exiting on FATAL asserts in google test framework

Is there any option or method to exit from google test framework completely without executing any further tests when we have identified a FATAL assert which renders any further testing useless ?

Solution

  • There is no specific mechanism provided by the library to abort execution, but nothing prevents you from using a standard assertion to abort program execution.

    #include <cassert>

TEST(TestSuite, TestCase)
{
    assert(<fatal condition>);
    // ...
}

    If the fatal condition is the result of some test setup that you can control, you might be interested in learning about Google Test's support for Death Tests.
