CppUTest Test Adapter for Visual Studio Code

This is the implementation for a CppUTest Test Adapter for VSCode. Check it out on the VSCode Market Place: CppUTest Adapter

Setup

To let this plugin know where your tests are set the cpputestTestAdapter.testExecutable to the executable of your tests. They are separated by semicolon and support wildcards, so you can add as many executables as you want:

{
  "cpputestTestAdapter.testExecutable": "${workspaceFolder}/test/testrunner;${workspaceFolder}/test/subFolder/ut_*",
  "cpputestTestAdapter.testExecutablePath": "${workspaceFolder}/test"
}

Both settings support the ${workspaceFolder} variable. The testExecutablePath determines the working directory:

• If set to a valid directory path, all test executables will be run from this directory
• If not set or set to an empty string, each test executable will be run from its own directory (the directory containing the executable)

To arrange for a task to be run prior to running tests or refreshing the test list, set cpputestTestAdapter.preLaunchTask to the name of a task from tasks.json. This can be used to rebuild the test executable, for example.

Logging Configuration

To enable debugging and troubleshooting, configure the logging options:

{
  "cpputestTestAdapter.logpanel": true,
  "cpputestTestAdapter.logfile": "C:/temp/cpputest-adapter.log"
}

• logpanel: Shows logs in VSCode's Output panel ("CppUTest Test Adapter Log")
• logfile: Saves logs to a file. Use absolute paths (variables like ${workspaceFolder} are not supported). Create the directory beforehand if it doesn't exist.

If you want to use the debugging functions you will also need to setup a launch.json file with your debugger path and arguments etc. The adapter will take care of the rest. Hopefully.
