How to run two different tests in Googletest

c++, googletest, visual-c++, visual-studio-2010

Solution

I don't think you can do this using `::testing::GTEST_FLAG(repeat)`

However, you could achieve your goal with something like:

#include "gtest/gtest.h"

int RunTests(int iteration) {
  switch(iteration) {
    case 1:  ::testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "*first*:*second*"; break;
    case 2:  ::testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "*third*:*fourth*"; break;
    default: ::testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "*";
  }
  return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  ::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
  int final_result(0);
  for (int i(0); i < 3; ++i) {
    int result(RunTests(i));
    if (result != 0)
      final_result = result;
  }
  return final_result;
}

I'm not sure how gtest calculates the return value of `RUN_ALL_TESTS()` when `GTEST_FLAG(repeat)` is used, but here `main` will return `0` if all tests pass, otherwise it will return the last non-zero value of the `RUN_ALL_TESTS()` invocations.

Problem

Suppose I have two/many different tests need to be carried out in gtest in two iteration. So, how to carryout the same? I tried my approch but it fails. I wrote, ``` ::testing::GTEST_FLAG(repeat) = 2; //may be 2 or 3 or so on... switch(i) //int i = 1; { case 1: ::testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "*first*:*second*"; i++; break; case 2: ::testing::GTEST_FLAG(filter) = "*third*:*fourth*"; i++; break; and so on............ ``` But Google test is taking only the `"*first*:*second*"` and runs two times. Please help me. My reqiurement is Gtest should run all the test cases one by one. e.g first it will execute `case 1:` then `case 2:` and so on...
