# Test fixtures
|
|
|
|
Although Catch allows you to group tests together as sections within a test case, it can still be convenient, sometimes, to group them using a more traditional test fixture. Catch fully supports this too. You define the test fixture as a simple structure:
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
class UniqueTestsFixture {
|
|
private:
|
|
static int uniqueID;
|
|
protected:
|
|
DBConnection conn;
|
|
public:
|
|
UniqueTestsFixture() : conn(DBConnection::createConnection("myDB")) {
|
|
}
|
|
protected:
|
|
int getID() {
|
|
return ++uniqueID;
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
int UniqueTestsFixture::uniqueID = 0;
|
|
|
|
TEST_CASE_METHOD(UniqueTestsFixture, "Create Employee/No Name", "[create]") {
|
|
REQUIRE_THROWS(conn.executeSQL("INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (?, ?)", getID(), ""));
|
|
}
|
|
TEST_CASE_METHOD(UniqueTestsFixture, "Create Employee/Normal", "[create]") {
|
|
REQUIRE(conn.executeSQL("INSERT INTO employee (id, name) VALUES (?, ?)", getID(), "Joe Bloggs"));
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The two test cases here will create uniquely-named derived classes of UniqueTestsFixture and thus can access the `getID()` protected method and `conn` member variables. This ensures that both the test cases are able to create a DBConnection using the same method (DRY principle) and that any ID's created are unique such that the order that tests are executed does not matter.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Catch2 also provides `TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_METHOD` and
|
|
`TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE_METHOD` that can be used together
|
|
with templated fixtures and templated template fixtures to perform
|
|
tests for multiple different types. Unlike `TEST_CASE_METHOD`,
|
|
`TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_METHOD` and `TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE_METHOD` do
|
|
require the tag specification to be non-empty, as it is followed by
|
|
further macro arguments.
|
|
|
|
Also note that, because of limitations of the C++ preprocessor, if you
|
|
want to specify a type with multiple template parameters, you need to
|
|
enclose it in parentheses, e.g. `std::map<int, std::string>` needs to be
|
|
passed as `(std::map<int, std::string>)`.
|
|
In the case of `TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE_METHOD`, if a member of the
|
|
type list should consist of more than single type, it needs to be enclosed
|
|
in another pair of parentheses, e.g. `(std::map, std::pair)` and
|
|
`((int, float), (char, double))`.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
template< typename T >
|
|
struct Template_Fixture {
|
|
Template_Fixture(): m_a(1) {}
|
|
|
|
T m_a;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_METHOD(Template_Fixture,"A TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_METHOD based test run that succeeds", "[class][template]", int, float, double) {
|
|
REQUIRE( Template_Fixture<TestType>::m_a == 1 );
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
struct Template_Template_Fixture {
|
|
Template_Template_Fixture() {}
|
|
|
|
T m_a;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
template<typename T>
|
|
struct Foo_class {
|
|
size_t size() {
|
|
return 0;
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE_METHOD(Template_Template_Fixture, "A TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE_METHOD based test succeeds", "[class][template]", (Foo_class, std::vector), int) {
|
|
REQUIRE( Template_Template_Fixture<TestType>::m_a.size() == 0 );
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_While there is an upper limit on the number of types you can specify
|
|
in single `TEMPLATE_TEST_CASE_METHOD` or `TEMPLATE_PRODUCT_TEST_CASE_METHOD`,
|
|
the limit is very high and should not be encountered in practice._
