Re: [Vala] GTest

["Ali Sabil" <ali sabil gmail com>]

Hi,

In the People[1] project we also have been looking into a better unit testing framework for Vala, we had various attempts with vunit, and then vtest, but both of them were not as good as we wanted. We ended up cooking a very simple unit testing framework, that we called "test-it"[2], and that's what we are using now for unit testing People.

The main feature of test-it is the ability to test asynchronous code pretty easily. Also few weeks ago, I wanted to collect all the small helper libraries we have been working on into what would constitute the basis of a Class library for Vala, into a project I call for now "corelib" [3]. Inside corelib you will find for now a copy of test-it, renamed into core-trial, as well as a higher level Xml document processing library (with basic XPath support) named core-xml.

Is there any samples how to use GTest?

Hi,

I haven't even found any C samples, and some macro bindings seem to be
missing in the vapi. But I have discovered VUnit of the People Project:

https://code.launchpad.net/~jprieur/people-project/vunit

This seems to be more object oriented than the GLib testing suite. I
would like to see this as a standalone library like libgee. I'm highly
interested in an official unit testing framework for Vala, which
would make testing as easy as possible.

Such a library could also provide a graphical GTK+ test runner tool or
widget, like the one of GUnit [1] [2], that could get embedded into Vala
IDEs like Val(a)IDE.

Regards,

Frederik
