A lot of programmers don’t desire this at all, until they realize how their tests might be affected by system state if/when there are files/directories/other inputs infecting their results on the test system. > Also, how are you planning to hook up GoogleTest and shunit2 to Kyua? It’s early enough on in the process of trying to figure out how things work that I cannot definitively say, other than it may end up being something like: kyua <-> googletest <-> atf or something more like: kyua <-> googletest_atf_compat and just mimic the output of ATF, while hiding the implementation details of the test suites. If that turns out to be a pain, then I’ll just implement another hook into kyua for googletest which will implement the features we need, potentially as a patch to the port, because “legal reasons” (contributor agreements shouldn’t be impediments, but because I signed an individual CLA vs corporate CLA and they aren’t equivalent) are blocking me from giving code back to Google as a Dell EMC employee (things may change, but when I fought for a corporate CLA, it got stuck in the bureaucratic quagmire that is my company’s legal/business dept).
