YTC (a Yaml Template Class example) is an yaml-cpp example project. The main goal of this project is to show a possible strategy to convert user data types using yaml-cpp.

This project build with following tools:

• C++ version: C++17
• C++ compiler: Gcc, Clang and Apple Clang
• Source: multiple files
• Package manager: Conan
• Build system: CMake
• Libraries: STL, yaml-cpp
• Code coverage report: lcov
• Testing framework: Google Tests
• CI: GitHub Actions

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

To build YTC you need the following requirements:

• A C++ compiler such as Gcc >= 7.0.0, Clang >= 5.0.0 or Apple Clang >= 10.0.0
• CMake 3.11 or later
• Conan decentralized package manager with a client-server architecture

To enable test coverage reports you need the following requirements:

• lcov
• genhtml

For project dependencies list see conanfile.txt bundled with this project.

If you're using Ubuntu, you can install the required packages this way:

sudo apt install gcc cmake build-essential

On macOS you most likely have a compiler so you'll need only cmake:

brew install cmake

Please note that specific versions of libraries and programs at the time of reading this guide may vary. The following dependencies is recommended install using pip:

• conan

They can be installed using pip as follows:

pip install -r requirements.txt

First you'll need clone the project and fetch its modules:

git clone https://github.com/sergeyklay/ytc cd ytc

Then build project as follows:

cmake -H. -Bbuild -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug cmake --build build

Tests expect YTC_TESTS_ROOT environment variable to use fixtures. This variable should point to the tests directory root. Set this variable and run the tests as follows:

export YTC_TESTS_ROOT=$(pwd)/tests cmake --build build --target check

Follow these steps:

1. Configure with code coverage instrumentation enabled -DCODE_COVERAGE=ON
2. Build project
3. Execute the tests to generate the coverage data
4. Generate and customize reports as follows:

# Create lcov report lcov --directory build --capture --output-file ./build/coverage.info # Filter out extra files lcov \ --remove ./build/coverage.info \ '/usr/*' \ "${HOME}"'/.conan/*' \ '*/tests/*' \ --output-file ./build/coverage.info # Output coverage data for debugging (Optional) lcov --list ./build/coverage.info # Create a directory to store HTML report  mkdir ./build/coverage # Generate HTML report genhtml ./build/coverage.info --output-directory ./build/coverage
