Unit testing and mocking for c++
Coming from googletest/googlemock, I found FakeIt to be a rabbit hole. In particular, I recall not being able to match const reference parameters or something strange like that -- the matcher values would dangle I think. Ah yes, this issue here: https://github.com/eranpeer/FakeIt/issues/108.

Unit testing and mocking for c++
I'm answering a question asked not from me. I've used both Google.Test and Catch2 and latter one feels much nicer. Sections from Catch2 just do not exist in other frameworks however they are super powerful. It has drawbacks like not having out of the box macros for setting up stuff once for all the runs of a test before a test is run with various parameters. See https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/issues/1602 Integrating gmock should be easy as I've seen but not flawless. As I remember some extra work needs to be done so expectations are verified at end of sections? See https://github.com/matepek/catch2-with-gmock Google.Test doesn't support (or at least didn't when I last looked) some combination of type and value generators. Other than that, the slightly uglier syntax and lack of sections (which is pretty big) it's all good. Especially with gmock all integrated and delivered to you in one package.
