Debug Google test with Eclipse

August 13th, 2017 Comments off

You can add the google test library to Eclipse so you can compile the code, but you might want to actually build the whole thing at once without having to link libraries and whatever.

Of course this is possible as the full code is given to you…

  • Go to the Google Test Github project and download the latest release.
  • Unpack it whereever you want, and, of course make note of the project.
    We will call that folder <gfolder>
  • You then need to include the Google test file path, in eclipse,
    • The root of Google folder, “C/C++ build > Settings > Includes > Add include path” for <gfolder>
    • The include folder, “C/C++ build > Settings > Includes > Add include path” for <gfolder>, where the source files are included.

Then in you main( … ){ … } where you would normally include #include “gtest/gtest.h” or #include <gtest/gtest.h> add “#include “src/gtest-all.cc””

#include “src/gtest-all.cc”
#include “gtest/gtest.h”

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
printf(“Running main() from gtest_main.cc\n”);
::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}
