[Solved] Can we have a Hotkey "Run Project as Unit Test"?

[Modem Man]

Hi Eran,

I would like to have the UnitTest++ Plugin available in "Keyboard Shortcuts", so I can assign a key to it. Do you think, this is easily done? Can I do it by myself? Or, please, can you do it, if code changes are required?

@all:
The UnitTest++ integration is a very, very useful thing inside CodeLite, especially together with Jeff Langr's book about test driven development. The only things I'm missing are hotkeys for "just run tests" and "make Test Project, then run tests". This may be a special topic from my likings - I don't use a mouse while writing code...

Eran, I just donated 25 bucks via paypal to help you finding a positive decision
No, I'm joking! I donated because you deserve it.

Keep up the good work!

You made my day!!

Hmm (talking to myself) ... shall I think about to translate my own nightly build of CodeLite? ... could be a nice training to get familiar with Git again ...

To apply the fix on your local CodeLite installation:

1. Close CodeLite

2. Open the file:

Code: Select all

/usr/share/codelite/config/accelerators.conf.default

or:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\CodeLite\config\accelerators.conf.default

and append the following 4 lines to the bottom:

Code: Select all

unittestpp_new_simple_test|Plugins::UnitTest++|Create new test...|
unittestpp_new_class_test|Plugins::UnitTest++|Create tests for class...|
mark_project_as_ut|Plugins::UnitTest++|Mark this project as UnitTest++ project|
run_unit_tests|Plugins::UnitTest++|Run Project as UnitTest++ and report|

3. Start CodeLite
4. Go to: Settings->Keyboard Shortcuts and click on the "Defaults" button (this will tell CodeLite to reload the defaults keyboard shortcuts from the file you just edited)

You should now have 4 new entries under: keyboard shortcuts->plugins->UnitTest++

Hi Eran,

I was first a bit angry to loose my beloved keyboard settings, but then I found out, the default keyboard settings already are my favourite ones
In my setup, I assigned Ctrl+Alt F7, so I can quickly queue make (F7) and test. Nice!

Yes it works! Yippee!!

Thank you very, very much!
