FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Plus/Test/FreeRTOS-Plus-TCP/Unit

Unit Tests for FreeRTOS-Plus libraries

This directory is made for the purpose of Unit testing and tries to provide the tools for developing unit tests along with a simple example. To that end, this directory submodules the CMock framework (which submodules Unity).

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You can run this on any GNU Make compatible systems. But in case of DOS based systems some tweaking is required with the makefile. To compile and run this project successfully, you must have the following:

1. Make (You can check whether you have this by typing make --version)
   • Not found? Try apt-get install make.
2. Ruby (You can check whether you have this by typing ruby --version)
   • Not found? Try apt-get install ruby.
3. Downloaded the repo with --recurse-submodules option to include CMock (and by extension Unity) in the cloned repo.
   • git clone https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS.git --recurse-submodules ./FreeRTOS_Dir

To run the Unit tests:

Go to FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Plus/Test/Unit-Tests. Most probably you are in the mentioned directory already. Run:

• make clean
• make coverage

You should see an output similar to this:

-----------------------
3 Tests 0 Failures 0 Ignored

Overall coverage rate:
  lines......: 84.8% (56 of 66 lines)
  functions..: 85.7% (12 of 14 functions)
  branches...: 50.0% (2 of 4 branches)

NOTE: after this point all directories mentioned in the README will be relative to this path: FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Plus/Test/Unit-Tests

Examples:

The examples are present in /tests/example directory. The examples are in the form of a few small '.c' and '.h' files. Open those files and have a look at all of them. These files try to show all scenarios which you might find in actual libraries (e.g. One module calling functions defined in other modules by including corresponding header files etc.). The file that tests the functions in hello_world.c file is aptly named hello_world_test.c. It includes a header file mock_some_value.h. This header is present there since we will be mocking the functions declared in the file some_value.h.

The Makefile

The makefile is used to make the development easier by doing all the backend work required to make CMock and Unity work. The Makefile has a special section which is bound by commented headings directing what is to be added in which section. Else everything should be self explanatory.
