# TinyTest Preinstalled Example
|
||||
|
||||
This example demonstrates how to use TinyTest when it is installed on the system, integrating it through the CMake `find_package` mechanism.
|
||||
|
||||
## What This Example Demonstrates
|
||||
|
||||
- How to use a preinstalled TinyTest library with `find_package`
|
||||
- How to create and run test suites for a simple calculator application
|
||||
- How to test both regular function behavior and exception handling
|
||||
- How to combine and report test results
|
||||
|
||||
## Prerequisites
|
||||
|
||||
- CMake 3.14 or higher
|
||||
- C++17 compatible compiler
|
||||
- TinyTest installed (the build script will install it if needed)
|
||||
|
||||
## Building and Running
|
||||
|
||||
### On Linux/macOS
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Make the build script executable
|
||||
chmod +x build.sh
|
||||
|
||||
# Run the build script
|
||||
./build.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### On Windows
|
||||
|
||||
```batch
|
||||
build.bat
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## How It Works
|
||||
|
||||
1. The build script:
|
||||
- Checks if TinyTest is installed. If not, it builds and installs it
|
||||
- Creates a build directory
|
||||
- Configures the project with CMake, pointing to the TinyTest installation
|
||||
- Builds the project
|
||||
- Runs the tests with CTest
|
||||
|
||||
2. The CMake configuration:
|
||||
- Finds TinyTest with `find_package(TinyTest REQUIRED)`
|
||||
- Links the calculator test executable against `TinyTest::tinytest`
|
||||
- Registers the test with CTest
|
||||
|
||||
3. The test code:
|
||||
- Defines simple calculator functions
|
||||
- Creates test suites for each function
|
||||
- Executes the test suites and collects results
|
||||
- Tests exception handling for division by zero
|
||||
- Prints a summary of the results
|
||||
|
||||
## Code Structure
|
||||
|
||||
- `main.cpp`: Contains the calculator functions and tests
|
||||
- `CMakeLists.txt`: Configures the build system to use the installed TinyTest
|
||||
- `build.sh`/`build.bat`: Scripts to install TinyTest if needed, and build and run the example
|
||||
|
||||
## Understanding the Integration
|
||||
|
||||
The key part of the integration is in the CMakeLists.txt file:
|
||||
|
||||
```cmake
|
||||
# Find TinyTest package
|
||||
find_package(TinyTest REQUIRED)
|
||||
|
||||
# Link against the installed TinyTest library
|
||||
target_link_libraries(calculator_test
|
||||
PRIVATE
|
||||
TinyTest::tinytest
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This approach requires TinyTest to be installed on the system, either manually or through a package manager. The build script in this example will install TinyTest automatically if it's not found.
