Google Test #1.a: Setup Googletest in Netbeans

Googletest is one of the best C++ unit test frameworks today. This video shows you how to setup and run Googletest in Netbeans.

Thank you!  I have setting up my IDEs and testing frameworks.  They never seem to "just work."  Your video reduced the pain an order of magnitude!

I tried to do the same steps as on the video in Netbeans 8.2, but got a linker error. For example, undefined reference to If you have a similar problem you just need to add string to Linker -> Input -> Additional options. Hope, it'll help you!

Created test project as a static library, now it works fine.

Dear Bo Qian,

  Thank you for your very instructive video.  I have followed your steps carefully.  When I run my first real test (the very end of your video), the test clearly runs and passes, but I get an error on the global environment tear-down: 

clang: error: no such file or directory: '.test-post'

I am running Netbeans on a mac OSX.

Looking around, this looks like it is a small error, but I don't know how to fix it.  Is it a bad Netbeans setup?

Many thanks.

Thanks! Very useful.
FYI, ran into an issue where I needed to add -lpthread to the linker. I'm on Arch Linux.

Stuck on step 3 Create a unit test project.. Is this normal C++ application ?
For this step I created C++ application project added MyStack.cpp and Mystack.h added include paths and linked googletest project.. but when I attempt to Test it, the build fails.. undefined reference to `WinMain'
I am using netbeans IDE 8.0 on Windows 7 64bit platform.  Am I missing any thing ? Should this test project be created in a different way ?

This is great stuff. Can you do similar stuff for cppUnit and Cunit?

Hi Bo!!. Your videos are very helpful.. Can I request you some thing.. Can you upload a tutorial on gmock(if possible).. Like all other videos.. even the videos on gmock.. will definitely makes sense to lot of people.. like me..

Thanks for a video. However, I do have a problem. My build step fails with:

g++ -c -g -I../gtest-1.7.0 -I../gtest-1.7.0/include -MMD -MP -MF -o
g++: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple compilations
gmake[2]: *** Error 1

Any ideas why this might be?

Thanks.

Never mind, ti was the old version of gcc (2.9) that was an issue.

Is this process similar for gmock? thanks
