FIXTURES_REQUIRED
|
||
|
|
-----------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Specifies a list of fixtures the test requires. Fixture names are case
|
||
|
|
sensitive.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fixtures are a way to attach setup and cleanup tasks to a set of tests. If a
|
||
|
|
test requires a given fixture, then all tests marked as setup tasks for that
|
||
|
|
fixture will be executed first (once for the whole set of tests, not once per
|
||
|
|
test requiring the fixture). After all tests requiring a particular fixture
|
||
|
|
have completed, CTest will ensure all tests marked as cleanup tasks for that
|
||
|
|
fixture are then executed. Tests are marked as setup tasks with the
|
||
|
|
:prop_test:`FIXTURES_SETUP` property and as cleanup tasks with the
|
||
|
|
:prop_test:`FIXTURES_CLEANUP` property. If any of a fixture's setup tests fail,
|
||
|
|
all tests listing that fixture in their ``FIXTURES_REQUIRED`` property will not
|
||
|
|
be executed. The cleanup tests for the fixture will always be executed, even if
|
||
|
|
some setup tests fail.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When CTest is asked to execute only a subset of tests (e.g. by the use of
|
||
|
|
regular expressions or when run with the ``--rerun-failed`` command line
|
||
|
|
option), it will automatically add any setup or cleanup tests for fixtures
|
||
|
|
required by any of the tests that are in the execution set.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since setup and cleanup tasks are also tests, they can have an ordering
|
||
|
|
specified by the :prop_test:`DEPENDS` test property just like any other tests.
|
||
|
|
This can be exploited to implement setup or cleanup using multiple tests for a
|
||
|
|
single fixture to modularise setup or cleanup logic.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The concept of a fixture is different to that of a resource specified by
|
||
|
|
:prop_test:`RESOURCE_LOCK`, but they may be used together. A fixture defines a
|
||
|
|
set of tests which share setup and cleanup requirements, whereas a resource
|
||
|
|
lock has the effect of ensuring a particular set of tests do not run in
|
||
|
|
parallel. Some situations may need both, such as setting up a database,
|
||
|
|
serialising test access to that database and deleting the database again at the
|
||
|
|
end. For such cases, tests would populate both ``FIXTURES_REQUIRED`` and
|
||
|
|
:prop_test:`RESOURCE_LOCK` to combine the two behaviours. Names used for
|
||
|
|
:prop_test:`RESOURCE_LOCK` have no relationship with names of fixtures, so note
|
||
|
|
that a resource lock does not imply a fixture and vice versa.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Consider the following example which represents a database test scenario
|
||
|
|
similar to that mentioned above:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. code-block:: cmake
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
add_test(NAME testsDone COMMAND emailResults)
|
||
|
|
add_test(NAME fooOnly COMMAND testFoo)
|
||
|
|
add_test(NAME dbOnly COMMAND testDb)
|
||
|
|
add_test(NAME dbWithFoo COMMAND testDbWithFoo)
|
||
|
|
add_test(NAME createDB COMMAND initDB)
|
||
|
|
add_test(NAME setupUsers COMMAND userCreation)
|
||
|
|
add_test(NAME cleanupDB COMMAND deleteDB)
|
||
|
|
add_test(NAME cleanupFoo COMMAND removeFoos)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(setupUsers PROPERTIES DEPENDS createDB)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(createDB PROPERTIES FIXTURES_SETUP DB)
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(setupUsers PROPERTIES FIXTURES_SETUP DB)
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(cleanupDB PROPERTIES FIXTURES_CLEANUP DB)
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(cleanupFoo PROPERTIES FIXTURES_CLEANUP Foo)
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(testsDone PROPERTIES FIXTURES_CLEANUP "DB;Foo")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(fooOnly PROPERTIES FIXTURES_REQUIRED Foo)
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(dbOnly PROPERTIES FIXTURES_REQUIRED DB)
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(dbWithFoo PROPERTIES FIXTURES_REQUIRED "DB;Foo")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
set_tests_properties(dbOnly dbWithFoo createDB setupUsers cleanupDB
|
||
|
|
PROPERTIES RESOURCE_LOCK DbAccess)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Key points from this example:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Two fixtures are defined: ``DB`` and ``Foo``. Tests can require a single
|
||
|
|
fixture as ``fooOnly`` and ``dbOnly`` do, or they can depend on multiple
|
||
|
|
fixtures like ``dbWithFoo`` does.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- A ``DEPENDS`` relationship is set up to ensure ``setupUsers`` happens after
|
||
|
|
``createDB``, both of which are setup tests for the ``DB`` fixture and will
|
||
|
|
therefore be executed before the ``dbOnly`` and ``dbWithFoo`` tests
|
||
|
|
automatically.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- No explicit ``DEPENDS`` relationships were needed to make the setup tests run
|
||
|
|
before or the cleanup tests run after the regular tests.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The ``Foo`` fixture has no setup tests defined, only a single cleanup test.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- ``testsDone`` is a cleanup test for both the ``DB`` and ``Foo`` fixtures.
|
||
|
|
Therefore, it will only execute once regular tests for both fixtures have
|
||
|
|
finished (i.e. after ``fooOnly``, ``dbOnly`` and ``dbWithFoo``). No
|
||
|
|
``DEPENDS`` relationship was specified for ``testsDone``, so it is free to
|
||
|
|
run before, after or concurrently with other cleanup tests for either
|
||
|
|
fixture.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The setup and cleanup tests never list the fixtures they are for in their own
|
||
|
|
``FIXTURES_REQUIRED`` property, as that would result in a dependency on
|
||
|
|
themselves and be considered an error.
