I'm trying to set up some unit tests with QtTest and i'd like to use QFETCH.
I am testing the following function :
static std::vector<bool> FrameHandler::getBitsFromFrame(unsigned char* data, unsigned char length);
It simply converts a array of char into a vector of bits.
So, I set up my test class like this :
#include <QtTest/QtTest>
#include <vector>
#include "FrameHandler.h"
class BusTester : public QObject {
Q_OBJECT
private slots:
void bytesToVector_data() {
QTest::addColumn<unsigned char[]>("Tested");
QTest::addColumn<unsigned char>("Length");
QTest::addColumn< std::vector<bool> >("Reference");
// Test for one byte
std::vector<bool> oneByte(8, false);
oneByte[0] = true;
oneByte[1] = true;
oneByte[3] = true;
oneByte[4] = true;
unsigned char oneByteInput[1]{
0b11011000
};
QTest::newRow("One byte") << oneByteInput << 1 << oneByte;
}
void bytesToVector() {
QFETCH(unsigned char[], tested);
QFETCH(unsigned char, length);
QFETCH(std::vector<bool>, reference);
QCOMPARE(FrameHandler::getBitsFromFrame(tested, length), reference);
}
};
QTEST_MAIN(BusTester)
#include "bustester.moc"
When I do this, the compiler says :
expected unqualified-id before ‘[’ token
QFETCH(unsigned char[], tested);
And also :
On line `QTest::addColumn<unsigned char[]>("Tested");`, Type is not registered, please use the Q_DECLARE_METATYPE macro to make it known to Qt's meta-object system
I thought the two errors were linked, so i added Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(unsigned char[]);
before the class declaration, but then I get this :
In
qmetatype.h
, expected '>' before '*' token (line 1695)
Is it possible to declare unsigned char[]
to Qt's QMetaType system ?
Thanks
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE(T) Type T must be constructable, copiable and destructable. Array doesn match this rules, but you can create wrapper around.
struct Arr
{
unsigned char arr[SIZE];
};
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE( Arr );
or
typedef std::array<unsigned char, SIZE> TArr;
Q_DECLARE_METATYPE( TArr );
But there is one difficulties - SIZE, You have-to declare it
