report_tests_ide_stdout

Ceedling Plugin: IDE Test Suite Console Report

Prints to the console ($stdout) test suite results with a test failure filepath and line number format understood by nearly any IDE.

Plugin Overview

This plugin is intended to be used in place of the more commonly used "pretty" test report plugin. Like its sibling, this plugin ollects raw test results from the individual test executables of your test suite and presents them in a more readable summary form.

The format of test results produced by this plugin is identical to its prettier sibling with one key difference — test failures are listed in such a way that filepaths, line numbers, and test case function names can be easily parsed by a typical IDE. The formatting of test failure messages uses a simple, defacto standard of a sort recognized almost universally.

The end result is that test failures in your IDE's build window can become links that jump directly to failing test cases.

Setup

Enable the plugin in your project.yml by adding report_tests_ide_stdout to the list of enabled plugins instead of any other report_tests_*_stdout plugin.

:plugins:
  :enabled:
    - report_tests_ide_stdout

Configuration

No additional configuration is needed once the plugin is enabled.
