[fpc-pascal] Re: FPCUnit without Lazarus

[Sven Barth]

The unit consoletestrunner from $lazarusdir/components/fpcunit/console 
might still be useful to you, because it allows writting the testresults 
to the console. The unit has NO dependencies to the LCL, so you can 
simply copy it and compile it along with your tests. Normally you use it 
like this (I have not tested it and thus I'm just guessing based on the 
unit's code):

program mytestrunner;

uses
   consoletestrunner, // this is the unit copied from Lazarus
   testunit1, // these are your test units
   testunit2;

begin
   with TTestRunner.Create do
     try
       Run;
     finally
       Free;
     end;
end;

Your tests then register themselves to the testsuite in the 
initialization section of their unit.

Sven
