Code coverage analysis using CodeCoverage.cmake with multiple targets

Question

I have unit-test in my project implemented using Boost Unit Test Framework and organized into several modules, i.e.:

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Connection_test

#ifndef BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#endif

#ifndef BOOST_TEST_NO_MAIN
#define BOOST_TEST_NO_MAIN
#endif

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/test/output_test_stream.hpp>

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE Connection_test


BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(Connection_test)

    BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(Connection_construction__test) {

       ***
    }

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()

And I'm compiling every module as a single executable.

I wanted to use CodeCoverage.cmake module to run code-coverage analysis, but I ran into a problem. I'm supposed to specify a test executable by SETUP_TARGET_FOR_COVERAGE_LCOV, but I don't have only one.

Is there any way to setup multiple test executables at once with CodeCoverage.cmake?

EDIT

I've added tests by add_test() into my root CMakeLists.txt and modified my coverage target like this

include(CTest)
add_test(NAME constant_neuron_test COMMAND constant_neuron_test)
add_test(NAME binary_neuron_test COMMAND binary_neuron_test)
add_test(NAME logistic_neuron_test COMMAND logistic_neuron_test)
add_test(NAME connectionFunctionGeneral_test COMMAND connectionFunctionGeneral_test)
add_test(NAME connection_Function_identity_test COMMAND connection_Function_identity_test)
add_test(NAME neural_network_test COMMAND neural_network_test)
add_test(NAME dataset_test COMMAND dataset_test)
add_test(NAME particle_swarm_test COMMAND particle_swarm_test)
add_test(NAME particle_test COMMAND particle_test)
add_test(NAME NeuralNetworkSum_test COMMAND NeuralNetworkSum_test)
add_test(NAME errorfunction_test COMMAND errorfunction_test)
add_test(NAME DESolver_test COMMAND DESolver_test)

include(CodeCoverage.cmake)
APPEND_COVERAGE_COMPILER_FLAGS()
SETUP_TARGET_FOR_COVERAGE_LCOV(
        NAME coverage                 # New target name
        EXECUTABLE ctest -C ${ROOT_DIR}/CTestTestfile.cmake # Executable in PROJECT_BINARY_DIR
        DEPENDENCIES ${Boost_LIBRARIES}         # Dependencies to build first
)

ctest itself runs correctly:

      Start 12: DESolver_test
12/12 Test #12: DESolver_test .......................   Passed    0.05 sec

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 12

Total Test time (real) =   0.53 sec

But when I try to create my coverage report by make coverage, I get this error:

You can use ctest as the executable. It will run your unit test. – Afraid

It seems that although the argument is declared as a multivalue argument, the further processing uses the first name provided to EXECUTABLE. Maybe you can just use the SETUP_TARGET_FOR_COVERAGE_LCOV command as many times as your test executables; each coverage target will get a different name. Not sure what happens with the results, but I'd guess they get combined (haven't used this module). – Elitism

@Afraid I've tried to use ctest, as you suggested. It doesn't work so far - see my Edit, please. – Ottava

@Elitism I'm afraid they'll not get combined, as you're supposed to make one after another if I understand it correctly. – Ottava

In my project I have it EXECUTABLE ctest -j ${PROCESSOR_COUNT} and it picks two different unit test executables. – Afraid

@Afraid And how do you list your test executables? Also using add_test() ? – Ottava

@Afraid Unfortunately, mine still doesn't work... If you want to, you can have a look at Edit2 – Ottava

@Ottava have you found a solution to this issue? Im having the exact same error as you have in your "EDIT 2": No tests were found!!!; ctest runs fine. – Foolish

@Foolish Unfortunately, I didn't and I stopped that project quite a while ago. – Ottava

@Ottava I have managed to build a working setup. I posted it as an answer; – Foolish

@Foolish Good job! ;) – Ottava

Answer 1

I have managed to get a working setup that:

1. Compiles debug and release code with different compiler flags
2. Runs tests
3. Creates code coverage and branch coverage html report

Usage

Build debug:

cd mhcl/build/debug && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../.. && make && make coverage

Your coverage report is under mhcl/build/debug/coverage/index.html

Build release:

cd mhcl/build/release && cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../.. && make

Answer 2

I had this problem too and struggled for quite awhile to find a solution. For me the fix was to move this CMake code above any other targets that are defined:

include(CodeCoverage.cmake)
APPEND_COVERAGE_COMPILER_FLAGS()

It looks like if it the targets are defined first then the compiler flags are not updated.

Answer 3

Ok, I tried to reproduce a minimal set of your setup.

I have:

.
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── CodeCoverage.cmake
├── test1.cpp
└── test2.cpp

Where CodeCoverage.cmake comes from https://github.com/bilke/cmake-modules/blob/master/CodeCoverage.cmake

CMakeLists.txt is:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
find_package(Boost COMPONENTS system filesystem unit_test_framework REQUIRED)
include(CTest)
enable_testing()

add_executable(test1_test test1.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test1_test 
                      ${Boost_FILESYSTEM_LIBRARY}
                      ${Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY}
                      ${Boost_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_LIBRARY})
add_executable(test2_test test2.cpp)
target_link_libraries(test2_test
                      ${Boost_FILESYSTEM_LIBRARY}
                      ${Boost_SYSTEM_LIBRARY}
                      ${Boost_UNIT_TEST_FRAMEWORK_LIBRARY})

add_test(NAME test1_test COMMAND test1_test)
add_test(NAME test2_test COMMAND test2_test)

include(CodeCoverage.cmake)
APPEND_COVERAGE_COMPILER_FLAGS()
SETUP_TARGET_FOR_COVERAGE_LCOV(
        NAME coverage                 
        EXECUTABLE ctest -j ${n_cores} # Executable in PROJECT_BINARY_DIR
        DEPENDENCIES
            test1_test
            test2_test)

And test1.cpp (and test2.cpp) are

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE test1

#ifndef BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#endif

#define BOOST_TEST_MAIN

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
#include <boost/test/output_test_stream.hpp>

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE test1


BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(test1)

    BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test1__test) {
        BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(1, 1);
    }

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()

Now I do:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

the output is:

Afraid

Thank you very much! I have no idea, why my code still doesn't work, when it's basically the same as this one. Would you mind to look at my code ([email protected]:bes0030/4Neuro.git, branch coverage, basic compilation with build.sh) ? I'm curious if it will run on your computer. – Ottava

In CMake the order of your statements matters, and the order you should place them is not always straightforward. In case someone else still needs an answer to this, try this at the beginning of your root CMakeLists.txt, after the definition of your compiler properties. For example:

include(CTest)
enable_testing()
set(CMAKE_MODULE_PATH ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH} "${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/cmake")

include(CodeCoverage)
append_coverage_compiler_flags()
setup_target_for_coverage_gcovr_html(
    NAME coverage
    EXECUTABLE test_basics
    DEPENDENCIES test_basics mysqrt
)

Assumes your CodeCoverage.cmake lives under the cmake directory in your project. To generate a test coverage report:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Debug
make coverage

Your report will be available under ./coverage/index.html.
