testing

[andik]

Hey,
is there something like unittests in Tonic (I assume not?). If not, is there a way to test all components are intact, after having modified something. I mean, not by hand.

How would it be, to integrate Travis CI or so?

greetings.

There are xcode/iOS unit tests in repo , but we really should port them to something cross-platform. Open to suggestions, especially regarding porting the existing tests.

Cross platform unit tests is absolutely, without a doubt, something that I'd REALLY like to see.

ah, I found something in the iOS folder. And saw that you use some Apple testing framework...
How about using https://github.com/philsquared/Catch.git or writing our own header only framework.
Catch has the strength that one can comment a lot upon the testcases which will be documentation also. And it is (built) one header only. Boost licence. We could easily ship it along Tonic.
Another one-file alternative would be https://github.com/ccosmin/tinytest which I also use at work. But catch looks better.

Looks like you really need some CMakeList finally... I'll look into this

ah, and I'd create a test directory at Tonic repository root and move the stuff there. good night.

@andik Tinytest looks nice and tiny! I'd vote for that if the existing test functionality can be ported. But whoever actually ports the tests gets to choose! (As long as there are no extra libs to compile or include).
