Cross compiled executable not supported

[dwjbosman]

Checklist

Describe the bug

I have installed a cross compiler for Raspberry Pi (ARM). I am able to compile an executable including Catch2 support.

Testmate won't discover tests. There is an error message "Error: Not a supported test executable"

• I can execute the program using qemu-arm-static and see the Catch2 test report
• If I change the compiler to a standard x86 gcc, the tests are discovered.

Desktop

Extension Version: 3.2.12
VS Code Version: 1.47.1
Catch2 / Google Test / DOCTest Version: Catch2 v2.13.0-1-g229cc482
OS Type and Version: Windows 10
Using remote-ssh/docker/wsl?: docker on wsl2

Please check this: and let me know if that helped you or not: #201

[dwjbosman]

I checked the issue #201
Running from the command line

qemu-arm-static imaxi2_test "[.],*" --verbosity high --list-tests --use-colour no

Matching test cases:
  Encode Function
  firmwares/raspberry/raspberry-firmware/main.cpp:12
    (NO DESCRIPTION)
      [encode]
1 matching test case

In the issue there is a mention that the way the libraries are linked can be a problem. In my case the executable is statically linked.

[matepek]

I guess the following is not working.

imaxi2_test "[.],*" --verbosity high --list-tests --use-colour no

do you see the problem?
You're using an emulator to run your arm executables.

[dwjbosman]

Ah, of course,

I need to take more breakes...

Is it possible to configure the plugin so that it would include a call to the emulator?

[matepek]

Not yet, but I will implement it. It seems a good feature.

Check testMate.advancedExecutables.executionWrapper. It is intended to solve your issue
