Improve DoubleNearPredFormat output on bad epsilons

DoubleNearPredFormat will happily accept epsilon values (abs_error) that
are so small that they are meaningless. This turns EXPECT_NEAR into a
complicated and non-obvious version of EXPECT_EQ.

This change modifies DoubleNearPredFormat) so that when there is a
failure it calculates the smallest meaningful epsilon value, given the
input values, and then prints a message which explains what happened.

If a true equality test is wanted either pass a literal 0.0 as abs_error
or use EXPECT_EQ. If a check for being almost equal is wanted consider
using EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ which, contrary to its name, verifies that the
two numbers are *almost* equal (within four ULPs).

With this change the flaky test mentioned in crbug.com/786046 gives this
output:

The difference between 4.2934311416234112e+18 and 4.2934311416234107e+18 is 512, where
4.2934311416234112e+18 evaluates to 4.2934311416234112e+18,
4.2934311416234107e+18 evaluates to 4.2934311416234107e+18.
The abs_error parameter 1.0 evaluates to 1 which is smaller than the minimum distance between doubles for numbers of this magnitude which is 512, thus making this EXPECT_NEAR check equivalent to EXPECT_EQUAL. Consider using EXPECT_DOUBLE_EQ instead.

Tested:
I confirmed that this change detects the bad epsilon value that caused
crbug.com/786046 in Chromium and added a test for the desired output.

Google Test

OSS Builds Status:

Build Status Build status

Announcements:

Release 1.10.x

Release 1.10.x is now available.

Coming Soon

Welcome to Google Test, Google's C++ test framework!

This repository is a merger of the formerly separate GoogleTest and GoogleMock projects. These were so closely related that it makes sense to maintain and release them together.

Getting started:

The information for Google Test is available in the Google Test Primer documentation.

Google Mock is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock classes. See the separate Google Mock documentation.

More detailed documentation for googletest is in its interior googletest/README.md file.

Features

  • An xUnit test framework.
  • Test discovery.
  • A rich set of assertions.
  • User-defined assertions.
  • Death tests.
  • Fatal and non-fatal failures.
  • Value-parameterized tests.
  • Type-parameterized tests.
  • Various options for running the tests.
  • XML test report generation.

Platforms

Google test has been used on a variety of platforms:

  • Linux
  • Mac OS X
  • Windows
  • Cygwin
  • MinGW
  • Windows Mobile
  • Symbian
  • PlatformIO

Who Is Using Google Test?

In addition to many internal projects at Google, Google Test is also used by the following notable projects:

GTest Runner is a Qt5 based automated test-runner and Graphical User Interface with powerful features for Windows and Linux platforms.

Google Test UI is test runner that runs your test binary, allows you to track its progress via a progress bar, and displays a list of test failures. Clicking on one shows failure text. Google Test UI is written in C#.

GTest TAP Listener is an event listener for Google Test that implements the TAP protocol for test result output. If your test runner understands TAP, you may find it useful.

gtest-parallel is a test runner that runs tests from your binary in parallel to provide significant speed-up.

GoogleTest Adapter is a VS Code extension allowing to view Google Tests in a tree view, and run/debug your tests.

C++ TestMate is a VS Code extension allowing to view Google Tests in a tree view, and run/debug your tests.

Cornichon is a small Gherkin DSL parser that generates stub code for Google Test.

Requirements

Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build and use with your projects, but there are some. If you notice any problems on your platform, please file an issue on the GoogleTest GitHub Issue Tracker.

Patches for fixing them are welcome!

Build Requirements

These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source package:

  • Bazel or CMake. NOTE: Bazel is the build system that googletest is using internally and tests against. CMake is community-supported.

  • a C++11-standard-compliant compiler

Contributing change

Please read the CONTRIBUTING.md for details on how to contribute to this project.

Happy testing!
