What problem does it solve?

Setting up the doctest single-header framework in CMake C++ projects can be verbose; this skill guides a clean pattern to enable tests colocated with implementation code, reducing boilerplate and keeping tests nearby.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Colocated tests: Write tests in test_main.cpp alongside source files.
  • Doctest header integration: Use the header-only doctest library in your project structure.
  • CMake integration: Create a separate tests target that mirrors the main executable while keeping test code disabled in the app.

Quick Start

Create test_main.cpp with DOCTEST_CONFIG_IMPLEMENT_WITH_MAIN and include doctest/doctest.h, then add a tests target in CMake alongside your main app.
