Unit tests for main app

[Arthedian]

Hello,

I am using ESP32 with esp-idf. I found out, that there is possible to add unit tests for components. Is it possible to add unit tests for the main app?

It's needed for me as well

As I understood, the approach putting you logic into one monolite file is NOK, as it becomes hard-to-read.

I propose to divide your code into components, compose Kconfig files for each of components, then your code becomes unit-testable.

P.S. By the way, when I refactored my code and injected unit-tests, I managed to see and solve some unobvious bugs

FYI all,

For anyone looking for details on how to implement unit tests, refer to Espressif's examples / system / unit_test project.

For those using VS Code with the Espressif IDF extension, refer to this post for details on how to run the tests.

That example doesn't show how to test code in "main" - it doesn't seem possible.

Is it?
