How to send custom message in Google C++ Testing Framework?

Question

I use Google C++ Testing Framework for unit testing of my code. I use Eclipse CDT with C++ Unit testing module for output analysis.

Previously I used CppUnit it has macros family CPPUNIT*_MESSAGE that could be called like this:

CPPUNIT_ASSERT_EQUAL_MESSAGE("message",EXPECTED_VALUE,ACTUAL_VALUE)

And allows to send custom messages to test output.

Is there a way to include some custom text in google test output?

(Preferably the way that could include message to data that is read by existing programs for automated unit testing using google test.)

Answer 1

The gtest macros return a stream for outputting diagnostic messages when a test fails.

EXPECT_TRUE(false) << "diagnostic message";
