DUnit: How to run tests?
- by Ian Boyd
How do i run TestCase's from the IDE?
i created a new project, with a single, simple, form:
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
StdCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
private
public
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
end.
Now i'll add a test case to check that pushing Button1 does what it should:
unit Unit1;
interface
uses
Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs,
StdCtrls;
type
TForm1 = class(TForm)
Button1: TButton;
procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
private
public
end;
var
Form1: TForm1;
implementation
{$R *.DFM}
uses
TestFramework;
type
TForm1Tests = class(TTestCase)
private
f: TForm1;
protected
procedure SetUp; override;
procedure TearDown; override;
published
procedure TestButton1Click;
end;
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
//todo
end;
{ TForm1Tests }
procedure TForm1Tests.SetUp;
begin
inherited;
f := TForm1.Create(nil);
end;
procedure TForm1Tests.TearDown;
begin
f.Free;
inherited;
end;
procedure TForm1Tests.TestButton1Click;
begin
f.Button1Click(nil);
Self.CheckEqualsString('Hello, world!', f.Caption);
end;
end.
Given what i've done (test code in the GUI project), how do i now trigger a run of the tests? If i push F9 then the form simply appears:
Ideally there would be a button, or menu option, in the IDE saying Run DUnit Tests:
Am i living in a dream-world? A fantasy land, living in a gumdrop house on lollipop lane?
