# Other macros
|
|
|
|
This page serves as a reference for macros that are not documented
|
|
elsewhere. For now, these macros are separated into 2 rough categories,
|
|
"assertion related macros" and "test case related macros".
|
|
|
|
## Assertion related macros
|
|
|
|
* `CHECKED_IF` and `CHECKED_ELSE`
|
|
|
|
`CHECKED_IF( expr )` is an `if` replacement, that also applies Catch2's
|
|
stringification machinery to the _expr_ and records the result. As with
|
|
`if`, the block after a `CHECKED_IF` is entered only if the expression
|
|
evaluates to `true`. `CHECKED_ELSE( expr )` work similarly, but the block
|
|
is entered only if the _expr_ evaluated to `false`.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
int a = ...;
|
|
int b = ...;
|
|
CHECKED_IF( a == b ) {
|
|
// This block is entered when a == b
|
|
} CHECKED_ELSE ( a == b ) {
|
|
// This block is entered when a != b
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `CHECK_NOFAIL`
|
|
|
|
`CHECK_NOFAIL( expr )` is a variant of `CHECK` that does not fail the test
|
|
case if _expr_ evaluates to `false`. This can be useful for checking some
|
|
assumption, that might be violated without the test necessarily failing.
|
|
|
|
Example output:
|
|
```
|
|
main.cpp:6:
|
|
FAILED - but was ok:
|
|
CHECK_NOFAIL( 1 == 2 )
|
|
|
|
main.cpp:7:
|
|
PASSED:
|
|
CHECK( 2 == 2 )
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `SUCCEED`
|
|
|
|
`SUCCEED( msg )` is mostly equivalent with `INFO( msg ); REQUIRE( true );`.
|
|
In other words, `SUCCEED` is for cases where just reaching a certain line
|
|
means that the test has been a success.
|
|
|
|
Example usage:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
TEST_CASE( "SUCCEED showcase" ) {
|
|
int I = 1;
|
|
SUCCEED( "I is " << I );
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `STATIC_REQUIRE`
|
|
|
|
`STATIC_REQUIRE( expr )` is a macro that can be used the same way as a
|
|
`static_assert`, but also registers the success with Catch2, so it is
|
|
reported as a success at runtime. The whole check can also be deferred
|
|
to the runtime, by defining `CATCH_CONFIG_RUNTIME_STATIC_REQUIRE` before
|
|
including the Catch2 header.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
TEST_CASE("STATIC_REQUIRE showcase", "[traits]") {
|
|
STATIC_REQUIRE( std::is_void<void>::value );
|
|
STATIC_REQUIRE_FALSE( std::is_void<int>::value );
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Test case related macros
|
|
|
|
* `METHOD_AS_TEST_CASE`
|
|
|
|
`METHOD_AS_TEST_CASE( member-function-pointer, description )` lets you
|
|
register a member function of a class as a Catch2 test case. The class
|
|
will be separately instantiated for each method registered in this way.
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
class TestClass {
|
|
std::string s;
|
|
|
|
public:
|
|
TestClass()
|
|
:s( "hello" )
|
|
{}
|
|
|
|
void testCase() {
|
|
REQUIRE( s == "hello" );
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
|
|
METHOD_AS_TEST_CASE( TestClass::testCase, "Use class's method as a test case", "[class]" )
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `REGISTER_TEST_CASE`
|
|
|
|
`REGISTER_TEST_CASE( function, description )` let's you register
|
|
a `function` as a test case. The function has to have `void()` signature,
|
|
the description can contain both name and tags.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
REGISTER_TEST_CASE( someFunction, "ManuallyRegistered", "[tags]" );
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
_Note that the registration still has to happen before Catch2's session
|
|
is initiated. This means that it either needs to be done in a global
|
|
constructor, or before Catch2's session is created in user's own main._
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `ANON_TEST_CASE`
|
|
|
|
`ANON_TEST_CASE` is a `TEST_CASE` replacement that will autogenerate
|
|
unique name. The advantage of this is that you do not have to think
|
|
of a name for the test case,`the disadvantage is that the name doesn't
|
|
necessarily remain stable across different links, and thus it might be
|
|
hard to run directly.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
ANON_TEST_CASE() {
|
|
SUCCEED("Hello from anonymous test case");
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* `DYNAMIC_SECTION`
|
|
|
|
`DYNAMIC_SECTION` is a `SECTION` where the user can use `operator<<` to
|
|
create the final name for that section. This can be useful with e.g.
|
|
generators, or when creating a `SECTION` dynamically, within a loop.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
```cpp
|
|
TEST_CASE( "looped SECTION tests" ) {
|
|
int a = 1;
|
|
|
|
for( int b = 0; b < 10; ++b ) {
|
|
DYNAMIC_SECTION( "b is currently: " << b ) {
|
|
CHECK( b > a );
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
