Hello,

I keep having trouble with Visual Assist X when I write unit tests with the BOOST_TEST framework (currently using VS 2008).

Basically, I have a simple C++ class (.h + .cpp file, nothing crazy) and VA works just fine.

I then create a separate project that tests this class. The unit test .cpp file usually looks something like this:

#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE TEST_SUITE_LIB_NETWORKLIMIT
#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>

struct Fixture ....
...

BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_SUITE(suite, Fixture)

[Tests here]

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()

Basically, VA will pretty much not work reliably at all while I'm working in the test cpp file. While it's a bit sporadic, one thing will *never* work:

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE(test4)
{
int test = 0;

if (test == 0)
....
}

If I then start typing to use that "test" variable, VA will not even recognize it. If I use it again, it will actually underline it read in the next line, as if it was not defined.

It seems as if the Boost framework / macros break something.

Any suggestions? We're running the latest public version of VA, downloaded a week ago or so.


Thanks.

Can you try telling VA to parse macro's that call macro's, as described here:
