What is the best Unit testing framework for VS code for C?
You shouldn't need a configuration file to write tests with Unity. You are using Unity from Unity on Github right? You can use YAML files to along with some helper scripts Unity and related tools provide, but it doesn't sound like you are there yet.

In C++, why am I getting an error about iterators going out of range of a vector in a statement that uses neither iterations nor vectors?
First, for context, as part of my internship, I'm writing unit tests for functions from a hardware manufacturer provided C++ library. This particular code is testing if the relevant function returns a unique location ID for each hardware device. The test assert macro I'm using is from the Unity test framework C library.

Where can I find information on how to use specific Unity test framework macros in C/C++?
Edit: I also tried Googling "list of Unity test framework macros" and found this, which is kind of helpful, but still doesn't actually explain how the correct syntax for specific macros or precisely what they do. I guess basically, I'm looking for something similar to the entries on cppreference.com, but for the Unity macros instead of the standard library functions for C++.

industry standard for Test frameworks?
I know Unity is used in the embedded industry, I also use it for my own personal projects. It’s great and does everything I need.

Testing Frameworks for C++, ESP32
If you're using the ESP-IDF framework, it already comes with Unity. It's easy to use, and you have the Test Driven Development for Embedded C book as reference.

I wrote a Unit Testing Framework in pure C that can test C & C++ code
Drawing a comparison to heavyweights like Google Test isn't fair game though. Your real competition is the likes of Unity and CuTest. My question to you, what does Muon have that Unity doesn't? What's the selling point to get me to switch over?

Starting with C
Okay, time to start unit tests!!! We will use Unity Test Framework to do unit testing. It is one of widely used testing frameworks alongside with Check, Google Test etc. Just downloading source code, and putting it to the project folder is enough to make it work (that is also why it is portable).

Automatically run tests, formatters & linters with CI!
Roy's project uses Google Test, a C++ testing framework. His testing setup is similar to mine as we both keep source files in one directory and tests in another. The key difference is that I can run the tests using the Visual Studios run button. It was fairly easy to write the new tests as there were existing ones that I could reference to check the syntax!

The Google Test Documentation provides a primer for first-time users. The primer introduces some basic concepts and terminology, some of which I've been able to learn for this lab exercise.

CI/CD pipelines for embedded
Not sure about CppUnit but I can speak to my previous experience using the googletest framework which compiles your tests to an executable, and since it's a very simple framework we were able to cross-compile and run directly on our device. We just had to hook up a device to the server that was running the CI so it could flash it when needed. That basically meant that our process was:
