Using Ceedling inside of a project

Ceedling can deploy all of its guts into a folder. This allows it to be used without having to worry about external dependencies.

ceedling new [your new project name]

Using Ceedling outside of a project as a gem

(Note: This is still somewhat experimental.)

Ceedling can also be used as a gem. The following Rakefile is the bare minimum required in order to use Ceedling this way:

require 'ceedling'

Additionally, a project.yml is required. Here is one to get you started:

---
:project:
  :use_exceptions: FALSE
  :use_test_preprocessor: TRUE
  :use_auxiliary_dependencies: TRUE
  :build_root: build
#  :release_build: TRUE
  :test_file_prefix: test_

#:release_build:
#  :output: MyApp.out
#  :use_assembly: FALSE

:environment:

:extension:
  :executable: .out

:paths:
  :test:
    - +:test/**
    - -:test/support
  :source:
    - src/**
  :support:
    - test/support

:defines:
  # in order to add common defines:
  #  1) remove the trailing [] from the :common: section
  #  2) add entries to the :common: section (e.g. :test: has TEST defined)
  :commmon: &common_defines []
  :test:
    - *common_defines
    - TEST
  :test_preprocess:
    - *common_defines
    - TEST

:cmock:
  :when_no_prototypes: :warn
  :enforce_strict_ordering: TRUE
  :plugins:
    - :ignore
  :treat_as:
    uint8:    HEX8
    uint16:   HEX16
    uint32:   UINT32
    int8:     INT8
    bool:     UINT8

#:tools:
# Ceedling defaults to using gcc for compiling, linking, etc.
# As [:tools] is blank, gcc will be used (so long as it's in your system path)
# See documentation to configure a given toolchain for use

:plugins:
  :load_paths:
    # This is required to use builtin ceedling plugins
    - "#{builtin_ceedling_plugins_path}"
    # Uncomment this and create the directory in order to use your own 
    # custom ceedling plugins
    # - ceedling_plugins
  :enabled:
    # These two plugins ship with Ceedling.
    - stdout_pretty_tests_report
    - module_generator
...

Finally, you'll need to create something like the following directory structure. This one matches the project.yml defined above:

./test
./test/support
./src
./project.yml
./Rakefile
./build
