Cantata CTR extension for Visual Studio Code

Cantata is a Unit and Integration test tool for C and C++.
This extension adds features into Visual Studio Code that make Cantata Results files more efficient to navigate.

Extension Features

  • Adds CTR language including text highlighting within .ctr files

Requirements

This extension has no requirements. Although a Cantata licence will be required to actually generate a Cantata Results file (.ctr).
If such a licence is unavailable, a free trial of Cantata can be obtained by visiting the QA Systems website.

Usage

The CTR Extension is automatically enabled and used when a file with the .ctr extension is opened in VSCode.

The colouring within a CTR file aims to help with identifying passing and failing parts of the file.
Cantata Test scripts, test cases, and checks that are identified as 'PASSED' within the .ctr file are highlighted green.
ctr-passed

Failures that are identified in the .ctr file are highlighted red. Failures include failed checks, script errors, coverage gaps, executed infeasibles and failed test cases.
ctr-failed

The CTR file syntax can be enabled/disabled by selecting a different language from the bottom right of the VSCode window.
