Use GoogleTest with non-default options

Enable support for GoogleTest tests that require additional flags for test execution

Since R2024b

Description

Enable support for running GoogleTest tests in the current Polyspace^® Platform project. Extend the default GoogleTest support by allowing additional command-line flags with the test executable.

Set Option

In your Polyspace Platform project configuration, on the Project tab, select the External Tests node and then select this option.

Why Use This Option

By default, you can import GoogleTest tests into a Polyspace Platform project and run them along with tests authored using Polyspace Test™. For more information, see Use GoogleTest.

When you run the tests, the test executable is run with a default set of command-line flags. If you want to append additional command-line flags to the test executable, select this option and then specify the command-line flags.

For more information on the full workflow, see:

• Run GoogleTest Tests Using Polyspace Platform Projects

• Run External C/C++ Tests in Polyspace Platform User Interface

Settings

On

When you run GoogleTest tests imported in a Polyspace Platform project, the command-line flags specified using these options are appended to the test executable:

• Test output options

• Additional options

Off (default)

Disabling this option means that you have selected one of these options:

• Use GoogleTest: This option is selected by default and enables the default support for GoogleTest tests.

• Use generic test framework: This option enables support for any testing framework.

  However, you have to explicitly specify command-line flags to append to the test executable and convert your test results from their current format to a format supported with Polyspace Test.
