Hijacking JUnit infrastructure   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #21795 of 22044 |
Hello,
JUnit is a defacto standard in Java circle, which means it has a rich
ecosystem. I would like to "hijack" this ecosystem for other
languages/environments than Java. I actually did something for running
Javascript tests with htmlunit and would now like to to do the same
thing for C/C++ tests: use JUnit to drive and report test executions
that encapsulates native tests.

I am no sure this is a good idea, but it kind of worked for my JS
tests. For the C tests, I am confronted with an issue probably due to
my misunderstanding of JUnit architecture: It seems that Runner
instances need Class objects to work on, being passed them by the
framework. But of course, in my particular case I do not have specific
Class objects to work with as tests are written in native C/C++ code.

Could somebody point me to the right direction, or give me some good
reasons to forget about this ?

Thanks

Arnaud

... Arnaud, There are definitely ways to do what you want. Runner doesn't require a Java class, it just happens that almost all of the provided subclasses do...
