Re: [Vala] Using TestCase class: assert (this is Object) fails in method, but not in constructor

[Chris Daley <chebizarro gmail com>]

Hi Felipe,

I was just hoping someone would do exactly this! I don't know CMake very
well but would like to make Valadate work with it, and I needed a sample
project to get started. This is perfect.

I just have one question, does this run the compiled test binary through
gtester (or other test runner) or does it just execute it?

Muito obrigado!
Chris
