Gtest not working on pio 4.1

1

Hi

I have had a running googletest unit test running on platformio 4.0.3.
After the upgrade to 4.1 it is not working anymore. I get the following message:

pio test -e native -f native_FSMachine --verbose
Verbose mode can be enabled via `-v, --verbose` option
Collected 5 items

*** [.pio/build/native/test/native_FSMachine/main.o] Error 1

the platformio.ini has the following settings for this environment:

[env:native]
platform = native
lib_deps =
  googletest@1.8.1
lib_ignore =
  NetworkClient
build_flags =
  -std=c++11
lib_archive = false
test_ignore = embedded*

any idea how to fix?

any help appreciated.
cheers

Could you provide a simple project to reproduce this issue?

Hi

sure:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tg75ytyo6aso6wr/gtest.zip?dl=0
created with pio 4.1
just run: pio test

Hi

not sure what is the diff in checking for includes and libs between 4.0.3 and 4.1.

thx

did some output using -v.

with 4.0.3 looks like this:

there is a difference when doing the same on 4.1:

using 4.1 it is not finding any lib and therefore the dependency tree is empty.

did even some more investigations on 4.1:

added the googletest lib_deps to the board envirnment lolin32.

[env:lolin32]
platform = espressif32
lib_deps =
  googletest
board = lolin32
framework = arduino

I now observe two changes on 4.1 when running it on lolin32 and not the native level (native still failing):

  • google test is included and found as dependency
  • I’m not limited to 1.8.1 anymore, but as well the current version 1.10.0 is working fine (this was another problem not yet brought up)

could it be that the native@1.1.1 has some problems to run with 4.1?

in the meantime native @ 1.1.2 is out, but no change on windows or osx.

Hi @jipp! I’d say that is expected behavior because for some reason only Arduino framework is specified in the library manifest. Try adding lib_compat_mode = off option to your [env:native] and it should work.

Hi

you are right with your tip. It works now (tested on windows so far). But I’m not sure how you figured this out. Looking at the history above I see with 4.0.3 it was working with also with lib_compat_mode = soft.
In the manifest I see "frameworks": "arduino".

nevertheless thanks a lot :slight_smile:
