GEOS Testing

Build locations

Paths are given relative to GEOS root. Note some executables have different names.

CMake

• Executables are in build directory (usually ../build)
  • ../build/bin/test_geos_unit
  • ../build/bin/test_xmltester

Unit tests

bin/test_geos_unit [name] [test number]

The test name is the tut group name found in the unit test file on a line begining group (e.g. like this.

Run all unit tests

bin/test_geos_unit

Run single unit test class

bin/test_geos_unit capi::GEOSNode

Run single test within unit test class

bin/test_geos_unit capi::GEOSNode 1

XML Tests

xmltester [options] test-file ...

Options

• -v - show test case summary with time
• -v -v - show test case info including dump of geometry

CMake - Run test file

bin/test_xmltester ../geos/tests/xmltester/tests/general/TestBoundary.xml

Adding New Tests

• In order for new unit tests to be picked up by the test harness, they must be named using the name pattern "*Test.cpp".
• In order for new XML tests to be picked up, they must reside in a directory under the xmltester/ directory and have a .xml file suffix.
