- Refactor FileDecoratorBase to use an arbitrary property in the decorated
class where the list of files is saved
- Add DeleteFiles decorator which deletes all files passed to it after the test
finished
Pimpl class Impl is stored in raw pointers which are allocated on the heap in
the constructor. However, the constructor can throw an exception resulting in a
memory leak as the destructor is **not** invoked.
=> A smart pointer is however properly deallocated.
commands, retval, stdout & stderr are lists
if they don't have the same length, they are truncated to the smallest list
thereby silently dropping test cases
=> now a ValueError is raised preventing that
The testsuite now uses python's template module for string substitutions which
allows for a more natural substitution syntax known from the shell. Also, it
allows to run the substitutions multiple times, which is not possible with
string.format().
The heavy-lifting is now performed via a metaclass, which expands all variables
on the class creation.
We also changed the way in which we copy the DLLs to the bin folder inside the build directory.
Before we were directly placing the conan-deps DLLs into the bin folder directly. Now we place
them into a directory called conanDlls, and from there we copy them to bin or install/bin
at build and install steps respectively.
I feel more confortable doing changes in a code that I do not know by
having some unit tests around it. These characterisation tests will
also be useful as documentation.
* Restructured the file: added TOC, new sections: lens data and bug reports, and removed coding guidelines.
* Added a CODING_GUIDELINES.md file (which previously was a part of the CONTRIBUTING.md file).
