I want to test a template class with gtest. I read about TYPED_TEST
s in Google Test manual and looked at official example they reference, but still can't wrap my head around getting an object of template class instantiated in my test.
Suppose the following simple template class:
template <typename T>
class Foo
{
public:
T data ;
};
In testing class we declare
typedef ::testing::Types<int, float> MyTypes ;
Now how can I instantiate an object of class Foo<T>
for T
s listed in MyTypes
in a test?
For example:
TYPED_TEST(TestFoo, test1)
{
Foo<T> object ;
object.data = 1.0 ;
ASSERT_FLOAT_EQ(object.data, 1.0) ;
}
Inside a test, refer to the special name TypeParam
to get the type parameter. So you could do
TYPED_TEST(TestFoo, test1)
{
Foo<TypeParam> object ; // not Foo<T>
object.data = 1.0 ;
ASSERT_FLOAT_EQ(object.data, 1.0) ;
}
