How to work with sections to avoid duplicating code

[Loïc Joly]

Hello, I would like to have a test structure that looks like the following:

//Test setup
SECTION("1")
{
  // Do something
  // Check some values
}
SECTION("2")
{
  // Do something else, that should be equivalent
  // Perform exactly the same checks as before
}

My issue is that I would like not to repeat the checking code.
I tried to put it in a helper function, but apparently, REQUIRE does not work in helper functions. I moved the checking test after the two SECTIONs, but then, when a test fails, I don't know which path led to the error.

Do you have any idea of how to solve this cleanly?

What has lead you to believe that "REQUIRE does not work in helper functions". It certainly does and that is how I usually solve the same problem in my code.

So I'm wondering if you're encountering a more specific issue that's preventing it from achieving your goal?

In fact, I tried it, and it failed to compile. But today I tried again, and it worked like a charm. I don't know what I did wrong, and I feel really sorry for having disturbed you...
