Catch
A modern, C++-native, test framework for unit-tests, TDD and BDD - using C++14, C++17 and later (C++11 support is in v2.x branch, and C++03 on the Catch1.x branch)
For this week's lab I implemented Github Actions for my GAS SSG. First I went back and got my tests from last week working. Even though I implemented testing many of them were failing for reasons I didn't have time to get to, which I thankfully got the chance to get figured out this week. The biggest issue that held me up last week was file input not working if I didn't compile my program as I normally do, which I realized was because I hadn't changed my Visual Studio working directory - so my files were being compiled from one folder while the project was in another - obviously the path was wrong when compiling from the project folder.
Finally, I moved onto working on Kien's potato SSG. His setup with catch2 is similar to mine, we both have it set up to provide us a main which we compile separately when we want to test it, rather than having it integrated into the program all the time. This made it easy to get started on his, I read his contributing.md which specified one should create a new source file to write their desired test cases, which I did. After messing around with file paths for a bit and figuring out how to get my test to pass, I pushed a commit and created a pull request with a test for his HTMLFile.getTitle() function. Unfortunately I realized with the workflow he had set up this wouldn't trigger his CI so I opted to insert my test case in test.cpp instead to see if it passed his workflow, which thankfully it did.
