Using Google Test 1.6 (Windows 7, Visual Studio C++). How can I turn off a given test? (aka how can I prevent a test from running). Is there anything I can do besides commenting out the whole test?
Answer
The docs for Google Test 1.7 suggest:
"If you have a broken test that you cannot fix right away, you can add the DISABLED_ prefix to its name. This will exclude it from execution."
Examples:
// Tests that Foo does Abc.
TEST(FooTest, DISABLED_DoesAbc) { ... }
class DISABLED_BarTest : public ::testing::Test { ... };
// Tests that Bar does Xyz.
TEST_F(DISABLED_BarTest, DoesXyz) { ... }
