A simple plugin example with the Catch2 testing framework added as a submodule and setup properly in CMake.

It is setup so that the plugins folder is included in the header search path of the test folder so that including plugins/CrazyPluginHeader.hpp in your tests may be done using #include "CrazyPluginHeader.hpp"

Testing is enabled by default (this can be disabled by setting the option BUILD_WITH_TEST to OFF). This creates an executable in your builds directory called plugintest that may be run after compilation.

From the root of the repository, run

./build/plugintest

This will run the tests defined in test/main.cpp

• CMake >= 3.5
• SuperCollider source code

Clone the project:

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/madskjeldgaard/supercolliderplugin-catch2 
cd pluginwithtests
mkdir build
cd build

Then, use CMake to configure and build it:

cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build . --config Release
cmake --build . --config Release --target install

You may want to manually specify the install location in the first step to point it at your SuperCollider extensions directory: add the option -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/extensions.

It's expected that the SuperCollider repo is cloned at ../supercollider relative to this repo. If it's not: add the option -DSC_PATH=/path/to/sc/source.

Use the command in regenerate to update CMakeLists.txt when you add or remove files from the project. You don't need to run it if you only change the contents of existing files. You may need to edit the command if you add, remove, or rename plugins, to match the new plugin paths. Run the script with --help to see all available options.
