# FindCxxTest

Find CxxTest

Find the CxxTest suite and declare a helper macro for creating unit tests and integrating them with CTest. For more details on CxxTest see http://cxxtest.tigris.org

INPUT Variables

    CXXTEST_USE_PYTHON [deprecated since 1.3]
        Only used in the case both Python & Perl
        are detected on the system to control
        which CxxTest code generator is used.
        Valid only for CxxTest version 3.

    NOTE: In older versions of this Find Module,
    this variable controlled if the Python test
    generator was used instead of the Perl one,
    regardless of which scripting language the
    user had installed.

    CXXTEST_TESTGEN_ARGS (since CMake 2.8.3)
        Specify a list of options to pass to the CxxTest code
        generator.  If not defined, --error-printer is
        passed.

OUTPUT Variables

    CXXTEST_FOUND
        True if the CxxTest framework was found
    CXXTEST_INCLUDE_DIRS
        Where to find the CxxTest include directory
    CXXTEST_PERL_TESTGEN_EXECUTABLE
        The perl-based test generator
    CXXTEST_PYTHON_TESTGEN_EXECUTABLE
        The python-based test generator
    CXXTEST_TESTGEN_EXECUTABLE (since CMake 2.8.3)
        The test generator that is actually used (chosen using user preferences
        and interpreters found in the system)
    CXXTEST_TESTGEN_INTERPRETER (since CMake 2.8.3)
        The full path to the Perl or Python executable on the system

MACROS for optional use by CMake users:

    CXXTEST_ADD_TEST(<test_name> <gen_source_file> <input_files_to_testgen...>)
       Creates a CxxTest runner and adds it to the CTest testing suite
       Parameters:
           test_name               The name of the test
           gen_source_file         The generated source filename to be
                                   generated by CxxTest
           input_files_to_testgen  The list of header files containing the
                                   CxxTest::TestSuite's to be included in
                                   this runner

    #==============
    Example Usage:

    find_package(CxxTest)
    if(CXXTEST_FOUND)
        include_directories(${CXXTEST_INCLUDE_DIR})
        enable_testing()

        CXXTEST_ADD_TEST(unittest_foo foo_test.cc
                          ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/foo_test.h)
        target_link_libraries(unittest_foo foo) # as needed
    endif()

    This will (if CxxTest is found):
    1. Invoke the testgen executable to autogenerate foo_test.cc in the
       binary tree from "foo_test.h" in the current source directory.
    2. Create an executable and test called unittest_foo.

    #=============
    Example foo_test.h:

    #include <cxxtest/TestSuite.h>

    class MyTestSuite : public CxxTest::TestSuite
    {
    public:
       void testAddition( void )
       {
          TS_ASSERT( 1 + 1 > 1 );
          TS_ASSERT_EQUALS( 1 + 1, 2 );
       }
    };
