Creating managed tests in VS2012 is very similar to creating tests in VS2010.
[pre-requisite - obviously, you'll also need Catch - my copy is in C:\Projects\Phil\Catch in the following examples...and I'm using the normal, multiple include files.]
## First, start by creating a new project
Choose 'File' ==> 'New' ==> 'Project' and choose a new Visual C++ Managed Test project:
Now we need to change some build options, so right click the project and choose 'Properties':
First, in the 'General' options, change 'Common Language Runtime Support' to use basic clr:
We can run this from the 'Test Explorer' but be sure to select the 'Traits' option from the drop down if you want to see the Catch TEST_CASE names:
Sadly, VS2012 is not as intuitive as VS2010; from here you have top open up the failing test to get the failure information:
You can click the 'Output' link to see the output text:
Now if you click the link at the top of the stack trace "...unittest.cpp: line 12" you get back to the problem:
And that's it!
## Creating a Catch console project
If you want to run Catch normally from the console, just create a new Windows Console app (you will need to turn off Unicode for this!) and add an additional .cpp file for `'main()'`. I usually add a file called main.cpp, like this:
