Boost.Test Xcode formatter not working in Xcode 3.2

[Sean P. DeNigris <sean@…>]

The build result format has changed to: [file path]:[line]: {warning|error}: [whatever] e.g. /path/to/source.cpp:42: error: something bad happened!

Right now, the formatter outputs [file path]:[line]: [whatever]

The "warning: " or "error: " is missing, so the issue is not properly displayed in Xcode

Possible solution:

1. move Apple-specific code to log_entry_start e.g.:

void log_entry_start( std::ostream& output, boost::unit_test::log_entry_data const& entry_data, log_entry_types let ) {

switch( let ) {

...

case BOOST_UTL_ET_WARNING:

#ifdef APPLE_CC

output << file << ':' << line << ": warning: ";

#endif

print_prefix( output, entry_data.m_file_name, entry_data.m_line_num ); output << "warning in \"" << boost::unit_test::framework::current_test_case().p_name << "\": "; break;

case BOOST_UTL_ET_ERROR:

#ifdef APPLE_CC

output << file << ':' << line << ": error: ";

#endif

print_prefix( output, entry_data.m_file_name, entry_data.m_line_num ); output << "error in \"" << boost::unit_test::framework::current_test_case().p_name << "\": "; break;

...

I don't know what to do about "info" and "fatal error," because I don't know if there are corresponding levels in Xcode, but I'm posting the question to the Xcode users list.

sorry... above lines: output << file << ':' << line <<... should be: output << entry_data.m_file_name << ':' << entry_data.m_line_num <<...

Am I correct to understand that the only issue is absence of ':' in between error|warning and 'in' in messages. For example: file:line: error: in <test_case> ... would have worked?

[Sean P. DeNigris <sean@…>]

Yes, I think we actually want to insert "error: " and have "error" twice, as Xcode will eat the first one and keep the message intact - "file:line: error: error in <test_case>"

The only other issue is how to map info and fatal error. It seems fair to map info to warning and fatal error to error, so they would be:
file:line: warning: info from <test_case>
file:line: error: fatal error in <test_case>

New versions of Xcode do not have this feature anymore
