Hello there this is your hometown Meson build system user here
just
happen to have a
question related to unit testing in D.
So is there a way to run the unit-test in the test main as a
costume
test runner in
"test/test.d", and run the executable program in "src/main.d",
with this
resulting in two
executable binaries one for test and one for the program?
I was considering using Unity test framework so I would know
that if I was running the test runner that it was definitely
the custom test runner returning the value of all test cases
ran and not a mistake of running the main executable program.
But I am not sure if that would insulate the D programming
community by not using the provided unit testing functionality
in D.
I am mostly trying to make a version based on an existing C
template but
with D language
syntax using whatever tools D provides along side Meson build
system. I
would give you
the link(s) but I haven't figured out how to add links here on
the D
forum, and I just
registered.
Thanks...
Hey there,
I already tried to answer your questions on reddit.
You can post links here by simply pasting the URL (the link
will not be highlighted in the editor, but it will be when it
is posted).
Regarding your problem: Could you please describe what you are
actually trying to do? Are you trying to use D in an exisiting
Meson project (as an addition to the existing code)? Why are
you trying to use the Unity test framework (I only had a quick
look at it, but from what I saw it uses a lot of preprocessor
macros which will make it difficult to get it wotk work
properly with D). Why not use the built-in unittests or one of
the many already existing unit testing frameworks for D ([1],
[2], [3], [4], [5])?
[1] https://code.dlang.org/packages/unit-threaded
[2] https://code.dlang.org/packages/dunit
[3] https://code.dlang.org/packages/d-unit
[4] https://code.dlang.org/packages/fluent-asserts
[5] https://code.dlang.org/packages/trial
I am trying to do two things one being able to turn a pure C
project into a pure D project without destroying the existing
file structure.
The project (https://github.com/squidfarts/c-project.git)
The other is to make a new Arduino UNO board project that
leverages existing C and C++ code so I can spend small amounts of
time writing new D code as I update all of my Arduino
applications.
I would like to use the Unity test framework for that Arduino UNO
based project that uses D, C, C++ and both Meson build system and
Conan package manager. The part with C and C++ are just for
linking with the Arduino libraries, including exiting classes
while I write new D code to replace the existing C and C++ code
where ever it makes since. Conan is used to get both the Unity
and CMock from GitHub.
For the pure D project I would like to use whatever D provides
me. Since you provided this list I would start with
unit-threaded and see if it can help with this main function
problem.
