goldtest

This is a quick header-only extension that provides definitions for google test for testing files generated by code against expected output gold files.

Dependencies

• googletest
• dtl diff template library

Usage

1. Place the goldtest folder in your include path.
2. Run your code that generates your test file.
3. Use the macro EXPECT_GOLD_FILE_MATCH(actual_file_location, gold_file_location) to run the test.

Note that the current state of this will not delete generated test files or move gold files to an appropriate location. See the CMakeLists.txt in the example and testing folder for an example of how to recursively find and move gold files to a particular directory for testing.
