Cedar c++

[Jasper Blues]

Hi Friends,

A project that I'm working on for the next few weeks is objective-c++, with a pure c++ model (original dev was a console games developer).

Can cedar be used to test C++ classes?

Jasper :)

Absolutely.  A lot of Cedar is written in C++, and Cedar spec files are nearly always Objective C++ (.mm) files, so there should be no problem at all with testing C++ classes.

Good to know - thanks very much! (I figured that would be the case with Cedar, but I didn't have too much luck yet with Kiwi). 

If possible, I'd like to use the OCUnit runner in this project (just because I'm really liking AppCode's red/green bars and other test runner goodies), but if that doesn't work the standard runner will be fine.  . 

. . Alternatively, I was thinking of asking them to build us dedicated Cedar support in AppCode. . . the goodness of their test runners, etc, without having to build on top of OCUnit.  Jetbrains have been very good at listening to and responding to community concerns. . . for, example the turn-around time on fixing an issue that prevented CocoaPods from working was very impressive. . . would this be something other Cedar users are interested in? 

Regards, 

Jasper

Having Cedar support in AppCode would be awesome! I much prefer the standalone test runner but I do miss the red/green results OCUnit gives. Having focused spec running from the IDE would be great too.

OK, I can create a ticket with them, after which we can vote. (They do listen). 

But before I do. If it's green/red bars you want (aka deep IDE integration), are there still enough reasons why using the OCUnit runner is not good enough?

What issue have you had with Kiwi?  As you're likely aware, Kiwi is largely a copy/paste of Cedar, so you may have the same problems with both.

I was not aware that it's a copy/paste, actually. .  (didn't delve into the code), and the website doesn't credit Cedar as a starting point. 

I had some compiling problems with the OCUnit test runner - code that looked ok just wouldn't compile. . . Trying now with Cedar (both runners). Will report back results.
