How to Configure Google C Testing Framework (gtest) in Visual Studio 2005?

Setting Up Google C Testing Framework (gtest) in Visual Studio 2005

Setting up gtest with Visual Studio 2005 can be a hassle, given the lack of comprehensive online documentation. This step-by-step guide provides a detailed walkthrough for configuring a sample test project.

1. Obtain the Framework

• Download the latest gtest framework.
• Unpack it to a dedicated location, e.g., C:gtest.

2. Build the Framework Libraries

• Open C:gtestmsvcgtest.sln in Visual Studio.
• Set the Configuration to "Debug".
• Build the solution.

3. Create and Configure the Test Project

• Create a new Visual C solution and choose the "Win32 Console Application" template.

• Modify the project settings as follows:

  • Configuration: Debug
  • Additional Include Directories: Add C:gtestinclude
  • Runtime Library: Multi-threaded Debug DLL (/MDd) or Multi-threaded Debug (/MTd), depending on your code's runtime library usage.
  • Additional Library Directories: Add C:gtestmsvcgtestDebug or C:gtestmsvcgtest-mdDebug, wherever gtestd.lib is located.
  • Additional Dependencies: Add gtestd.lib

4. Verify Functionality

• Open the main C file of the test project.
• Paste the following code, replacing the main() function:

#include "stdafx.h"  
#include <iostream>

#include "gtest/gtest.h"

TEST(sample_test_case, sample_test)
{
    EXPECT_EQ(1, 1);
}

int main(int argc, char** argv) 
{ 
    testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv); 
    RUN_ALL_TESTS(); 
    std::getchar(); // keep console window open until Return keystroke
}

• Run the project in Debug mode.

If setup is successful, the console window will display the unit test results, indicating that gtest is functioning properly.
