Running tests in Appveyor with C ++ without testing framework

Question

We have currently installed our tests on Travis Ci using the CMakes Integrated CTest, which simply checks to see int main()if anything else than 0 returns .

Now we would like to add testing functionality to our automated window assemblies in Appveyor, while maintaining this simple check of the return value.

In each Appveyors testing analytic release that we have found so far, it is assumed that we use some kind of testing platform, such as MSTest, which we are not going to do.

I found out that you can run your own CMD and Powershell test scripts in Appveyor, which sounds like the perfect way to test the return value of our test.
Unfortunately, we are all quite inexperienced using CMD and Powershell, and have no idea how to achieve this.

For reference, this is the project in question: JNF_NEAT

Answer 1

we installed .appveyor.yml as follows:

test_script:
  - C:\projects\jnf-neat\x64\Release\XORSolver.exe
  - C:\projects\jnf-neat\x64\Release\EvenNumbers.exe

where XORSolver.exeand EvenNumbers.exeare our integration tests, which we have already used to run on CMake.

Answer 2

Cmake Make Windows. Cmake VM , make . appveyor.yml, :

install:
# Install make for Windows unsing chocolatey
  - ps: choco install make

build_script:
# Use the same commands which is used in .travis.yml
  - cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-6 CMakeLists.txt

# make fails here now
  - make 
  - make test

# Start RDP access to connect and debug
on_finish:
  - ps: $blockRdp = $true; iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/appveyor/ci/master/scripts/enable-rdp.ps1'))
