This automation can be done with GitHub Actions. This .github/workflows/ci.yml file below is all that is needed to trigger GitHub Actions to do the following:
This week, I am using Continuous Integration to automatically lint and test my open source project whenever the code is pulled or pushed to GitHub!
Another task I completed this week in open source was contributing to Roy's project by adding some unit tests. This was my first time contributing open source code in C++, and I am glad that Roy reached out to collab with me since I've been mostly working with Python/Java/JavaScript these days and I wanted to step out of my comfort zone. Roy created an issue for the tests he required and I submitted my PR which he later merged :)
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!
