https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3978 <p> Hi </p> <p> when using the following suggested global fixture with XML format, the final tag &lt;<a class="missing wiki">/TestLog</a>&gt; gets lost and ends up in cout instead of the file. </p> <p> I tracked the bug and suggest the following patch, which fixed the problem. (The problem is, that the global fixture is applied before the logger but is removed before the logger is finished.) </p> <p> used fixture: </p> <pre class="wiki">struct TestSuiteConfig { TestSuiteConfig() : test_log( "testresults.log" ) { boost::unit_test::unit_test_log.set_format( boost::unit_test::XML ); boost::unit_test::unit_test_log.set_stream( test_log ); } ~TestSuiteConfig() { boost::unit_test::unit_test_log.set_stream( std::cout ); } std::ofstream test_log; }; BOOST_GLOBAL_FIXTURE( TestSuiteConfig ); </pre><p> applied changes (on version 1.40, but 1.42 is still the same): </p> <pre class="wiki">Index: boost/test/impl/framework.ipp =================================================================== --- framework.ipp (revision 801) +++ framework.ipp (revision 802) @@ -445,8 +445,9 @@ } if( call_start_finish ) { - BOOST_TEST_FOREACH( test_observer*, to, s_frk_impl().m_observers ) - to-&gt;test_finish(); + for( framework_impl::observer_store::reverse_iterator to = s_frk_impl().m_observers.rbegin(); to != s_frk_impl().m_observers.rend(); ++to) + (*to)-&gt;test_finish(); } s_frk_impl().m_test_in_progress = was_in_progress; </pre> en-us /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3978 Trac 1.4.3 Steven Watanabe Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:18:49 GMT https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3978#comment:1 https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/3978#comment:1 <ul> <li><strong>status</strong> <span class="trac-field-old">new</span> → <span class="trac-field-new">closed</span> </li> <li><strong>resolution</strong> → <span class="trac-field-new">fixed</span> </li> </ul> <p> (In <a class="changeset" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/changeset/62805" title="Call test_finish/test_unit_finish in the reverse order from ...">[62805]</a>) Call test_finish/test_unit_finish in the reverse order from test_start/test_unit_start.
