NAME

       pas2ut - The Free Pascal unit to unit test case conversion tool.

SYNOPSIS

       pas2ut [options] inputfile [outputfile]

DESCRIPTION

       pas2ut  Scans  the  input  file  for  classes and routines, and creates a testcase for all
       classes and routines found in the interface section of the file.  It can generate  a  unit
       or  an  include file. All tests are created with a standard fail message. By default, only
       tests for public, published and default visibility members of classes are generated.

USAGE

       pas2ut takes the following options at this time:

       --defaultclasstest=list
              Specify a comma-separated list of default tests for each class.   The  elements  in
              the list must be valid pascal identifiers.

       --failmessage=Msg
              Set the message for the Fail() statement inside each test method.

       --limit=list
              Specify  a  comma-separated list of global identifiers for which to generate tests.
              By default, tests are generated for all global identifiers in the interface section
              of a unit.

       --prefix=name
              Set  the  prefix  for  the test names (default is Test ). A test is named after the
              identifier it tests, with this prefix.

       --singletestclass
              Use a single test class for each class found.  The default is to create a  testcase
              class per class in the input unit.

       --skip-classes
              Do not generate test code for classes, only for functions and procedures.

       --skip-declaration
              Do not generate declarations for the tests, only implementations.

       --skip-default
              skip  tests  for  default  visibility  members.   By  default,  they are generated,
              together with Public or published members.

       --skip-fail
              Do not create fail() statements in test routine implementations.

       --skip-fields
              Do not generate testcases for fields of classes (only for methods and properties).

       --skip-functions
              Do not generate tests for functions/procedures, only for classes.

       --skip-implementation
              Do not generate (empty) implementation for the tests, only a class  declaration  is
              generated.  (it can be completed in an IDE such as Lazarus or MSIDE)

       --skip-methods
              Do not generate tests for methods of classes, only for fields and properties.

       --skip-properties
              Do not generate tests for properties of classes, only for fields and methods.

       --skip-property-default
              Do not generate a default test for each property.

       --skip-public
              Skip   tests  for  public  members,  only  protected  members  will  be  tested  if
              --test-protected is in effect.

       --skip-published
              Do not generate tests for published members, only public and default  members  will
              be tested.

       --skip-register
              Do not generate RegisterTests statement.

       --skip-setup
              Do not override the TTestCase.Setup() method in the generated class.

       --skip-teardown
              Do not override the TTestCase.TearDown() method in the generated class.

       --skip-unit
              Do not generate a unit, just an include file.

       --testparentname=name
              Set  the  name  of  the  parent  class  for  generated test classes. The default is
              TTestCase  this can be used to set another class name.

       --test-property-bounds
              Generate a GetBounds test for each property.

       --test-property-maxlen
              Generate a MaxLen test for each property.

       --test-property-notify
              Generate a Notify test for each property.

       --test-property-required
              Generate a Required test for each property.

       --test-protected
              Also generate tests for protected  class  members.   By  default,  tests  are  only
              generated for public, published and default visibility members.

       --testunitname=name
              Set the name of the generated unit (default is taken from output file name)

       --tiopf
              Create     tiopf     tests      (this     is     the     same     as     specifying
              --default,--bounds,--required,--notify and --maxlen tests.)

       --unittestclassname=name
              Set the global unit test class name. To be used with --singletestclass.
       The --limit and --defaultclasstest may be specified multiple times.
