Create new Project

1. Create a repository in my ClionProjects folder
   • cd ~/ClionProjects
   • mkdir .repo
   • cd .repo
2. Clone the DownloadProject from github
   • git clone https://github.com/Crascit/DownloadProject.git
3. Create a C++ project with a src and test directory

Add following files:

CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)

project(MyProjectName)

add_subdirectory(src)
add_subdirectory(test)

src/CMakeLists.txt

#set(core_SRCS ADD ALL SOURCE FILES HERE)

add_library(core ${core_SRCS})
add_executable(exe main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(exe core)

[We compile a library so we can include it inside the Test project]

test/CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.3)

set(REPO ~/ClionProjects/.repo)

project(Test)

project(Example)

include(CTest)
enable_testing()

#set(gtest_disable_pthreads on) #needed in MinGW
include(${REPO}/DownloadProject/DownloadProject.cmake)
download_project(
        PROJ                googletest
        GIT_REPOSITORY      https://github.com/google/googletest.git
        GIT_TAG             master
        UPDATE_DISCONNECTED 1
        )

add_subdirectory(${googletest_SOURCE_DIR} ${googletest_BINARY_DIR} EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

#set(test_SRCS ADD ALL TEST SOURCE FILES HERE)
add_executable(runUnitTests gtest.cpp ${test_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(runUnitTests gtest gmock core)
#add_test(runUnitTests runUnitTests) #included in all tutorials but I don't know what it actually does.

test/gtest.cpp

#include "gtest/gtest.h"

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    ::testing::InitGoogleTest(&argc, argv);
    return RUN_ALL_TESTS();
}

Note: if you work yourself on a git Project it is better to include the DownloadProject.cmake and DownloadProjects.CmakeLists.cmake.in files inside the project.
