Developing ApprovalTests.cpp on Windows

Contents

Prerequisites

  • CMake 3.8 or higher
  • A C++11 or above compiler to use the library
  • A C++17 or above compiler to run the project's own tests

Dependencies

  • A version of Catch2 is included in the source - see lib/Catch.hpp
  • A version of doctest is included in the source - see files in lib/
  • Source code for the Google Test framework - version 1.8.1 - is downloaded automatically when CMake is run - see CMakeLists.txt.in, and is then built when the project is built.

Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition

Use CMake to generate Visual Studio 2017 configuration

Decide where to put the build files that CMake will generate. In the following, we're putting the output in cmake-build-vs - that location is already ignored by git.

  1. Open a Command window

  2. Then run:

     cd ApprovalTests.cpp
 mkdir cmake-build-vs
 cd    cmake-build-vs
 cmake -G "Visual Studio 15 2017" ..

CLion

Use CLion with Visual Studio installed

  • Follow the instructions for experimental support of Microsoft Visual C++ compiler
  • Output is put in cmake-build-debug
  • Tested with Visual Studio 2017
  • Major limitation: Debugging is not yet supported by CLion, when compiling with Visual Studio, as of CLion 2017.3.3

Run CLion with cygwin as toolset

  • Code builds fine
  • Tests run fine
  • Reporters run fine
