libboost 1.62 error option --log_sink

I just install boost 1.62 and run boost unit test option with --log_sink=output.xml but i got an error.

here is my command line

./App --log_level=test_suite --log_format=JUNIT --log_sink=output.xml

and i got this error message from boost

test setup error: Access with invalid type for argument corresponding to parameter log_sink

I already did unit test with boost 1.56 there was no error with --log_sink and I dont know why it happened in boost 1.62

Solution

  • Someboost::test command line options appear to be broken in boost 1.62, see: Boost.test --report_sink parameter broken.

    A workaround is to use the --logger option, e.g.:

    ./App --logger=JUNIT,test_suite,output.xml
