Maven 2 and C/C++ Testing Framework
Hi,
I am looking for using C/C++ Testing Framework (like CppUnit, CxxTest or
googletest) with maven 2.
Does anybody already done it ?
We are using native-maven-plugin for the compilation.
But I am quite surprise that the native build lifecycle for this plugin
consists of the following phases with corresponding goals (cf. [1]):
test-compile org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:testCompile
test org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-surefire-plugin:test
I don't think that surefire support such of Testing Framework.
It seems that we will have to bind :
- an execution of the native-maven-plugin to the test-compile phase
- an execution of the maven-antrun-plugin to the test phase

Isn't it possible to use dependencies directly in the plugin ?
For instance
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.jfrog.jade.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>jade-native-plugin</artifactId>
<extensions>true</extensions>
<configuration>
...
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>my_groupid</groupId>
<artifactId>my_h_dep</artifactId>
<version>my_version</version>
<type>?</type>
<scope>compile</scope>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

It's the workaround we thought to use.
Thanks,

having .h files as dependencies is not possible as this moment. The
main problem here is how you would know which one is really include
files, user may want .c, .hpp as include file as well.
Also the pom will be polluted with lots of .h dep
One work around is to package .h files in a compressed form to be your
pom dependency file and use maven-dependency-plugin to unpack them
into a location under target directory, then reference the native
source path to pick them up.

Hi Dan,
The mentioned test phase is for java test.
True and it why i was surprise that native-maven-plugin is linked to it.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this plugin. We will have a look.
I wonder also how to manage C interfaces (.h) with this plugin.
As I can see in configuration example (cf. [1] and [2]), we have to include
them in the source path:
<source>
<directory>${native.source.dir}/include</directory>
</source>
I don't like it to much because we have to specify a path directory.
I rather prefer to use a dependency (it's really better if you have
different modules/projects).
Isn't it possible ?

The mentioned test phase is for java test. Take a look at jade native
maven plugin, it is an spin off of native plugin and covers cppunit
