Is the imgui test engine and test suite framework compatible with Google Test? #10

Don't know where to send this question - is the ImGUI test engine and test suite compatible or interoperable with Google Test (gtest)?

If this is possible where or how might this be possible?

It'd be helpful to know what functionality from GoogleTest you'd expect to interoperate with the test engine.

As far as the actual tests and asserts go: I would say no. You should treat the Dear ImGui Test Engine as its own testing framework.

As far as ancillary functionality like gMock goes: I imagine it probably works, but I think you should look at the Test Engine as being designed for system/integration tests rather than unit tests. (You can of course mock in system tests, but in my experience it's generally frowned upon.)

If your goal is to aggregate results (IE: for CI), the Test Engine supports exporting the JUnit XML report format. (GoogleTest supports a variant of this format, so your existing tools might already support it.)
