Unit Test question: BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE and high logging levels
Folks, I just noticed something: a unit test with something like this BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE ( true, "this should never be seen" ); will, of course, be silent when run... unless you've got the logging turned all the way up. When run with --log_level=all --report_level=detailed this turns up in the output: ./../util/unitTest/test_auto.C(32): info: this should never be seen Is this intentional? It is suprising to me... if the message in the check says something about "failing" or "errors", the output appears to be signaling a unit test failure when really it isn't. Am I missing something?

Folks,
I just noticed something: a unit test with something like this
BOOST_CHECK_MESSAGE ( true, "this should never be seen" );
will, of course, be silent when run... unless you've got the logging turned all the way up. When run with
--log_level=all --report_level=detailed
this turns up in the output:
./../util/unitTest/test_auto.C(32): info: this should never be seen
Is this intentional? It is suprising to me... if the message in the check says something about "failing" or "errors", the output appears to be signaling a unit test failure when really it isn't.
With latest CVS HEAD software the message would look like:
./../util/unitTest/test_auto.C(32): info: check 'this should never be seen' passed
And yes - it is intentional. log_level=all mean that all assertions including those that passed are logged. Gennadiy

OK. Thanks. I'll turn the logging level down a little. The library is turning out to be very useful, BTW. Thanks very much. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Steffen, Ph.D. "Irrationality is the square root of all evil" Software Engineer IV -- Douglas Hofstadter Numerica Corporation ph (970) 419-8343 x27 "Oppernockity tunes but once." -- anon. fax (970) 223-6797 dgsteffen@numerica.us ___________________ Numerica Disclaimer: This message and any attachments are intended only for the individual or entity to which the message is addressed.
