make

make test

To add and run a new unit test in GoogleTest, follow these steps:

  1. Create Your Test File: Name it file_unittest.cc.
  2. Update CMakeLists.txt: Add your test file to googletest/CMakeLists.txt under the if (gtest_build_samples) section, similar to how other samples are added, e.g., cxx_executable(sample3-inl_unittest samples gtest_main).
  3. Build and Test: In your terminal, run make to build the project, then make test to run all tests, including your new test.
  4. Run Only Your Test: Execute your specific test by running the generated executable, for example, googletest/sample3-unittest.

Thumb Rule

  • Always check for CmakeLists.txt file to enable test flag and tweak some config for it.
