\section inside_tests_add_units Adding unit tests
+\warning this section is outdated. New unit tests should be written
+using the unit_test_framework component of Boost. There is no such
+example so far in our codebase, but that's definitely the way to go
+for the future. STOP USING XBT.

If you want to test a specific function or set of functions, you need
a unit test. Edit the file tools/cmake/UnitTesting.cmake to
add your source file to the FILES_CONTAINING_UNITTESTS list. For

Then, you want to actually add your tests in the source file. All the
details.\n
Tesh is sometimes annoying as you have to ensure that the expected
output will always be exactly the same. In particular, your should

The script located in <project/directory>/tools/tesh/generate_tesh can
help you a lot in particular if the output is large (though a smaller output is preferable).
There are also example tesh files in the <project/directory>/tools/tesh/ directory, that can be useful to understand the tesh syntax.
- <b>Add your test in the cmake infrastructure</b>. For that, modify
- the file <project/directory>/tools/cmake/Tests.cmake. Make sure to
- pick a wise name for your test. It is often useful to check a
- category of tests together. The only way to do so in ctest is to
- use the -R argument that specifies a regular expression that the

- "ctest -R msg". That explains the importance of the test names.

Once the name is chosen, create a new test by adding a line similar to
the following (assuming that you use tesh as expected).

-We have 3 projects on Jenkins:
+We have 2 interesting projects on Jenkins:
\li <a href="https://ci.inria.fr/simgrid/job/SimGrid-Multi/">SimGrid-Multi</a>
is the main project, running the tests that we spoke about.\n It is
configured (on Jenkins) to run the script <tt>tools/jenkins/build.sh</tt>
runs the tests both under valgrind to find the memory errors and
under gcovr to report the achieved test coverage.\n It is configured
(on Jenkins) to run the script <tt>tools/jenkins/DynamicAnalysis.sh</tt>
-\li <a href="https://ci.inria.fr/simgrid/job/SimGrid-Windows/">SimGrid-Windows</a>
- is an ongoing attempt to get Windows tested on Jenkins too.
In each case, SimGrid gets built in
/builds/workspace/$PROJECT/build_mode/$CONFIG/label/$SERVER/build
interface language is English) and tick the checkbox; then add a
groovy-expression to disable a specific configuration. For example, in
order to disable the "ModelChecker" build on host
-"small-freebsd-64-clang", use:
+"small-netbsd-64-clang", use:
\verbatim
-(label=="small-freebsd-64-clang").implies(build_mode!="ModelChecker")
+(label=="small-netbsd-64-clang").implies(build_mode!="ModelChecker")
\endverbatim
\subsection inside_tests_travis Travis
configuration is in the file .travis.yml as it should be, and the
result is here: https://travis-ci.org/simgrid/simgrid
+The .travis.yml configuration file can be useful if you fail to get
+SimGrid to compile on modern mac systems. We use the \c brew package
+manager there, and it works like a charm.

\subsection inside_tests_appveyor AppVeyor
AppVeyor aims at becoming the Travis of Windows. It is maybe less
Windows. Our configuration is in the file appveyor.yml as it should
be, and the result is here: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/simgrid/simgrid
-It should be noted that I miserably failed to use the environment
-provided by AppVeyor, since SimGrid does not build with Microsoft
-Visual Studio. Instead, we download a whole development environment
-from the internet at each build. That's an archive of already compiled
-binaries that are unpacked on the appveyor systems each time we start.
-We re-use the ones from the
-<a href="https://github.com/symengine/symengine">symengine</a>
-project. Thanks to them for compiling sane tools and constituting that
-archive, it saved my mind!
+We use \c Choco as a package manager on AppVeyor, and it is sufficient
+for us. In the future, we will probably move to the ubuntu subsystem
+of Windows 10: SimGrid performs very well under these settings, but
+unfortunately we have no continuous integration service providing it
+yet, so we cannot drop AppVeyor yet.
