I have a managed C++ unit test in VS 2012. The test runs fine and I can
verify that a loop with multiple cout
calls is executed.
However when I look at the test explorer the test is marked as passed
but there is no hyper link for the output as I am used to for c#
projects.
The code at the end of my test is
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
{
cout << parameters[i];
cout << endl;
}
which I can verify runs as I step through
it in the debugger. I have also tried with
cerr
but no difference.
You can use Debug::WriteLine() (in the System::Diagnostics namespace) or Console::WriteLine() to write output to the Visual Studio 2012 console.
Code for the test (note that the System::Diagnostics namespace is declared elsewhere).
The test result view.
After clicking the "Output" link:
It is not using std::cout, but hopefully this will do what you need it to do.
For me seems to work using:
Logger::WriteMessage("What ever message");
After you run the test you can see the output in the Test Explorer
window by clicking on output
I don't know that I can give you a definitive answer, but I may be able to provide a clue.
In my older code that needed to get output to the console window during a custom build step, I used the following lines:
_CrtSetReportMode(_CRT_WARN, _CRTDBG_MODE_FILE);
_CrtSetReportFile(_CRT_WARN, _CRTDBG_FILE_STDERR);
There is a description at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8hyw4sy7(v=vs.71).aspx for _CrtDbgReport.
For me, this made the output from my managed C++ show up through the build output window. Hope it can help you with Unit Testing.
