Re: [Boost-build] unit test without source

Hi Volodya,

 

I tried the generator idea - still have the same problem:

 

/opt/boost-build/build/generators.jam:951: in ensure-type from module
generators

error: target { t_compliance_filter.py. } has no type

 

The same behavior - it doesn't recognise .py files - I was getting by
simply using unit-test rule.

 

Which brings the next question - boost-build does have python.jam module
with some testing functionality specific to Python.

 

Whent I try:

 

using python : 2.5 : /usr/local/bin/python ;

testing.make-test run-pyd-output : t_compliance_filter.py ;

 

I get the following error:

 

/opt/boost-build/tools/python.jam:1153: in python.capture-output

*** argument error

* rule common.variable-setting-command ( variable : value )

* called with: ( PYTHONPATH :  )

* missing argument value

 

I suspect that (1) the rule expects at least two sources and/or (2) it
works only on Windows/Cygwin, but we use Solaris.

 

Any further ideas?

 

Regards,

Alex

No. unit-test assumes that the sources is either EXE, or something

convertible to EXE. Making unit-test run whatever is passed to it

will mess up the current behaviour.

 

However, to get what you want you can:

 

1. Just use the 'make' rule.

2. Use the following:

        

        import type ;

        import generators ;

 

        type.register UNIT_TEST_RAW : UNIT_TEST ;

        generators.register-standard testing.unit-test : : UNIT_TEST_RAW
;

        

        unit-test-raw something : script.py ;

 

(This presently assumes that "." directory is in PATH)

 

Does this help?
