How to reproduce:
- Create a new cppUnitTestFramework (native unit test project c++)
- Turn on /clr
- Conformance mode: no (/permissive)
- Debug information Format: none
- Additional #using Directories: pointing to the bin, where the dll is located
- Make sure you make all the above changes, before compiling for the first time
Just trying to test interoperability between an EF core context (c#) and a Unit Test in C++ (in other words, a C++ unit test will access the EF context and get data from the DB)... Can't get it to work!
There are several issues/warnings/errors I encountered so far:
- C++ Language standard cannot be set above ISO C++ 17 (20 and the latest does not work. In March it is supposed to be released the new version... This means we won't get support again?)
- (Warning) "The initializer for exported data will not be run until managed code is first executed in the host assembly". Does this mean I have to first add and use the C# context.dll before I can compile the C++ Unit Test Project?
- The moment I activate the /clr and solve all issues[1], the Test Explorer no longer detects the Test Methods. So I can't debug or run them.
What am I doing wrong? I just want to leverage C# code-first database perks, on a C++ Unit Test environment, and in the future in other C++ projects/apps/game-engine!
Should I use something else? A template that is not from Microsoft?
