DUnitX is a new test framework, taking ideas from DUnit, NUnit and other test frameworks. It is designed to work with Delphi 2010 or later, it makes use of language/RTL features that are not available in older versions of Delphi.
- Any class can contain tests
- Attribute based testing
- An extensive Assert Class
- Setup and TearDown per test method and per test fixture.
- API Documented using Xml-Doc
- Console Based Runner
- XML Logging
- produces output compatible with NUnit (compatible with CI servers like ContinuaCI)
- produces output compatible with JUnit (compatible with Gitlab CI)
- Cross platform currently supporting:
- Win32,Win64 and OSX Compilers.
- Limited backwards compatibility with DUnit test classes.
- Wizard for creating new tests.
This is far from a complete list, but a few planned features are listed here to help indicate future direction.
GUI Test Runner- Use TestInsight- Multi-threaded tests - the ability to have test fixtures run in their own threads.
- Remote logging - Simple way to run tests on remote machines (just an idea at this point)
- Data driven test cases - the ability to provide a test method with a data source and test each entry in the data source. The data source will be virtualised so it can be anything (text file, db table etc).
- In order to workaround the Delphi XE3 Bug, you need to add the unit DUnitX.Init to your test projects.
- To use this GitHub version of DUnitX in place of the bundled version included with RAD Studio, it’s pretty simple by following these steps (as the bundled version is quite a few commits behind this repo):
- Remove the Embarcadero Unit test package (DUnitXIDEExpertXXX.bpl) from the installed packages list.
- In the cloned repo, open DUnitX_IDE_Expert_XXXX.dproj (matching your Delphi version), compile and install the package.
- In your unit test projects, adjust your search paths to point to the repo\Source folder.
A Delphi Praxis Forum has been setup to discuss DUnitX.
