Re: [Boost-users] [test] Output log file name

Hi Johan,

The command line options I know of are:

    char * argv[] = {                // defaults:
        "--build_info=yes",          //   no
    //  "--catch_system_errors=no",  //   yes
    //  "--detect_memory_leaks=0",   //   1
    //  "--log_format=XML",          //   HRF
        "--log_level=messages",      //   all_errors
    //  "--no_result_code=no",       //   yes
        "--output_format=XML",       //   HRF (overrides log_format &
report_format)
        "--random=1",                //   0
    //  "--report_format=XML",       //   HRF
        "--report_level=detailed",   //   confirm
    //  "--show_progress=yes" };     //   no
    
To output to files, I use set_stream.  I found it made things easier to have
my own version  of Boost.Test's "main" function, like this:

    // based on: "main" in <boost\test\impl\unit_test_main.ipp>
    int my_unit_test_entrypoint() {
        using namespace ::boost::unit_test;
        int ret = boost::exit_exception_failure;
        try {
            char * argv[] = { /*add cmdline options here*/ }; // see above
            int argc = sizeof( argv ) / sizeof( char * );

            framework::init( argc, argv );

            std::ofstream logStream( "c:\\log.xml" );
            unit_test_log.set_stream( logStream );

            framework::run();

            std::ofstream reportStream( "c:\\report.xml" );
            results_reporter::set_stream( reportStream );

            results_reporter::make_report();

            if ( runtime_config::no_result_code() ) {
                ret = boost::exit_success;
            } else {
                test_unit_id id = framework::master_test_suite().p_id;
                ret = results_collector.results( id ).result_code();
            }
        }
        catch( std::logic_error const & ex ) { /*add error reporting here*/
}
        catch( ... ) { /*add error reporting here*/ }
        return ret;
    }

Hope this helps!

Hi,

I'm using the Boost.Test (unit test framework) from cvs, trying to get xml
output redirected into files. The xml format itself is not a problem, but I
can't find any options to get the output into files.

Is this possible to do using either command-line arguments or environment
variables? It's possible, but awkard, to use unit_test_log::set_stream, but
I figured I'd check if there were any options before implementing that.
