Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #12507: Boost.test --report_sink parameter broken

anonymous — Mon, 10 Oct 2016 06:54:11 GMT

Boost.test 1.62.0 application also fails when parameter --log_sink is specified:

./BoostUnitTest1 --log_format=XML --log_level=all --log_sink=BoostUnitTest1.xml
Test setup error: Access with invalid type for argument corresponding to parameter log_sink

Note: the code above worked fine in boost version 1.61.

Platforms: Windows 10 & Fedora 24

Tools: mingw 5.3.0 and gcc 6.2.1

However, a workaround for --log_sink is to use --logger:

./BoostUnitTest1 --logger=XML,all,BoostUnitTest1.xml

Yes, I am really sorry for this bug. It is already fixed in a branch, but we definitely need more smoke testing on this.
