Need an Eclipse plug-in

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice to have an Eclipse plug-in for Google Test.

Josha at industrial logic has done some work here.

latest
edition of eclipse...

Putting myself in the queue.
For me it is a reason to use (or not to use if not available).

Guys, don't just wait for this to happen, because it won't happen is we all 
just wait.  ;-) gtest is a community project.  Feel free to contribute a patch!

Such a plugin would use the XML output of gtest as a base?
I know Eclipse has a UnitTest API that we could hook into.

I was also searching for a gtest plugin for eclipse, because it really sucks to 
write scripts to compile and run the test cases outside the IDE. 

Now I'm running it without a plugin, you just need to set up one addition 
configuration for gtest.

I will try to describe may steps:

1. Eclipse creates already two configurations, if you create a new C++ project, 
Debug and Release.
2. First you need to modify one of your actual configuration, so that eclipse 
excludes your test source. I think everybody of you who uses eclipse already do 
it or should do.
If you source directory is "src/ and test is "src/test":
Project Properties -> C/C++ Generals -> Path and Symbols -> Source Location -> 
Select the folder -> Edit Filter -> Add: test/*. If there is no folder, just 
add your main source directory.

4. Now we need to create a configuration for gtest.
5. Project Propereties -> Manager Configuration -> New -> Set name "Test" -> OK
6. Set the configuration as active.
7. Now we need again to modify the exclude path, like in step 3. We remove the 
test/* filter and add main.cpp
8. Finally we need to set the gtest lib.
9. Project Properties -> C/C++ Generals -> Path and Symbols -> Libraries -> 
add: gtest and gtest_main
Maybe you have to set the library path, depends how/where you install gtest.

I am using https://github.com/xgsa/cdt-tests-runner/wiki/Tutorial

It will be a default plugin in Eclipse CDT 9.0.

Works great
