Does PureUnit work with modules?

[Erich]

I always get an error "Can't define a procedure inside another procedure" when I want to test a procedure from a module.

I must say I did not test this yet, but it should work as long as you keep the test procedures outside of the module (in the main scope). The test procedure should be able to call module code without problems.

Do you have some example code to show your problem?

I must say I did not test this yet, but it should work as long as you keep the test procedures outside of the module (in the main scope).

I have written several programs for testing modules with PureUnit in this way, and they all work fine.

Yes, indeed it works! Sorry, my mistake. Freak pointed me in the right direction.

Instead of this:

Code: Select all

XIncludeFile "module_unittest1.pb"
ProcedureUnitStartup start_test()

I wrote that somewhere in a larger test suite:

Code: Select all

ProcedureUnitStartup start_test()
XIncludeFile "module_unittest1.pb"

which explains the error message. The include has to be outside the test procedure.

[Little John]

The include has to be outside the test procedure.

Yes.
Including one or more procedures in another procedure will never work with PB,
regardless of whether the included procedures are inside a module or not.
