GoogleTest: Mock object should be deleted but never is.

[henrik2016]

Hi,
it's the first time to work with GoogleTest. I created a few Mock-Objects, but I don't know how I can delete it.

Error message for each (19) Mock-Object in opcNodeList is: Mock object should be deleted but never is.
Last error message: ERROR: 19 leaked mock objects found at program exit.

Any ideas?

class TestOpcUa : public Test
{
public:
    TestOpcUa() 
    {
        _selectedConfValid = new MockOpcConf();
        ON_CALL(*_selectedConfValid, getSERVERNAME()).WillByDefault(Return(END_POINT_VALID));
        ON_CALL(*_selectedConfValid, getOpcNodeList()).
            WillByDefault(Invoke( [] ()
            {
                OpcNodeList* opcNodeList = new OpcNodeList();
                shared_ptr<MockOpcNode> deviceNo = make_shared<MockOpcNode>();
                ON_CALL(*deviceNo, getDISPLAY_NAME()).WillByDefault(Return("DeviceNo"));
                ON_CALL(*deviceNo, getDATATYPEID()).WillByDefault(Return(4));
                ON_CALL(*deviceNo, getPARENTNODE()).WillByDefault(Return("ns=2;s=TestChannel.SPS.DB115"));
                ON_CALL(*deviceNo, getCHILDNODE()).WillByDefault(Return("ns=2;s=DBW0"));
                opcNodeList->push_back(deviceNo);
                //...push_back more Mock-Objects
                return opcNodeList;
            }));
        _opcUaObjectValid = new OpcUa(_selectedConfValid);
    }
    ~TestOpcUa() 
    {
        delete _selectedConfValid;
        delete _opcUaObjectValid;
    }
protected:
        MockOpcConf* _selectedConfValid = nullptr;
        OpcUa* _opcUaObjectValid = nullptr;
}

TEST_F(TestOpcUa, firstTest)
{
    //......Tests are valid
}

Hi,

Why are you creating that object on the heap rather than the stack ?

@SGaist I have edited my post.

@henrik2016 said in GoogleTest: Mock object should be deleted but never is.:

_selectedConfValid = new MockOpcConf();

Youre still creating it on the heap, why not simply:

TestOpcUa() 
    {
        MockOpcConf _selectedConfValid; // Allocate on the stack, no need to delete explicetly

[henrik2016]

@jsulm The function I would like to test need pointer.
I have got a Destructor in OpcConf. Is it possible to add a destructor in the Mock-Class MockOpcConf?

The function I would like to test need pointer.

And what is the problem? Just pass it the pointer then:

&_selectedConfValid

[henrik2016]

@jsulm But how can I modify the lambda function?

[jsulm]

@henrik2016 What exactly do you want to change?

[henrik2016]

@jsulm I create 19 Mock-Objects like this:

shared_ptr<MockOpcNode> deviceNo = make_shared<MockOpcNode>();

At the end of my test, I have to delete all objects. How can I do this?

You don't if you do not allocate on the heap (don't use new) - that was the whole point of what @SGaist wrote.
So, why do you do it this way

_selectedConfValid = new MockOpcConf();

intead of

MockOpcConf _selectedConfValid;

?

[henrik2016]

@jsulm I already use MockOpcConf _selectedConfValid;

But I have got the other objects.
