# Assertions Reference
|
|
|
|
This page lists the assertion macros provided by GoogleTest for verifying code
|
|
behavior. To use them, include the header `gtest/gtest.h`.
|
|
|
|
The majority of the macros listed below come as a pair with an `EXPECT_` variant
|
|
and an `ASSERT_` variant. Upon failure, `EXPECT_` macros generate nonfatal
|
|
failures and allow the current function to continue running, while `ASSERT_`
|
|
macros generate fatal failures and abort the current function.
|
|
|
|
All assertion macros support streaming a custom failure message into them with
|
|
the `<<` operator, for example:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
EXPECT_TRUE(my_condition) << "My condition is not true";
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Anything that can be streamed to an `ostream` can be streamed to an assertion
|
|
macro—in particular, C strings and string objects. If a wide string (`wchar_t*`,
|
|
`TCHAR*` in `UNICODE` mode on Windows, or `std::wstring`) is streamed to an
|
|
assertion, it will be translated to UTF-8 when printed.
|
|
|
|
## Explicit Success and Failure {#success-failure}
|
|
|
|
The assertions in this section generate a success or failure directly instead of
|
|
testing a value or expression. These are useful when control flow, rather than a
|
|
Boolean expression, determines the test's success or failure, as shown by the
|
|
following example:
|
|
|
|
```c++
|
|
switch(expression) {
|
|
case 1:
|
|
... some checks ...
|
|
case 2:
|
|
... some other checks ...
|
|
default:
|
|
FAIL() << "We shouldn't get here.";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### SUCCEED {#SUCCEED}
|
|
|
|
`SUCCEED()`
|
|
|
|
Generates a success. This *does not* make the overall test succeed. A test is
|
|
considered successful only if none of its assertions fail during its execution.
|
|
|
|
The `SUCCEED` assertion is purely documentary and currently doesn't generate any
|
|
user-visible output. However, we may add `SUCCEED` messages to GoogleTest output
|
|
in the future.
|
|
|
|
### FAIL {#FAIL}
|
|
|
|
`FAIL()`
|
|
|
|
Generates a fatal failure, which returns from the current function.
|
|
|
|
Can only be used in functions that return `void`. See
|
|
[Assertion Placement](../advanced.md#assertion-placement) for more information.
|
|
|
|
### ADD_FAILURE {#ADD_FAILURE}
|
|
|
|
`ADD_FAILURE()`
|
|
|
|
Generates a nonfatal failure, which allows the current function to continue
|
|
running.
|
|
|
|
### ADD_FAILURE_AT {#ADD_FAILURE_AT}
|
|
|
|
`ADD_FAILURE_AT(`*`file_path`*`,`*`line_number`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Generates a nonfatal failure at the file and line number specified.
|
|
|
|
## Generalized Assertion {#generalized}
|
|
|
|
The following assertion allows [matchers](matchers.md) to be used to verify
|
|
values.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_THAT {#EXPECT_THAT}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_THAT(`*`value`*`,`*`matcher`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_THAT(`*`value`*`,`*`matcher`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`value`* matches the [matcher](matchers.md) *`matcher`*.
|
|
|
|
For example, the following code verifies that the string `value1` starts with
|
|
`"Hello"`, `value2` matches a regular expression, and `value3` is between 5 and
|
|
10:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
#include "gmock/gmock.h"
|
|
|
|
using ::testing::AllOf;
|
|
using ::testing::Gt;
|
|
using ::testing::Lt;
|
|
using ::testing::MatchesRegex;
|
|
using ::testing::StartsWith;
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
EXPECT_THAT(value1, StartsWith("Hello"));
|
|
EXPECT_THAT(value2, MatchesRegex("Line \\d+"));
|
|
ASSERT_THAT(value3, AllOf(Gt(5), Lt(10)));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Matchers enable assertions of this form to read like English and generate
|
|
informative failure messages. For example, if the above assertion on `value1`
|
|
fails, the resulting message will be similar to the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Value of: value1
|
|
Actual: "Hi, world!"
|
|
Expected: starts with "Hello"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
GoogleTest provides a built-in library of matchers—see the
|
|
[Matchers Reference](matchers.md). It is also possible to write your own
|
|
matchers—see [Writing New Matchers Quickly](../gmock_cook_book.md#NewMatchers).
|
|
The use of matchers makes `EXPECT_THAT` a powerful, extensible assertion.
|
|
|
|
*The idea for this assertion was borrowed from Joe Walnes' Hamcrest project,
|
|
which adds `assertThat()` to JUnit.*
|
|
|
|
## Boolean Conditions {#boolean}
|
|
|
|
The following assertions test Boolean conditions.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_TRUE {#EXPECT_TRUE}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_TRUE(`*`condition`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_TRUE(`*`condition`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`condition`* is true.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_FALSE {#EXPECT_FALSE}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_FALSE(`*`condition`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_FALSE(`*`condition`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`condition`* is false.
|
|
|
|
## Binary Comparison {#binary-comparison}
|
|
|
|
The following assertions compare two values. The value arguments must be
|
|
comparable by the assertion's comparison operator, otherwise a compiler error
|
|
will result.
|
|
|
|
If an argument supports the `<<` operator, it will be called to print the
|
|
argument when the assertion fails. Otherwise, GoogleTest will attempt to print
|
|
them in the best way it can—see
|
|
[Teaching GoogleTest How to Print Your Values](../advanced.md#teaching-googletest-how-to-print-your-values).
|
|
|
|
Arguments are always evaluated exactly once, so it's OK for the arguments to
|
|
have side effects. However, the argument evaluation order is undefined and
|
|
programs should not depend on any particular argument evaluation order.
|
|
|
|
These assertions work with both narrow and wide string objects (`string` and
|
|
`wstring`).
|
|
|
|
See also the [Floating-Point Comparison](#floating-point) assertions to compare
|
|
floating-point numbers and avoid problems caused by rounding.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_EQ {#EXPECT_EQ}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_EQ(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_EQ(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`val1`*`==`*`val2`*.
|
|
|
|
Does pointer equality on pointers. If used on two C strings, it tests if they
|
|
are in the same memory location, not if they have the same value. Use
|
|
[`EXPECT_STREQ`](#EXPECT_STREQ) to compare C strings (e.g. `const char*`) by
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
When comparing a pointer to `NULL`, use `EXPECT_EQ(`*`ptr`*`, nullptr)` instead
|
|
of `EXPECT_EQ(`*`ptr`*`, NULL)`.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_NE {#EXPECT_NE}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_NE(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_NE(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`val1`*`!=`*`val2`*.
|
|
|
|
Does pointer equality on pointers. If used on two C strings, it tests if they
|
|
are in different memory locations, not if they have different values. Use
|
|
[`EXPECT_STRNE`](#EXPECT_STRNE) to compare C strings (e.g. `const char*`) by
|
|
value.
|
|
|
|
When comparing a pointer to `NULL`, use `EXPECT_NE(`*`ptr`*`, nullptr)` instead
|
|
of `EXPECT_NE(`*`ptr`*`, NULL)`.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_LT {#EXPECT_LT}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_LT(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_LT(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`val1`*`<`*`val2`*.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_LE {#EXPECT_LE}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_LE(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_LE(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`val1`*`<=`*`val2`*.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_GT {#EXPECT_GT}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_GT(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_GT(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`val1`*`>`*`val2`*.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_GE {#EXPECT_GE}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_GE(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_GE(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`val1`*`>=`*`val2`*.
|
|
|
|
## String Comparison {#c-strings}
|
|
|
|
The following assertions compare two **C strings**. To compare two `string`
|
|
objects, use [`EXPECT_EQ`](#EXPECT_EQ) or [`EXPECT_NE`](#EXPECT_NE) instead.
|
|
|
|
These assertions also accept wide C strings (`wchar_t*`). If a comparison of two
|
|
wide strings fails, their values will be printed as UTF-8 narrow strings.
|
|
|
|
To compare a C string with `NULL`, use `EXPECT_EQ(`*`c_string`*`, nullptr)` or
|
|
`EXPECT_NE(`*`c_string`*`, nullptr)`.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_STREQ {#EXPECT_STREQ}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_STREQ(`*`str1`*`,`*`str2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_STREQ(`*`str1`*`,`*`str2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that the two C strings *`str1`* and *`str2`* have the same contents.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_STRNE {#EXPECT_STRNE}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_STRNE(`*`str1`*`,`*`str2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_STRNE(`*`str1`*`,`*`str2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that the two C strings *`str1`* and *`str2`* have different contents.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_STRCASEEQ {#EXPECT_STRCASEEQ}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_STRCASEEQ(`*`str1`*`,`*`str2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_STRCASEEQ(`*`str1`*`,`*`str2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that the two C strings *`str1`* and *`str2`* have the same contents,
|
|
ignoring case.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_STRCASENE {#EXPECT_STRCASENE}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_STRCASENE(`*`str1`*`,`*`str2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_STRCASENE(`*`str1`*`,`*`str2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that the two C strings *`str1`* and *`str2`* have different contents,
|
|
ignoring case.
|
|
|
|
## Floating-Point Comparison {#floating-point}
|
|
|
|
The following assertions compare two floating-point values.
|
|
|
|
Due to rounding errors, it is very unlikely that two floating-point values will
|
|
match exactly, so `EXPECT_EQ` is not suitable. In general, for floating-point
|
|
comparison to make sense, the user needs to carefully choose the error bound.
|
|
|
|
GoogleTest also provides assertions that use a default error bound based on
|
|
Units in the Last Place (ULPs). To learn more about ULPs, see the article
|
|
[Comparing Floating Point Numbers](https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/comparing-floating-point-numbers-2012-edition/).
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_FLOAT_EQ {#EXPECT_FLOAT_EQ}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_FLOAT_EQ(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_FLOAT_EQ(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that the two `float` values *`val1`* and *`val2`* are approximately
|
|
equal, to within 4 ULPs from each other.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ {#EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_DOUBLE_EQ(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that the two `double` values *`val1`* and *`val2`* are approximately
|
|
equal, to within 4 ULPs from each other.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_NEAR {#EXPECT_NEAR}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_NEAR(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`abs_error`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_NEAR(`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`abs_error`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that the difference between *`val1`* and *`val2`* does not exceed the
|
|
absolute error bound *`abs_error`*.
|
|
|
|
## Exception Assertions {#exceptions}
|
|
|
|
The following assertions verify that a piece of code throws, or does not throw,
|
|
an exception. Usage requires exceptions to be enabled in the build environment.
|
|
|
|
Note that the piece of code under test can be a compound statement, for example:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
EXPECT_NO_THROW({
|
|
int n = 5;
|
|
DoSomething(&n);
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_THROW {#EXPECT_THROW}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_THROW(`*`statement`*`,`*`exception_type`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_THROW(`*`statement`*`,`*`exception_type`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`statement`* throws an exception of type *`exception_type`*.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_ANY_THROW {#EXPECT_ANY_THROW}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_ANY_THROW(`*`statement`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_ANY_THROW(`*`statement`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`statement`* throws an exception of any type.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_NO_THROW {#EXPECT_NO_THROW}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_NO_THROW(`*`statement`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_NO_THROW(`*`statement`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`statement`* does not throw any exception.
|
|
|
|
## Predicate Assertions {#predicates}
|
|
|
|
The following assertions enable more complex predicates to be verified while
|
|
printing a more clear failure message than if `EXPECT_TRUE` were used alone.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_PRED* {#EXPECT_PRED}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED1(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`)` \
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED2(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED3(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`)` \
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED4(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`,`*`val4`*`)` \
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED5(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`,`*`val4`*`,`*`val5`*`)`
|
|
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED1(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED2(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED3(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED4(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`,`*`val4`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED5(`*`pred`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`,`*`val4`*`,`*`val5`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that the predicate *`pred`* returns `true` when passed the given values
|
|
as arguments.
|
|
|
|
The parameter *`pred`* is a function or functor that accepts as many arguments
|
|
as the corresponding macro accepts values. If *`pred`* returns `true` for the
|
|
given arguments, the assertion succeeds, otherwise the assertion fails.
|
|
|
|
When the assertion fails, it prints the value of each argument. Arguments are
|
|
always evaluated exactly once.
|
|
|
|
As an example, see the following code:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Returns true if m and n have no common divisors except 1.
|
|
bool MutuallyPrime(int m, int n) { ... }
|
|
...
|
|
const int a = 3;
|
|
const int b = 4;
|
|
const int c = 10;
|
|
...
|
|
EXPECT_PRED2(MutuallyPrime, a, b); // Succeeds
|
|
EXPECT_PRED2(MutuallyPrime, b, c); // Fails
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the above example, the first assertion succeeds, and the second fails with
|
|
the following message:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
MutuallyPrime(b, c) is false, where
|
|
b is 4
|
|
c is 10
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that if the given predicate is an overloaded function or a function
|
|
template, the assertion macro might not be able to determine which version to
|
|
use, and it might be necessary to explicitly specify the type of the function.
|
|
For example, for a Boolean function `IsPositive()` overloaded to take either a
|
|
single `int` or `double` argument, it would be necessary to write one of the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
EXPECT_PRED1(static_cast<bool (*)(int)>(IsPositive), 5);
|
|
EXPECT_PRED1(static_cast<bool (*)(double)>(IsPositive), 3.14);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Writing simply `EXPECT_PRED1(IsPositive, 5);` would result in a compiler error.
|
|
Similarly, to use a template function, specify the template arguments:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
template <typename T>
|
|
bool IsNegative(T x) {
|
|
return x < 0;
|
|
}
|
|
...
|
|
EXPECT_PRED1(IsNegative<int>, -5); // Must specify type for IsNegative
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If a template has multiple parameters, wrap the predicate in parentheses so the
|
|
macro arguments are parsed correctly:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
ASSERT_PRED2((MyPredicate<int, int>), 5, 0);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_PRED_FORMAT* {#EXPECT_PRED_FORMAT}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED_FORMAT1(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`)` \
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED_FORMAT2(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED_FORMAT3(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`)` \
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED_FORMAT4(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`,`*`val4`*`)`
|
|
\
|
|
`EXPECT_PRED_FORMAT5(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`,`*`val4`*`,`*`val5`*`)`
|
|
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED_FORMAT1(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED_FORMAT2(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED_FORMAT3(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED_FORMAT4(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`,`*`val4`*`)`
|
|
\
|
|
`ASSERT_PRED_FORMAT5(`*`pred_formatter`*`,`*`val1`*`,`*`val2`*`,`*`val3`*`,`*`val4`*`,`*`val5`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that the predicate *`pred_formatter`* succeeds when passed the given
|
|
values as arguments.
|
|
|
|
The parameter *`pred_formatter`* is a *predicate-formatter*, which is a function
|
|
or functor with the signature:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
testing::AssertionResult PredicateFormatter(const char* expr1,
|
|
const char* expr2,
|
|
...
|
|
const char* exprn,
|
|
T1 val1,
|
|
T2 val2,
|
|
...
|
|
Tn valn);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
where *`val1`*, *`val2`*, ..., *`valn`* are the values of the predicate
|
|
arguments, and *`expr1`*, *`expr2`*, ..., *`exprn`* are the corresponding
|
|
expressions as they appear in the source code. The types `T1`, `T2`, ..., `Tn`
|
|
can be either value types or reference types; if an argument has type `T`, it
|
|
can be declared as either `T` or `const T&`, whichever is appropriate. For more
|
|
about the return type `testing::AssertionResult`, see
|
|
[Using a Function That Returns an AssertionResult](../advanced.md#using-a-function-that-returns-an-assertionresult).
|
|
|
|
As an example, see the following code:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Returns the smallest prime common divisor of m and n,
|
|
// or 1 when m and n are mutually prime.
|
|
int SmallestPrimeCommonDivisor(int m, int n) { ... }
|
|
|
|
// Returns true if m and n have no common divisors except 1.
|
|
bool MutuallyPrime(int m, int n) { ... }
|
|
|
|
// A predicate-formatter for asserting that two integers are mutually prime.
|
|
testing::AssertionResult AssertMutuallyPrime(const char* m_expr,
|
|
const char* n_expr,
|
|
int m,
|
|
int n) {
|
|
if (MutuallyPrime(m, n)) return testing::AssertionSuccess();
|
|
|
|
return testing::AssertionFailure() << m_expr << " and " << n_expr
|
|
<< " (" << m << " and " << n << ") are not mutually prime, "
|
|
<< "as they have a common divisor " << SmallestPrimeCommonDivisor(m, n);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
const int a = 3;
|
|
const int b = 4;
|
|
const int c = 10;
|
|
...
|
|
EXPECT_PRED_FORMAT2(AssertMutuallyPrime, a, b); // Succeeds
|
|
EXPECT_PRED_FORMAT2(AssertMutuallyPrime, b, c); // Fails
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In the above example, the final assertion fails and the predicate-formatter
|
|
produces the following failure message:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
b and c (4 and 10) are not mutually prime, as they have a common divisor 2
|
|
```
|

## Windows HRESULT Assertions {#HRESULT}
|
|
|
|
The following assertions test for `HRESULT` success or failure. For example:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
CComPtr<IShellDispatch2> shell;
|
|
ASSERT_HRESULT_SUCCEEDED(shell.CoCreateInstance(L"Shell.Application"));
|
|
CComVariant empty;
|
|
ASSERT_HRESULT_SUCCEEDED(shell->ShellExecute(CComBSTR(url), empty, empty, empty, empty));
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The generated output contains the human-readable error message associated with
|
|
the returned `HRESULT` code.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_HRESULT_SUCCEEDED {#EXPECT_HRESULT_SUCCEEDED}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_HRESULT_SUCCEEDED(`*`expression`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_HRESULT_SUCCEEDED(`*`expression`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`expression`* is a success `HRESULT`.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_HRESULT_FAILED {#EXPECT_HRESULT_FAILED}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_HRESULT_FAILED(`*`expression`*`)` \
|
|
`EXPECT_HRESULT_FAILED(`*`expression`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`expression`* is a failure `HRESULT`.
|
|
|
|
## Death Assertions {#death}
|
|
|
|
The following assertions verify that a piece of code causes the process to
|
|
terminate. For context, see [Death Tests](../advanced.md#death-tests).
|
|
|
|
These assertions spawn a new process and execute the code under test in that
|
|
process. How that happens depends on the platform and the variable
|
|
`::testing::GTEST_FLAG(death_test_style)`, which is initialized from the
|
|
command-line flag `--gtest_death_test_style`.
|
|
|
|
* On POSIX systems, `fork()` (or `clone()` on Linux) is used to spawn the
|
|
child, after which:
|
|
* If the variable's value is `"fast"`, the death test statement is
|
|
immediately executed.
|
|
* If the variable's value is `"threadsafe"`, the child process re-executes
|
|
the unit test binary just as it was originally invoked, but with some
|
|
extra flags to cause just the single death test under consideration to
|
|
be run.
|
|
* On Windows, the child is spawned using the `CreateProcess()` API, and
|
|
re-executes the binary to cause just the single death test under
|
|
consideration to be run - much like the `"threadsafe"` mode on POSIX.
|
|
|
|
Other values for the variable are illegal and will cause the death test to fail.
|
|
Currently, the flag's default value is
|
|
**`"fast"`**.
|
|
|
|
If the death test statement runs to completion without dying, the child process
|
|
will nonetheless terminate, and the assertion fails.
|
|
|
|
Note that the piece of code under test can be a compound statement, for example:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
EXPECT_DEATH({
|
|
int n = 5;
|
|
DoSomething(&n);
|
|
}, "Error on line .* of DoSomething()");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_DEATH {#EXPECT_DEATH}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_DEATH(`*`statement`*`,`*`matcher`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_DEATH(`*`statement`*`,`*`matcher`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`statement`* causes the process to terminate with a nonzero exit
|
|
status and produces `stderr` output that matches *`matcher`*.
|
|
|
|
The parameter *`matcher`* is either a [matcher](matchers.md) for a `const
|
|
std::string&`, or a regular expression (see
|
|
[Regular Expression Syntax](../advanced.md#regular-expression-syntax))—a bare
|
|
string *`s`* (with no matcher) is treated as
|
|
[`ContainsRegex(s)`](matchers.md#string-matchers), **not**
|
|
[`Eq(s)`](matchers.md#generic-comparison).
|
|
|
|
For example, the following code verifies that calling `DoSomething(42)` causes
|
|
the process to die with an error message that contains the text `My error`:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
EXPECT_DEATH(DoSomething(42), "My error");
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_DEATH_IF_SUPPORTED {#EXPECT_DEATH_IF_SUPPORTED}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_DEATH_IF_SUPPORTED(`*`statement`*`,`*`matcher`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_DEATH_IF_SUPPORTED(`*`statement`*`,`*`matcher`*`)`
|
|
|
|
If death tests are supported, behaves the same as
|
|
[`EXPECT_DEATH`](#EXPECT_DEATH). Otherwise, verifies nothing.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_DEBUG_DEATH {#EXPECT_DEBUG_DEATH}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_DEBUG_DEATH(`*`statement`*`,`*`matcher`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_DEBUG_DEATH(`*`statement`*`,`*`matcher`*`)`
|
|
|
|
In debug mode, behaves the same as [`EXPECT_DEATH`](#EXPECT_DEATH). When not in
|
|
debug mode (i.e. `NDEBUG` is defined), just executes *`statement`*.
|
|
|
|
### EXPECT_EXIT {#EXPECT_EXIT}
|
|
|
|
`EXPECT_EXIT(`*`statement`*`,`*`predicate`*`,`*`matcher`*`)` \
|
|
`ASSERT_EXIT(`*`statement`*`,`*`predicate`*`,`*`matcher`*`)`
|
|
|
|
Verifies that *`statement`* causes the process to terminate with an exit status
|
|
that satisfies *`predicate`*, and produces `stderr` output that matches
|
|
*`matcher`*.
|
|
|
|
The parameter *`predicate`* is a function or functor that accepts an `int` exit
|
|
status and returns a `bool`. GoogleTest provides two predicates to handle common
|
|
cases:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
// Returns true if the program exited normally with the given exit status code.
|
|
::testing::ExitedWithCode(exit_code);
|
|
|
|
// Returns true if the program was killed by the given signal.
|
|
// Not available on Windows.
|
|
::testing::KilledBySignal(signal_number);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The parameter *`matcher`* is either a [matcher](matchers.md) for a `const
|
|
std::string&`, or a regular expression (see
|
|
[Regular Expression Syntax](../advanced.md#regular-expression-syntax))—a bare
|
|
string *`s`* (with no matcher) is treated as
|
|
[`ContainsRegex(s)`](matchers.md#string-matchers), **not**
|
|
[`Eq(s)`](matchers.md#generic-comparison).
|
|
|
|
For example, the following code verifies that calling `NormalExit()` causes the
|
|
process to print a message containing the text `Success` to `stderr` and exit
|
|
with exit status code 0:
|
|
|
|
```cpp
|
|
EXPECT_EXIT(NormalExit(), testing::ExitedWithCode(0), "Success");
|
|
```
