Logging messages
|
||
|
================
|
||
|
|
||
|
Sometimes, it might be useful to print some output from within a test
|
||
|
or fixture -- and while this can be done trivially with a ``printf``,
|
||
|
it doesn't integrate well with the current output, nor does it work
|
||
|
*at all* when the process is testing a redirected stdout.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For these cases, Criterion exposes a logging facility:
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. code-block:: c
|
||
|
|
||
|
#include <criterion/criterion.h>
|
||
|
#include <criterion/logging.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
Test(suite_name, test_name) {
|
||
|
cr_log_info("This is an informational message. They are not displayed "
|
||
|
"by default.");
|
||
|
cr_log_warn("This is a warning. They indicate some possible malfunction "
|
||
|
"or misconfiguration in the test.");
|
||
|
cr_log_error("This is an error. They indicate serious problems and "
|
||
|
"are usually shown before the test is aborted.");
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
``cr_log_info``, ``cr_log_warn`` and ``cr_log_error`` are all macros expanding
|
||
|
to a call to the ``cr_log`` function. All of them take a mandatory format string,
|
||
|
followed by optional parameters; for instance:
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. code-block:: c
|
||
|
|
||
|
cr_log_info("%d + %d = %d", 1, 2, 3);
|
||
|
|
||
|
If using C++, the output stream objects ``info``, ``warn`` and ``error`` are
|
||
|
defined within the ``criterion::logging`` namespace, and can be used in
|
||
|
conjunction with ``operator<<``:
|
||
|
|
||
|
.. code-block:: c++
|
||
|
|
||
|
#include <criterion/criterion.h>
|
||
|
#include <criterion/logging.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
using criterion::logging::info;
|
||
|
using criterion::logging::warn;
|
||
|
using criterion::logging::error;
|
||
|
|
||
|
Test(suite_name, test_name) {
|
||
|
info << "This is an informational message. "
|
||
|
<< "They are not displayed by default."
|
||
|
<< std::flush;
|
||
|
warn << "This is a warning. "
|
||
|
<< "They indicate some possible malfunction "
|
||
|
<< "or misconfiguration in the test."
|
||
|
<< std::flush;
|
||
|
error << "This is an error. "
|
||
|
<< "They indicate serious problems and "
|
||
|
<< "are usually shown before the test is aborted."
|
||
|
<< std::flush;
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that empty messages are ignored, and newlines in the log message splits
|
||
|
the passed string into as many messages are there are lines.
