Hi Folks,
Would be great if some people having experience in testing classes required
a server could share their knowhow :)
Within our project, we have a set of classes that required an instance of a
server running to be properly unit tested.
Note that the server can be started easily from a command line, no
installation steps are required.
The ideas are the following:
1) Start the server at the beginning of each unit test / kill it at the end
=> The project depending on Qt, we could use QProcess to start the server
and kill it ...
=> We need to make sure port are unique for each test ( to properly handle
parallel testing and multiple dashboard running at the same time ... ). We
were thinking to may be rely on an environment variable used as a counter
...
2) -> have a "initialize_server" test in charge of starting the server
-> run all unit test against the same instance of the server (all
tests would be run sequentially)
-> have a "finalize_server" test in charge of killing/stopping the
server: Is there a cross-platform way of stopping a previously started
process in ctest ?
Thanks for your suggestions
Jc
