Creating Tests Using Code Generate Menu

The Generate menu enables generating of standard test code constructs for the Google Test. You can generate a test stub using this menu; besides, depending on the current context AppCode provides you with a list of Google Test specific constructs:

Test fixture
SetUp method
TearDown method

To create test code constructs using the Generate menu:

Open the test file and place the caret at the desired position in the editor.

To enable the options for Google test in this menu, you need to import the ::testing::Test class into your test code. You can do it by adding the related #include directive at the very beginning of your test file:
#include "gtest/gtest.h"
Do one of the following:
- On the main menu, choose Code | Generate.
- Right click the editor and choose Generate on the context menu.
- Press ⌘N
In the Generate menu that appears, select the desired construct. Important note: When generating tests for fixtures, once you have specify a fixture name in the created template, AppCode automatically converts the inserted macro to one of the following types:
- TEST_F()
- TEST_P()
- TYPED_TEST()
- TYPED_TEST_P()
