Cake.GoogleTest

A Cake build extension for executing Google test assemblies.

Installation

Cake.GoogleTest can be installed from the package manager console:

Install-Package Cake.GoogleTest

It can also be used via a reference in your Cake build script using the #addin directive:

#addin nuget:?package=Cake.GoogleTest

Usage

Assuming you have built your native test assembly which uses Google test:

var result = GoogleTestRun(GetRootedPath(executable));
if(!result)
{
    Error("A failure occurred when running tests");
}

This will result in the test application being executed and the results being output to the console.

If you want to write test results to a file you can specify the output by providing a settings instance:

var result = GoogleTestRun(GetRootedPath(executable), new GoogleTestSettings
{
    Output = new XmlTestOutput(GetRootedPath(outputFile))
});
if(!result)
{
    Error("A failure occurred when running tests");
}

Test results can be output to Xml or Json.

If you need to use a custom process runner, as you may do when collecting coverage information, you can provide it like so:

var processRunner = new CustomProcessRunner();

var result = GoogleTestRun(processRunner, GetRootedPath(executable), new GoogleTestSettings
{
    Output = new XmlTestOutput(GetRootedPath(outputFile))
});
if(!result)
{
    Error("A failure occurred when running tests");
}

Settings

The GoogleTestSettings class implements most of the settings supported by a Google test assembly. Any that are not can be provided via the AdditionalArguments field.
