Geert Janssens 84b2428192 Tests: harmonize test initialization In particular, use qof_init instead of g_type_init. The former calls the latter by default. Also our current engine code is heavily dependent on gobject, so it makes sense to initialize it as early on as possible. Having once central place to do so will make it easier to fix this if ever we move away from gobject. git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.gnucash.org/repo/gnucash/trunk@22943 57a11ea4-9604-0410-9ed3-97b8803252fd		2013-05-03 12:03:53 +00:00

Unit Test Templates

This directory contains three template files for setting up GLib
g_test operated unit tests in a test directory. If your module
directory doesn't already have one, create a test subdirectory and add
it to configure.ac.

If there is already a test directory with make check tests in it, copy
the contents of the Makefile.am in this directory to the existing
Makefile.am; otherwise, copy the Makefile.am to your test directory.

Copy test-module.c and test-suite.c to your test directory and rename
them appropriately. You will very likely want several copies of
test-suite.c, one corresponding to each c file in the module directory
that you're testing.

Edit the test module file to call the (renamed) test_suite_module() in
each test-suite file. Add tests and fixtures as needed to the
test-suite files and add them to the (renamed) test_suite_module()
function.

Edit Makefile.am according to the comments in the file.

Run autogen.sh and configure. "make check" will run all tests; "make
test" will run only the GLib unit tests not guarded by conditionals
(see test-suite.c).
