When Catch2 is used as a CMake subproject (via add_subdirectory) and is not built in development mode (CATCH_DEVELOPMENT_BUILD) CTest is not required for the build, as testing is off. When CTest is included it creates various targets (around 20) which are shown in IDEs such as Clion and pollute the list of configurations. This patch conditionally includes CTest only if Catch2 is built in development mode. |

Catch2 v3 is being developed!
You are on the devel
branch, where the next major version, v3, of
Catch2 is being developed. As it is a significant rework, you will
find that parts of this documentation are likely still stuck on v2.
For stable (and documentation-matching) version of Catch2, go to the
v2.x
branch.
For migrating from the v2 releases to v3, you should look at our documentation. It provides a simple guidelines on getting started, and collects most common migration problems.
What's the Catch2?
Catch2 is mainly a unit testing framework for C++, but it also provides basic micro-benchmarking features, and simple BDD macros.
Catch2's main advantage is that using it is both simple and natural. Tests autoregister themselves and do not have to be named with valid identifiers, assertions look like normal C++ code, and sections provide a nice way to share set-up and tear-down code in tests.
How to use it
This documentation comprises these three parts:
- Why do we need yet another C++ Test Framework?
- Tutorial - getting started
- Reference section - all the details
