pas2ut - Man Page

pas2ut [options] inputfile [outputfile]

pas2ut Scans the input file for classes and routines, and creates a testcase for all classes and routines found in the interface section of the file.  It can generate a unit or an include file. All tests are created with a  standard fail message. By default, only tests for public, published   and default visibility members of classes are generated.

pas2ut takes the following options at this time:

--defaultclasstest=list  

Specify a comma-separated list of default tests for each class.  The elements in the list must be valid pascal identifiers.

--failmessage=Msg        

Set the message for the Fail() statement inside each test method.

--limit=list

Specify a comma-separated list of global identifiers for which to generate tests. By default, tests are generated for all global identifiers in the interface section of a unit.

--prefix=name            

Set the prefix for the test names (default is Test ). A test is named after the identifier it tests, with this prefix.

--singletestclass

Use a single test class for each class found. The default is to create a testcase class per class in the input unit.

--skip-classes          

Do not generate test code for classes, only for functions and procedures.

--skip-declaration      

Do not generate declarations for the tests, only implementations.

--skip-default          

skip tests for default visibility members. By default, they are generated, together with Public or published members.

--skip-fail              

Do not create fail() statements in test routine implementations.

--skip-fields            

Do not generate testcases for fields of classes (only for methods and properties).

--skip-functions        

Do not generate tests for functions/procedures, only for classes.

--skip-implementation    

Do not generate (empty) implementation for the tests, only a class declaration is generated. (it can be completed in an IDE such as Lazarus or MSIDE)

--skip-methods

Do not generate tests for methods of classes, only for fields and properties.

--skip-properties        

Do not generate tests for properties of classes, only for fields and methods.

--skip-property-default  

Do not generate a default test for each property.

--skip-public

Skip tests for public members, only protected members will be tested if --test-protected is in effect.

--skip-published        

Do not generate tests for published members, only public and default members will be tested.

--skip-register          

Do not generate RegisterTests statement.

--skip-setup            

Do not override the TTestCase.Setup() method in the generated class.

--skip-teardown

Do not override the TTestCase.TearDown() method in the generated class.

--skip-unit

Do not generate a unit, just an include file.

--testparentname=name    

Set the name of the parent class for generated test classes. The default is TTestCase this can be used to set another class name.

--test-property-bounds  

Generate a GetBounds test for each property.

--test-property-maxlen

Generate a MaxLen test for each property.

--test-property-notify  

Generate a Notify test for each property.

--test-property-required

Generate a Required test for each property.

--test-protected        

Also generate tests for protected class members. By default, tests are only generated for public, published and default visibility members.

--testunitname=name      

Set the name of the generated unit (default is taken from output file name)

--tiopf

Create tiopf tests  (this is the same as specifying --default,--bounds,--required,--notify and --maxlen tests.)

--unittestclassname=name

Set the global unit test class name. To be used with --singletestclass.

The --limit and --defaultclasstest may be specified multiple times.
