefile.
-DGTEST_DONT_DEFINE_FOO=1
If the default settings are correct for your environment, the
following commands should succeed:
to the compiler flags to tell Google Test to change the macro's name
from FOO to GTEST_FOO. Currently FOO can be FAIL, SUCCEED, or TEST.
For example, with -DGTEST_DONT_DEFINE_TEST=1, you'll need to write
cd ${SRCDIR}/make
make
./sample1_unittest
GTEST_TEST(SomeTest, DoesThis) { ... }
If you see errors, try to tweak the contents of make/Makefile to make
them go away. There are instructions in make/Makefile on how to do
it.
instead of
### Using Your Own Build System ###
If none of the build solutions we provide works for you, or if you
prefer your own build system, you just need to compile
src/gtest-all.cc into a library and link your tests with it. Assuming
a Linux-like system and gcc, something like the following will do:
TEST(SomeTest, DoesThis) { ... }
cd ${SRCDIR}
g++ -I. -I./include -c src/gtest-all.cc
ar -rv libgtest.a gtest-all.o
g++ -I. -I./include path/to/your_test.cc libgtest.a -o your_test
in order to define a test.
Upgrating from an Earlier Version
---------------------------------
We strive to keep Google Test releases backward compatible.
Sometimes, though, we have to make some breaking changes for the
users' long-term benefits. This section describes what you'll need to
do if you are upgrading from an earlier version of Google Test.
### Upgrading from 1.3.0 or Earlier ###
You may need to explicitly enable or disable Google Test's own TR1
tuple library. See the instructions in section "Choosing a TR1 Tuple
Library".
### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ###
The Autotools build script (configure + make) is no longer officially
supportted. You are encouraged to migrate to your own build system or
use CMake. If you still need to use Autotools, you can find
instructions in the README file from Google Test 1.4.0.
On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test uses
it in order to be thread-safe. See the "Multi-threaded Tests" section
for what this means to your build script.
If you use Microsoft Visual C++ 7.1 with exceptions disabled, Google
Test will no longer compile. This should affect very few people, as a
large portion of STL (including <string>) doesn't compile in this mode
anyway. We decided to stop supporting it in order to greatly simplify
Google Test's implementation.
Developing Google Test
----------------------
This section discusses how to make your own changes to Google Test.
### Testing Google Test Itself ###
To make sure your changes work as intended and don't break existing
functionality, you'll want to compile and run Google Test's own tests.
For that you can use CMake:
mkdir mybuild
cd mybuild
cmake -Dbuild_all_gtest_tests=ON ${GTEST_DIR}
Make sure you have Python installed, as some of Google Test's tests
are written in Python. If the cmake command complains about not being
able to find Python ("Could NOT find PythonInterp (missing:
PYTHON_EXECUTABLE)"), try telling it explicitly where your Python
executable can be found:
cmake -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=path/to/python -Dbuild_all_gtest_tests=ON \
${GTEST_DIR}
Next, you can build Google Test and all of its own tests. On *nix,
this is usually done by 'make'. To run the tests, do
make test
All tests should pass.
### Regenerating Source Files ###
Regenerating Source Files
-------------------------
Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not
in the C++ sense) using a script. A template file is named FOO.pump,
where FOO is the name of the file it will generate. For example, the
......@@ -275,12 +398,20 @@ file include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate
gtest-type-util.h in the same directory.
Normally you don't need to worry about regenerating the source files,
unless you need to modify them (e.g. if you are working on a patch for
Google Test). In that case, you should modify the corresponding .pump
files instead and run the 'pump' script (for Pump is Useful for Meta
Programming) to regenerate them. We are still working on releasing
the script and its documentation. If you need it now, please email
googletestframework@googlegroups.com such that we know to make it
happen sooner.
unless you need to modify them. In that case, you should modify the
corresponding .pump files instead and run the pump.py Python script to
regenerate them. You can find pump.py in the scripts/ directory.
Read the Pump manual [2] for how to use it.

We welcome patches. Please read the Google Test developer's guide [3]
for how you can contribute. In particular, make sure you have signed
the Contributor License Agreement, or we won't be able to accept the
patch.
