Description

The ToStandardOutput class creates an output stream to display text output to the screen. Many plugins that accept an output stream use ToStandardOutput as their default stream.

Construction

matlab.unittest.plugins.ToStandardOutput creates an OutputStream that prints text output to the screen.

Examples

In your working folder, create the file ExampleTest.m containing the following test class.

classdef ExampleTest < matlab.unittest.TestCase
    methods(Test)
        function testOne(testCase)  % Test fails
            testCase.verifyEqual(5, 4, 'Testing 5==4')
        end
        function testTwo(testCase)  % Test passes
            testCase.verifyEqual(5, 5, 'Testing 5==5')
        end
        function testThree(testCase)
            % test code
        end
    end
end

The verifyEqual qualification in testOne causes a test failure. The qualifications in testOne and testTwo include an instance of a matlab.unittest.diagnostics.StringDiagnostic.

At the command prompt, create a test suite from the ExampleTest class.

import matlab.unittest.TestRunner
import matlab.unittest.TestSuite
import matlab.unittest.plugins.DiagnosticsOutputPlugin
import matlab.unittest.plugins.ToStandardOutput

suite   = TestSuite.fromClass(?ExampleTest);

Create a test runner with no plugins. This code creates a silent runner and provides you with complete control over the installed plugins.

runner = TestRunner.withNoPlugins;

Create a DiagnosticsOutputPlugin that explicitly specifies that its output should go to the screen.

plugin = DiagnosticsOutputPlugin(ToStandardOutput);

Add the plugin to the TestRunner and run the suite. 

runner.addPlugin(plugin)
result = runner.run(suite);
