catch3/tests/SelfTest/UsageTests/Skip.tests.cpp, branch build/cpp17 Progmasoft Catch3: an independently maintained C++17 test framework with a parallel runner, property checks, snapshots and structured results. Give Catch3 its own build names and headers 2026-10-24T23:37:35+00:00 Leitwolf11 2026-10-24T23:37:35+00:00 126dc333564cb72b5115d9a9242d66694694b6d0 Catch2 compatibility means the API tests are written in: the macros, such as TEST_CASE and REQUIRE, and the Catch:: namespace. It does not mean Catch2's build names or header paths. find_package(Catch2) found Catch3, and a project using both frameworks met two packages, two sets of targets, two Catch.cmake modules and two catch2/ header trees with the same names. Build names: - CMake: project and package Catch3, targets Catch3::Catch3 and Catch3::Catch3WithMain, libraries Catch3 and Catch3Main, options CATCH3_*, lib/cmake/Catch3 with Catch3Config, and pkg-config catch3 and catch3-with-main. The version is Catch3's, 0.3.0, compatible within a minor version. - The CMake scripts are Catch3.cmake (catch3_discover_tests), Catch3AddTests.cmake and Catch3ShardTests.cmake (catch3_add_sharded_tests); the helpers they define at ctest time have a catch3_ prefix. ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake, deprecated upstream, is gone. - Bazel //:catch3 and //:catch3_main, Meson catch3 and catch3-with-main (with override_dependency), Xmake catch3 and catch3_main, Premake Catch3 and Catch3WithMain. Visual Studio projects get GUIDs of their own. - The Progmasoft::Catch3 target and package are gone: property testing and snapshots are part of Catch3::Catch3. Their sources now build with the library's warning flags, so property failures are built field by field (no missing initializers) and the default property name is a thread-local pointer to the name its scope owns (no global destructor). Headers: the engine moved from src/catch2 to src/Progmasoft/Catch3 with Progmasoft names, so <catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp> is <Progmasoft/Catch3/TestMacros.hpp>, <catch2/matchers/catch_matchers_string.hpp> is <Progmasoft/Catch3/Matchers/String.hpp>, and interface headers are named after their interface, such as Interfaces/IConfig.hpp. Include guards became #pragma once. The installed headers go to include/Progmasoft. src/Progmasoft/Context.cpp is StrategyContext.cpp, so no two sources share a file name. tools/scripts/upstreamFiles.txt lists the files that come from Catch2. The license check expects BSL-1.0 on them and Progmasoft's header on the rest of src/Progmasoft; the convenience-header check, the amalgamation script and the surrogate tests take the engine's headers from it. The amalgamated files are regenerated. The header-guard workflow checks for #pragma once instead of checkguard. Documents, the README and the release notes describe the new names. 
Catch2 compatibility means the API tests are written in: the macros, such
as TEST_CASE and REQUIRE, and the Catch:: namespace. It does not mean
Catch2's build names or header paths. find_package(Catch2) found Catch3,
and a project using both frameworks met two packages, two sets of targets,
two Catch.cmake modules and two catch2/ header trees with the same names.

Build names:
- CMake: project and package Catch3, targets Catch3::Catch3 and
  Catch3::Catch3WithMain, libraries Catch3 and Catch3Main, options
  CATCH3_*, lib/cmake/Catch3 with Catch3Config, and pkg-config catch3 and
  catch3-with-main. The version is Catch3's, 0.3.0, compatible within a
  minor version.
- The CMake scripts are Catch3.cmake (catch3_discover_tests),
  Catch3AddTests.cmake and Catch3ShardTests.cmake
  (catch3_add_sharded_tests); the helpers they define at ctest time have a
  catch3_ prefix. ParseAndAddCatchTests.cmake, deprecated upstream, is gone.
- Bazel //:catch3 and //:catch3_main, Meson catch3 and catch3-with-main
  (with override_dependency), Xmake catch3 and catch3_main, Premake Catch3
  and Catch3WithMain. Visual Studio projects get GUIDs of their own.
- The Progmasoft::Catch3 target and package are gone: property testing
  and snapshots are part of Catch3::Catch3. Their sources now build with
  the library's warning flags, so property failures are built field by
  field (no missing initializers) and the default property name is a
  thread-local pointer to the name its scope owns (no global destructor).

Headers: the engine moved from src/catch2 to src/Progmasoft/Catch3 with
Progmasoft names, so <catch2/catch_test_macros.hpp> is
<Progmasoft/Catch3/TestMacros.hpp>, <catch2/matchers/catch_matchers_string.hpp>
is <Progmasoft/Catch3/Matchers/String.hpp>, and interface headers are named
after their interface, such as Interfaces/IConfig.hpp. Include guards
became #pragma once. The installed headers go to include/Progmasoft.
src/Progmasoft/Context.cpp is StrategyContext.cpp, so no two sources share
a file name.

tools/scripts/upstreamFiles.txt lists the files that come from Catch2.
The license check expects BSL-1.0 on them and Progmasoft's header on the
rest of src/Progmasoft; the convenience-header check, the amalgamation
script and the surrogate tests take the engine's headers from it. The
amalgamated files are regenerated. The header-guard workflow checks for
#pragma once instead of checkguard.

Documents, the README and the release notes describe the new names.

* Add new SKIP macro for skipping tests at runtime

This adds a new `SKIP` macro for dynamically skipping tests at runtime.
The "skipped" status of a test case is treated as a first-class citizen,
like "succeeded" or "failed", and is reported with a new color on the
console.

* Don't show "skipped assertions" in console/compact reporters

Also extend skip tests to cover a few more use cases.

* Return exit code 4 if all test cases are skipped

* Use LightGrey for the skip colour

This isn't great, but is better than the deep blue that was borderline
invisible on dark backgrounds. The fix is to redo the colouring
a bit, including introducing light-blue that is actually visible.

* Add support for explicit skips in all reporters

* --allow-running-no-tests also allows all tests to be skipped

* Add docs for SKIP macro, deprecate IEventListener::skipTest
