I'm tasked with hooking up Google Test in Eclipse. I got Google Test working from the command-line, but we want it working like JUnit for Java in Eclipse. This is theoretically possible. However, running through all the online instructions I can find, they all say to use Run -> Run Configurations... -> C/C++ Unit option. For the life of me, I can't find it. Everything else is in the Run Configurations dialog, just not that item.
So I figured, even though we have Eclipse for C++ Developers installed (which should contain everything that the CDT Plug-in contains), maybe it's missing the unit testing stuff. Trying to update CDT, however, just shows that the only thing missing is the Autotools stuff (which we have no need for).
Vital statistics:
Eclipse version: Oxygen.1a Release (4.7.1a)
Operating System: Linux, CentOS
Compiler: gcc
I know that's the not the latest version of Oxygen. It's the latest we can use, because the current versions have a bug that doesn't recognize our code as valid C++.
How do I get the C/C++ Unit option in Run Configurations?
You need to install "C/C++ unit testing support" feature. Go to Help -> Install new software, select All available sites and search for it. Installing it will require Eclipse restart. After restart C++ unit test group will appear in the list of Debug configurations.

I had loaded the project to Eclipse but when I open the .cpp file, it like to open a text file.
Anyone know how to display the code-view in eclipse?
Please support.
Thank you so much.
I cannot find C/C++ in Window -> Preferences
Then you have no CDT installed – I suppose you got the version direct from the initial download page, but that's actually the java package – there's a link 'download packages' below, where you would have found the C++ package. Not too obvious, admitted.
Never mind, you don't need to re-install: Help -> About will reveil you your installed version's name ('Kepler', 'Luna', ...); via Help -> Install new packages you can add CDT plugin to your installation. Select under work with your release version of eclipse repository, e. g. http://download.eclipse.org/releases/photon.
Minimally, you need: C/C++ Development Tools, other plugins might be useful, too, like standalone debugger, call graph visualisation, unit testing support, auto tools support (configure, make; especially under linux), possibly LLVM support (if you want to use clang compiler), ...
My issue had been fixed.
Just do below steps in ubuntu:
Go to
https://www.eclipse.org/cdt/downloads.php and download newest CDT(C/C++ Develop Tool) version.
Copy the download file
eclipse-cpp-2018-12-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
to your folder in Ubuntu.
Extract
eclipse-cpp-2018-12-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
Run execute eclipse file -> Done.
I just did the default Java (8) installation of Eclipse on my Windows (8, yikes) laptop, and it seems to work just fine. However, I'm not as good at Java as I am with C and C++, and for some work it's more expeditious to use C/C++ than Java.
Unfortunately, the Eclipse installer for Windows doesn't make it very easy to set up Eclipse for C/C++. It looks like I'd be fine with Linux or BSD, but then I'd have to scrounge up another laptop (because I need the mobility) and install Linux or BSD on it. Yes, I need to leave Windows on this machine, so Windows hate isn't going to help me.
My lazy web search turned up this article: "Install Eclipse for C++ Development on Windows 7 64-bit". Is there a better installation guide than that, or does anyone care to describe the process in more detail?
Even though you have CDT features installed, you need to install a GCC compiler for windows such as MinGW or Cygwin. Once you install them, add the 'bin' folder in the installed path to the environment variables and then restart eclipse. You should now see MinGW compiler when you select "Create new C Project". After this step, proceed with your C programs and this should resolve your problems.
You will have to install a GCC compiler in your PC and then link it to the project each time you create a project. This can be done while you create a new project, or even after you have done so. You can download MinGW compiler through the following link
https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/latest/download?source=files
Once you have downloaded the compiler and installed it, it can be linked through the following steps:
i. While creating a new project, choose MinGW GCC compiler in the tool chains.
ii. Once you have finished creating a project, go to Project->Properties.
iii. Look for Run/Debug Settings in the left panel.
iv. Click on the New tab and select C/C++ Application.
v. Look for Environment option.
vi. Click on the New tab.
vii. Type "PATH" in the Name bar and fill the Value bar with the path of the compiler. For me, its C:\MinGW\bin.
vii. Click on OK and you are done!
The instructions you link to have you install Eclipse IDE for C/C++ developers which will work fine to get a C/C++ development environment up.
If you would instead like to use your EXISTING installation of Eclipse and add C++ Development Tooling (CDT) you can launch Eclipse and then use Install New Software to install the C/C++ Development Tools
I'm trying to set up a c++ unit testing library on my computer and figured that google's gtest would be a good fit.
I am currently running mountain lion with the most recent release of xcode.
I have been attempting to follow the instructions found here but am running into an intresting problem.
I am opening the gtest project, building it, and even though xcode tells me that the build was successful, I cant seem to find the framework anywhere. any help on this subject would be highly appreciated!
Thank you!
This worked for me:
Get the code from https://github.com/dmonopoly/gtest-cmake-example
Run the cmake GUI in the usual way (I used version 3.0.0). Hit "Configure", one of the prompts allows you to choose XCode generation. Hit configure again, Enable the "test" config option, hit configure again (and maybe even once again), then hit "Generate".
You should now be able to find the XCode project in the build directory that you specified. Open that project, and you will find the gtest source code, some demo test code, as well as a target for running the tests.
Google's answers (hear! hear!) and Eclipse Market Place search results on this topic simply drive me crazy! And apparently the proposed SO answers aren't really helpful either.
I'm looking for an Eclipse plugin, that allows me to browse a JUnit report XML compliant unit test report produced from a google test runner.
Nice to have features:
jump to the source from failure reports
run the tests automatically after building.
I'm pretty sure a (free) plugin suitable for Eclipse CDT exists, that realizes these requirements, I'm just too stupid to find it :-). May be any smarter guy/gal here?
Since JUNO there is a C++ Unit testing support package. It is package of the CDT. I only used it with boost test, but AFAIK it also supports googletest.
#mkaes comment pushed me to it!
Install the CDT (Help->Install Software->CDT) optional C/C++ Unit Test support
Create a new Runner using 'Run As -> Run Configurations -> C/C++ Unit Test
Choose 'Google Tests Runner' for 'Tests Runner' in the 'C/C++ Testing' tab
Choose your testing project executable in the 'Main' tab
Run it, and the 'C/C++ Unit' view shows up after (rebuild and) execution
Look here for more illustrated and detailed instructions: Eclipse Juno has landed with unit testing support for C++
I have a simple mixed C/C++ application (OpenGL example) which I have successfully built using Eclipse CDT in Juno (MinGW toolchain).
I can run this application fine by hand from a Win7 command console, but it seems to rarely work when running from Eclipse's "Run as" menu. Whether it works or not seems down to seemingly unrelated changes in the code, and I get nothing of interest on the Eclipse run console (just a <terminated> status) even when no code near the start of the application has changed.
I'd like to and it sometimes I can work around this for now, but would be good to get this working if anyone has any ideas - it seems an essential stepping stone to get the debug environment working in Eclipse.
EDIT Side thought - eclipse seems awfully thin on debug diagnostics when something like this fails. If there is any way to turn on more debug I'd welcome the knowledge =)
Resolved - the issue is down to the path being given to the application, or more specifically the OS launcher (so it can find the DLLs it needs).
Even through the default "run" config claims to inherit the parent environment, it doesn't seem to get the same environment as the Win7 command console. I had to manually edit the "Run as" config in Eclipse to have a custom PATH environment variable containing the directories I needed (MinGW/bin, and a directory containing some custom DLLs).
Cheers, Iso
