Configure Ceedling for unit testing

I'm starting to look at using Ceedling (+Unity + CMock) for some test driven development but am having trouble getting tests that use/mock the SDK. I'm currently trying to set up unit tests for a custom ble service (an SDK equivalent would be any of the files in the components\ble\ble_services folder) that will run on my PC, not on the target. I am using Cygwin and gcc

Does anyone have any experience/guidance/project files for how to set this up?

My current yml file looks like this

I am using python to extract include paths and defines from my Keil project file and generate another yml file that I include when running ceedling e.g.

ceedling options:NRF52_S332_SDK153 test:all

this is so i can run tests for each of the targets for my project.

I'm currently stuck with errors like

../libnordic/v15.3/components/softdevice/s332/headers/ble.h: In function 'sd_ble_user_mem_reply':
../libnordic/v15.3/components/softdevice/s332/headers/nrf_svc.h:68:5: error: unknown register name 'r0' in 'asm'
     __asm(                                              \
     ^
.

I have included mock_ble.h in my test file.

#include "unity.h"

#include "ble_my_service.h"
#include "mock_ble.h"
#include "mock_ble_gap.h"


void setUp(void)
{
}

void tearDown(void)
{
}

void test_ble_my_service_NeedToImplement(void)
{
    TEST_IGNORE_MESSAGE("Need to Implement ble_my_service");
}


How can I get this going? Should this work? Am I trying to mock things at too low of a level? Am I using the right compiler tools?

  • Sorry for resurrecting an old thread.

    I have Ceedling working well for my project which uses the Nordic SDK + GCC.

    Please be sure to include all relevant defines in your project.yml. Mine looks like this:

    :defines:
      # in order to add common defines:
      #  1) remove the trailing [] from the :common: section
      #  2) add entries to the :common: section (e.g. :test: has TEST defined)
      :common: &common_defines
        - NRF52
        - NRF52832
        - UNIT_TEST
        - FREERTOS
      :test:
        - *common_defines
        - TEST
      :test_preprocess:
        - *common_defines
        - TEST
