Using Boost Unit Test Framework (UTF) with `make check`

My C ++ application has various shell-based integration tests for stand-alone programs, as well as unit code tests for the application API. Tests are run through the make check target generated using Autotools (autoconf, automake), which come with a test driver and a log parser . I started using the Boost Unit Test Framework to better manage Unit Test kits. Is there a way to run both acceptance tests and unit tests (using both Boost UTF and standard TAP tests) as part of a make check target?

My Makefile.am looks something like this:

 check_PROGRAMS = test1 test2 SOURCES = test1.cpp test2.cpp CC = g++ TESTS = $(check_PROGRAMS) standalone1.test standalone2.test LDADD = -lboost_unit_test_framework TEST_LOG_DRIVER = env AM_TAP_AWK='$(AWK)' $(SHELL) \ $(top_srcdir)/test/tap-driver.sh EXTRA_DIST = $(TESTS)

The Boost UTF test suite is as follows:

 #define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK #define BOOST_TEST_MODULE "My Unit Tests" #include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp> BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(MyTestSuite1); BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(MyTestCase1) { BOOST_CHECK(true); } BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END();

If you use boost-m4 like me, you can try:

./configure.ac:

 BOOST_REQUIRE([1.61]) BOOST_SYSTEM BOOST_TEST

./test/Makefile.am(add AM_CPPFLAGS, AM_LDFLAGS and LDADD)

 AM_CPPFLAGS = $(BOOST_CPPFLAGS) -DBOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK AM_LDFLAGS = $(BOOST_LDFLAGS) $(BOOST_SYSTEM_LDFLAGS) $(BOOST_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_LDFLAGS) LDADD = $(BOOST_SYSTEM_LIBS) $(BOOST_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_LIBS) check_PROGRAMS = test1 test2 SOURCES = test1.cpp test2.cpp CC = g++ TESTS = $(check_PROGRAMS) standalone1.test standalone2.test EXTRA_DIST = $(TESTS)

This seems more elegant than directly placing "-lboost_unit_test_framework" inside your Makefile.am. You can also consider moving '#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK' from your cpp to AM_CPPFLAGS to Makefile.am, as shown above.

See boost-m4 README for more information.

The standard way to handle this is not to use the primary bin fields, but the primary TEST. In your case, your Makefile.am will look something like this:

  LDADD = -lboost_unit_test_framework TESTS = standalone1 standalone2 standalone1_SOURCES = test1.cpp standalone1.test standalone2_SOURCES = test2.cpp standalone2.test TEST_LOG_DRIVER = env AM_TAP_AWK='$(AWK)' $(SHELL) \ $(top_srcdir)/test/tap-driver.sh EXTRA_DIST = $(TESTS)
