I'm trying to run a single test class ThisIsTheClassTest.java in a Java Play project but fails and cannot seem to find the cause.
When I run test:compile the response is plain [success] Total time: 1 s, completed Jun 5, 2018 9:30:19 PM
But when using autocomplete to list all available test classes there is one missing.
It seems that it might be the filename itself (for whatever reason) as it all works well if I copy the entire code into another file ThisIsNotTheFile.java and run test:Compile. But even if I delete the entire file ThisIsTheClassTest.java and add it again it does not work.
If one of the classes did not compile I would not expect the answer [success].
Is there a way to see skipped/failed/ignored compilations or at least additional logging?
The code is probably in the wrong directory.

See below for the following code, and below that, the error that follows.
std::string source = "C:\\Users\\cambarchian\\Documents\\tested";
std::string destination = "C:\\Users\\cambarchian\\Documents\\tester";
std::filesystem::path sourcepath = source;
std::filesystem::path destpath = destination;
std::filesystem::copy_options::update_existing;
std::filesystem::copy(sourcepath, destpath);
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::filesystem::__cxx11::filesystem_error'
what(): filesystem error: cannot copy: File exists [C:\Users\cambarchian\Documents\tested] [C:\Users\cambarchian\Documents\tester]
Tried to use filesystem::copy, along with trying different paths. No luck with anything. Not too much I can write here as the problem is listed above, could be a simple formatting issue. That being said, it worked on my home computer using visual studio 2022, however using VS Code with gcc 11.2 gives me this issue.
Using:
filesystem::copy_file(oldPath, newPath, filesystem::copy_options::overwrite_existing);
The overloads of std::filesystem::copy are documented. You're using the first overload, but want the second:
void copy(from, to) which is equivalent to [overload 2, below] using copy_options::none
void copy(from, to, options)
Writing the statement std::filesystem::copy_options::update_existing; before calling copy doesn't achieve anything at all, whereas passing the option to the correct overload like
std::filesystem::copy(sourcepath, destpath,
std::filesystem::copy_options::update_existing);
should do what you want.
... it worked on my home computer using visual studio 2022 ...
you don't say whether the destination file existed in that case, which is the first thing you should check.
I put the copy_options within the copy function but it didn't work so I started moving it around, I probably should have mentioned that.
Randomly permuting your code isn't a good way of generating clean examples for others to help with.
In the rare event that hacking away at something does fix it, I strongly recommend pausing to figure out why. When you've hacked away at something and it still doesn't work, by all means leave comments to remind yourself what you tried, but the code itself should still be in a good state.
Still doesn't work when I write std::filesystem::copy(sourcepath, destpath, std::filesystem::copy_options::recursive)
Well, that's a different option, isn't it? Were you randomly permuting which copy_options you selected as well?
Trying recursive and update_existing yields the same issue.
The documentation says
The behavior is undefined if there is more than one option in any of the copy_options option group present in options (even in the copy_file group).
so you shouldn't be setting both anyway. There's no benefit to recursively copying a single file, but there may be a benefit to updating or overwriting one. If the destination already exists. Which, according to your error, it does.
Since you do have an error explicitly saying "File exists", you should certainly look at the "options controlling copy_file() when the file already exists" section of the table here.
Visual Studio 2022 fixed the problem
I'd like to get the number of tests that were run with go test, as kind of a checksum to detect if all the tests are running. Since Go relies on filenames and method names to determine what's a test, it's easy to mistype something, which would mean the test would silently be skipped.
I think that the gotestsum tool is close to what you are looking for.
It is a wrapper around go test that prints formatted test output and a summary of the test run.
Default go test:
go test ./...
? github.com/marco-m/timeit/cmd/sleepit [no test files]
ok github.com/marco-m/timeit/cmd/timeit 0.601s
Default gotestsum:
gotestsum
∅ cmd/sleepit
✓ cmd/timeit (cached)
DONE 11 tests in 0.273s <== see here
Checkout the documentation and the built-in help, it is well-written.
In my experience, gotestsum (and the other tools by the same organization) is good. For me, it is also very important to be able to use the standard Go test package, without other "test frameworks". gotestsum allows me to do so.
On the other hand, to really satisfy your requirement (print the number of declared tests and verify that that number is actually ran), you would need something like TAP, the Test Anything Protocol, which works for any programming language:
1..4 <== see here
ok 1 - Input file opened
not ok 2 - First line of the input valid
ok 3 - Read the rest of the file
not ok 4 - Summarized correctly # TODO Not written yet
TAP actually is very nice and simple. I remember there was a Go port, tap-go, but it is now marked as archived.
BACKGROUND
We have testers for our embedded GUI product and when a tester declares "test failed", sometimes it's hard for us developers to reproduce the exact problem because we don't have the exact trace of what happened.
We do currently have a logging framework but us devs have to manually input those logging statements in the code which is fine . . . except when a hard-to-reproduce bug occurs and we didn't have a log statement at the 'right' location and then when we re-build, re-run the test with the same steps, we get a different result.
ISSUE
We would like a solution wherein the compiler produces extra instrumentation code that allows us to see the exact sequence of events including, at the minimum:
function enter/exit (already provided by -finstrument-functions)
control-flow statement enter i.e. entering if/else, which case statement we jumped to
The log would look like this:
int main() entered
if-line 5 entered
else-line 10 entered
void EventLoop() entered
. . .
Some additional nice-to-haves are
Parameter values on function entry AND exit (for pass-by-reference types)
Function return value
QUESTION
Are there any gcc tools or even paid tools that can do this instrumentation automatically?
You can either use gdb for that, and you can automate that (I've got a tool for that in the works, you find it here or you can try to use gcov.
The gcov implementation is so, that it loads the latest gcov data when you start the program. But: you can manually dump and load the data. If you call __gcov_flush it will dump the current data and reset the current state. However: if you do that several times it will always merge the data, so you'd also need to rename the gcov data file then.
The go test command has support for the -c flag, described as follows:
-c Compile the test binary to pkg.test but do not run it.
(Where pkg is the last element of the package's import path.)
As far as I understand, generating a binary like this is the way to run it interactively using GDB. However, since the test binary is created by combining the source and test files temporarily in some /tmp/ directory, this is what happens when I run list in gdb:
Loading Go Runtime support.
(gdb) list
42 github.com/<username>/<project>/_test/_testmain.go: No such file or directory.
This means I cannot happily inspect the Go source code in GDB like I'm used to. I know it is possible to force the temporary directory to stay by passing the -work flag to the go test command, but then it is still a huge hassle since the binary is not created in that directory and such. I was wondering if anyone found a clean solution to this problem.
Go 1.5 has been released, and there is still no officially sanctioned Go debugger. I haven't had much success using GDB for effectively debugging Go programs or test binaries. However, I have had success using Delve, a non-official debugger that is still undergoing development: https://github.com/derekparker/delve
To run your test code in the debugger, simply install delve:
go get -u github.com/derekparker/delve/cmd/dlv
... and then start the tests in the debugger from within your workspace:
dlv test
From the debugger prompt, you can single-step, set breakpoints, etc.
Give it a whirl!
Unfortunately, this appears to be a known issue that's not going to be fixed. See this discussion:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/golang-nuts/nIA09gp3eNU
I've seen two solutions to this problem.
1) create a .gdbinit file with a set substitute-path command to
redirect gdb to the actual location of the source. This file could be
generated by the go tool but you'd risk overwriting someone's custom
.gdbinit file and would tie the go tool to gdb which seems like a bad
idea.
2) Replace the source file paths in the executable (which are pointing
to /tmp/...) with the location they reside on disk. This is
straightforward if the real path is shorter then the /tmp/... path.
This would likely require additional support from the compiler /
linker to make this solution more generic.
It spawned this issue on the Go Google Code issue tracker, to which the decision ended up being:
https://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=2881
This is annoying, but it is the least of many annoying possibilities.
As a rule, the go tool should not be scribbling in the source
directories, which might not even be writable, and it shouldn't be
leaving files elsewhere after it exits. There is next to nothing
interesting in _testmain.go. People testing with gdb can break on
testing.Main instead.

Status: Unfortunate
So, in short, it sucks, and while you can work around it and GDB a test executable, the development team is unlikely to make it as easy as it could be for you.
I'm still new to the golang game but for what it's worth basic debugging seems to work.
The list command you're trying to work can be used so long as you're already at a breakpoint somewhere in your code. For example:
(gdb) b aws.go:54
Breakpoint 1 at 0x61841: file /Users/mat/gocode/src/github.com/stellar/deliverator/aws/aws.go, line 54.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /Users/mat/gocode/src/github.com/stellar/deliverator/aws/aws.test
[snip: some arnings about BinaryCache]
Breakpoint 1, github.com/stellar/deliverator/aws.imageIsNewer (latest=0xc2081fe2d0, ami=0xc2081fe3c0, ~r2=false)
at /Users/mat/gocode/src/github.com/stellar/deliverator/aws/aws.go:54
54 layout := "2006-01-02T15:04:05.000Z"
(gdb) list
49 func imageIsNewer(latest *ec2.Image, ami *ec2.Image) bool {
50 if latest == nil {
51 return true
52 }
53
54 layout := "2006-01-02T15:04:05.000Z"
55
56 amiCreationTime, amiErr := time.Parse(layout, *ami.CreationDate)
57 if amiErr != nil {
58 panic(amiErr)
This is just after running the following in the aws subdir of my project:
go test -c
gdb aws.test
As an additional caveat, it does seem very selective about where breakpoints can be placed. Seems like it has to be an expression but that conclusion is only via experimentation.
If you're willing to use tools besides GDB, check out godebug. To use it, first install with:
go get github.com/mailgun/godebug
Next, insert a breakpoint somewhere by adding the following statement to your code:
_ = "breakpoint"
Now run your tests with the godebug test command.
godebug test
It supports many of the parameters from the go test command.
-test.bench string
regular expression per path component to select benchmarks to run
-test.benchmem
print memory allocations for benchmarks
-test.benchtime duration
approximate run time for each benchmark (default 1s)

-test.blockprofilerate int
if >= 0, calls runtime.SetBlockProfileRate() (default 1)
-test.count n
run tests and benchmarks n times (default 1)
-test.coverprofile string
write a coverage profile to the named file after execution
-test.cpu string
comma-separated list of number of CPUs to use for each test
-test.cpuprofile string

-test.v
verbose: print additional output
I have reinstalled emacs 24.2.50 on a new linux host and started a new dotEmacs config based on magnars emacs configuration. Since I have used CEDET to some success in my previous workflow I started configuring it. However, there is some strange behaviour whenever I load a C++ source file.
[This Part Is Solved]
As expected, semantic parses all included files (and during the initial setup parses all files specified by the semantic-add-system-include variables), but it prints this an error message that goes like this:
WARNING: semantic-find-file-noselect called for /usr/include/c++/4.7/vector while in set-auto-mode for /usr/include/c++/4.7/vector. You should call the responsible function into 'mode-local-init-hook'.
In the above example the error is printed for the STL vector but a corresponding error message is printed for every file included by the one I'm visiting and any subsequent includes. As a result it takes quite a long time to finish and unfortunately the process is repeated any type I open a new buffer.
[This Problem Is Solved Too]
Furthermore it looks like the parsing doesn't really work as when I place the point above a non-c primitive type (i.e. not int,double,float, etc) instead of printing the type's definition in the modeline an error message like
Idle Service Error semantic-idle-local-symbol-highlight-idle-function: "#<buffer DEPFETResolutionAnalysis.cc> - Wrong type argument: stringp, (((0) \"IndexMap\"))"
Idle Service Error semantic-idle-summary-idle-function: "#<buffer DEPFETResolutionAnalysis.cc> - Wrong type argument: stringp, ((\"fXBetween\" 0 nil nil))"
where DEPFETResolutionAnalysis.cc is the file & buffer I'm currently editing and IndexMap and fXBetween are types defined in files included by the file I'm editing/some file included by the file I'm editing.
I have not tested any further features of CEDET/semantic as the problem is pretty annoying. My cedet config can be found here.
EDIT: With the help of Alex Ott I kinda solved the first problem. It was due to my horrible cedet initialisation. See his first answer for the proper way to configure CEDET!
There still remains the problem with the Idle Service Error (which, when enabling global-semantic-idle-local-symbol-highlight-mode, occurs permanently, not only when checking the definition of the type at point).
And there is the new problem of how to disable the site-wise init file(s).
EDIT2: I have executed semantic-debug-idle-function in a buffer where the problem occurs and it produces a ~700kb [sic!] output. It looks like it is performing some operations on a data container which, by the looks of it, contains information on all the symbols defined in the files parsed. As I have parsed a rather large package (~20Mb source files) this table is rather large. Can semantic handle a database that large or is this impossible and the reason of my problem?
EDIT3: Deleting the content of ~/.semanticdb and reparsing all includes did the trick. I still need to disable the site-wise init files but as this is not related to CEDET I will close this question (the question related to the site-wise init files can be found here).
You need to change your init file so it will perform loading of CEDET only once, not in the hook that will be called for each .h/.hpp/.c/.cpp files. You can change this config as the base, and read more in following article.
The problem that you have is caused because Semantic is trying to analyze header files, and when it tries to open them, then its initialization routines are called again, and again...
The first problem was solved by correctly configuring CEDET which is discribed on Alex Ott's homepage. His answer solves this first problem. The config file specified in his answer is a great start for a nice config; I have used the very same to config CEDET for my needs.
The second problem vanished once I updated CEDET from 1.1 to the bazaar (repository) version, which is explained here and in Alex' article. Additionaly one must delete the content of the directory ~/.semanticdb (which contains the semantic database and was corrupted I guess).
I'd like to thank Alex Ott for his help and sticking with me throughout my journey to the solution :)
