vim-gtest

Vim plugin to quickly select and run GoogleTest asyncronously.

Usage

Select gtest command

:GTestCmd path/to/test/executable

Or add this line to your .vimrc:

let g:gtest#gtest_command = "path/to/test/executable"

Default is: ./test

Select tests by name

You can select test case and test name, with autocompletion.

:GTestCase MyTestCase
:GTestName MyTestName

Run selected tests

:GTestRun

Find tests

Go to the prev/next test in the current buffer.

:GTestPrev
:GTestNext

Enable/Disable tests under cursor

This remove/add DISABLED_ prefix to test name.

:GTestToggleEnabled

Insert a new test

This insert a new test under cursor.

:GTestNewTest

This text will be inserted, with cursor placed on ✎:

TEST_F(PreviousFixture, ✎) {
}

PreviousFixture is the name of the first fixture found backward in the source code. A fixture is something like this:

struct MyTest : public testing::Test {
  ...
}

Run test under cursor

:GTestRunUnderCursor

CtrlP

Don't you know what ctrlp.vim is?

It's a fantastic fuzzy finder for vim! Try it immediately!

vim-gtest extends ctrlp.vim with a google test finder. Now you can find and launch tests at the speed of light!

Attention: ctrlp.vim must be installed.

FZF

If you are using FZF, vim-gtest extends FZF with a google test finder. Now you can find and launch tests at the speed of light!

QuickFix

You can tell vim-gtest to highlight failing tests using vim's QuickFix.

:let g:gtest#highlight_failing_tests = 1
:GTestRun
:GTestHighlight

If you have vim-dispatch installed, calling :GTestHighlight isn't needed.

Switch files

You can switch from implementation to header to test:

:GTestJump

By default, filenames must follow this rule:

implementation: src/**/*.cpp
header: src/**/*.hpp
test: test/**/*_test.cpp

Test file suffix can be customized in vimrc using

let g:gtest#test_filename_suffix = "Test"

GTestJump will then look for test filename

test: test/**/*Test.cpp

Shortcuts

You can map these commands to your favorite shortcuts. These are mine:

Testing

To test this plugin you need to test it with a testable project. googletest can test itself. Testception ☺.

This will download and compile google test and its unit tests:

./test/make_test

Now from vim, just call from command line :GTestCmd ./test/launch.

After editing this plugin, just :source % and try something. Samples unit tests can be found in test/googletest/googletest/samples directory.
