CppUTest Docker

A base Docker image for TDD development with GCC and CppUTest. Suitable for use across multiple C/C++ projects.

Contents

• GCC 14 (via the official gcc:14 base image)
• CppUTest v4.0
• CMake
• cppcheck
• clang-format, clang-tidy
• gdb, lcov
• GitHub CLI (gh)
• James Grenning's legacy-build toolkit
• autoconf, automake, libtool

Usage

Pull the image from the GitHub Container Registry:

docker pull ghcr.io/davidcozens/cpputest:latest

Run tests by mounting your project directory (containing your CMakeLists.txt or Makefile) to /home/src:

docker run -v <path>:/home/src ghcr.io/davidcozens/cpputest make

Where <path> is the fully qualified path to your project folder.

The CPPUTEST_HOME environment variable is set to /home/cpputest inside the container.

For production use and traceability, prefer a specific SHA tag over latest. Each build is tagged with the commit SHA it was built from (e.g. sha-abc1234). Available tags can be found on the package page:

docker run -v <path>:/home/src ghcr.io/davidcozens/cpputest:sha-<commit-sha> make

Building

The image is built and pushed to the GitHub Container Registry automatically on each push to the main branch.

To build locally:

docker build -t cpputest .
