euranova/cxxtest repository overview

⁠docker-cxxtest

Docker image to test C++ code using CxxTest⁠

⁠Build

The image can be built using the following command from the project root:

docker build -t euranova/cxxtest .

⁠Usage

Run bash in the docker image with the following command:

docker run --user ${UID} -it -v ${PWD}:/app euranova/cxxtest

Then, use cxxtestgen and gcc/g++ to build tests.

The image provides:

• gcc/g++ on the PATH
• the cxxtestgen executable on the PATH
• the CXXTEST environment variable, to be used with the -I argument of gcc/g++ to specify the location of the C++ files for cxxtest.

⁠Warning

When using cxxtestgen with the --fog-parser option, the following warning is displayed:

WARNING: Couldn't create 'cxxtest.parsetab'.
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/cxxtest/python/python3/cxxtest/parsetab.py'

This warning can safely be ignored. It just means that the FOG parser uses a library called PLY, which wants to create a file called parsetab.py in a protected location. That file acts as a cache to allow the parser to run faster on successive runs.

This warning is probably related to long-standing issue #3⁠.
