Hi,

I noticed there is a fpcunit IDE add-on package include with Lazarus. Unfortunately it is extremely basic in functionality - it can only create a new empty test unit.

Does anybody know of an add-on package that actually allows you to select a class, tick (select) which properties to test, and then in generates a test class and implements skeleton test methods for all those selected properties? I believe (I could be wrong) this is how Delphi's DUnit integration works too.

Something like that will be a huge time-saver I think.

Yup, Delphi does exactly that. Pretty neat!
See the video (it will start at the correct time frame).

See the 3.0.0 RC1 pas2ut : "pas 2 unit test"

it's in svn under utils.

I didn't manage to integrate it in lazarus yet.

Fantastic, I'll take a look now.

If nobody has a unit test solution like Delphi does, I thought I creating it myself. It will take a bit of time though - got to learn the IDE internals again as I haven't written a add-on for Lazarus in ages.

In the mean time I was considering opening the units with Delphi, just to see if it will generate the test cases for me. Save me tons of time - if it works. :)

Don't hesitate to ask.

FPC has all you could ever need ;)

If you need help writing the IDE add-on, Mattias or me will be glad to help.
