The way temporary directories were discovered from environment variables in different operating systems was inconsistent. On Windows, only the system-specific environment variable TEMP was considered, but not the bazel-common TEST_TMPDIR. On Unix, only TEST_TMPDIR was considered, but not the otherwise typical system specific TMPDIR. Now, always consider TEST_TMPDIR first, followed by the system-typical environment variable (TEMP on Windows, TMPDIR on Unix) before falling back to a default on that particular system. Also: the value for the temporary directory coming from the environment variable was only checked for a trailing directory separator on Windows (and appended if needed), not on the other platforms. Make this also consistent accross the systems: Now always apply the same logic to all of these (to accomodate tests that just concatenate TempDir() without directory separator).

Announcements
Live at Head
GoogleTest now follows the
Abseil Live at Head philosophy.
We recommend
updating to the latest commit in the main
branch as often as possible.
Documentation Updates
Our documentation is now live on GitHub Pages at https://google.github.io/googletest/. We recommend browsing the documentation on GitHub Pages rather than directly in the repository.
Release 1.11.0
Release 1.11.0 is now available.
Coming Soon
- We are planning to take a dependency on Abseil.
- More documentation improvements are planned.
Welcome to GoogleTest, 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
See the GoogleTest User's Guide for documentation. We recommend starting with the GoogleTest Primer.
More information about building GoogleTest can be found at googletest/README.md.
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.
Supported Platforms
GoogleTest requires a codebase and compiler compliant with the C++11 standard or newer.
The GoogleTest code is officially supported on the following platforms. Operating systems or tools not listed below are community-supported. For community-supported platforms, patches that do not complicate the code may be considered.
If you notice any problems on your platform, please file an issue on the GoogleTest GitHub Issue Tracker. Pull requests containing fixes are welcome!
Operating Systems
- Linux
- macOS
- Windows
Compilers
- gcc 5.0+
- clang 5.0+
- MSVC 2015+
macOS users: Xcode 9.3+ provides clang 5.0+.
Build Systems
Note: Bazel is the build system used by the team internally and in tests. CMake is supported on a best-effort basis and by the community.
Who Is Using GoogleTest?
In addition to many internal projects at Google, GoogleTest is also used by the following notable projects:
- The Chromium projects (behind the Chrome browser and Chrome OS).
- The LLVM compiler.
- Protocol Buffers, Google's data interchange format.
- The OpenCV computer vision library.
