Lukas Brübach 3a36b5eea4 [Tests] Register each test case with CTest instead of each test binary
Registering a test cost four edits across a dozen CMakeLists files: add_test,
add_executable, a conditional add_dependencies on gtest, and target_link_libraries.
The conditional branch was the trap -- it is only needed when GTest was fetched and
add_subdirectory'd, and omitting it yields undefined gtest symbols at link time --
so it was easy to leave out and impossible to notice until the link failed.

Fold all four steps into cockatrice_add_test() and migrate every test directory
onto it, with a cockatrice_add_manual_test() wrapper for the three benchmarks that
are built but deliberately kept out of ctest. The calls now read as a declaration
of what a test is rather than a transcript of how to register one.

While rewriting the registrations, replace add_test(NAME x COMMAND x) with
gtest_discover_tests(). Naming the binary as a single CTest entry meant a CI failure
reported only which binary failed, and ctest -R Suite.Case could not select an
individual case. Discovery raises the suite from 35 opaque entries to 469 real ones:
ctest -R ThemeMigrationTest.IsIdempotent now runs exactly that case, and
ctest -L server / -LE bench work off labels applied at registration.

Give every test a 60s TIMEOUT. CTest's implicit default is 1500s, so one hung
socket wait would stall CI for 25 minutes, and single_instance_manager_test already
does real QLocalSocket waits.

Dropping per-case granularity costs wall-clock time, since the suite becomes
process-spawn bound rather than CPU bound: serial ctest went from 3.8s to 30.8s. Run
it with -j in CI to recover it -- 7.6s at -j4, and 3.5s at -j8, both at or below
the old serial time. The binaries are parallel-safe: the only test claiming a fixed
resource scopes its local socket name to its own pid, so concurrent copies cannot
collide.

Also delete dummy_test, which asserted 1 == 1 and only proved the harness was
wired up -- something the other 468 cases already establish.

No test is added, removed, or changed by this commit; the 469 cases are the same
ones the 35 binaries contained.

Cockatrice

Cockatrice is an open-source, multiplatform application for playing tabletop card games over a network. The program's server design prevents users from manipulating the game for unfair advantage. The client also provides a single-player mode, which allows users to brew while offline.

This project uses C++ and the Qt libraries.

Code

To contribute code to the project, please review our guidelines first.
We maintain two tags for contributors to easier find issues to potentially work on:

  • Good first issue
    Issues tagged in this way provide a simple way to get started. They don't require much experience to be worked on.
  • Help wanted
    This tag is used for issues that we are looking for somebody to pick up. Often this is for feature suggestions we support, but don't have the time to work on ourselves.

For both tags, we're willing to provide help to contributors in showing them where and how they can make changes, as well as code reviews for submitted changes.
We'll happily advice on how best to implement a feature, or we can show you where the codebase is doing something similar before you get too far along - put a note on an issue you want to discuss more on!

You can also have a look at our Todo List in our Code Documentation or search the repo for \todo comments.

Documentation CI Docs

There are various places where useful information for different needs are maintained:

Cockatrice tries to use the Google Developer Documentation Style Guide to ensure consistent documentation. We encourage you to improve the documentation by suggesting edits based on this guide.

Translation Transifex Project

Cockatrice uses Transifex to manage translations. You can help us bring Cockatrice and Oracle to your language and just adjust single wordings right from within your browser by visiting our Transifex project page. The Webatrice web client manages its own translations in its repo.

Check out our Translator FAQ for more information about getting involved, and join a group of hundreds of others!

Build CI Desktop CI Docker

Dependencies: (for minimum versions search our CMake file)

Oracle can optionally use some packages to load compressed card files:


Basic compilation steps:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make

You can then

  • Create a Cockatrice installation inside the release folder:
    make install
    
  • Or make an installation package specific to your system:
    make package
    

Note

Detailed compiling instructions can be found in the Cockatrice wiki at Compiling Cockatrice


The following flags (with their non-default values) can be passed to cmake:

Flag Description
-DWITH_SERVER=1 Build Servatrice server
-DWITH_CLIENT=0 Don't build Cockatrice client
-DWITH_ORACLE=0 Don't build Oracle card database tool
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug Compile in debug mode
Enables extra logging output, debug symbols, and much more verbose compiler warnings
-DWARNING_AS_ERROR=0 Don't treat compilation warnings as errors in debug mode
-DUPDATE_TRANSLATIONS=1 Configure make to update the translation .ts files for new strings in the source code
Note: make clean will remove the .ts files
-DTEST=1 Enable regression tests
Note: make test to run tests, googletest will be downloaded if not available

Tip

Build code documentation (Doxygen) according to our configuration into /docs:

doxygen Doxyfile

Run

Cockatrice is the game client
Oracle fetches card data
Servatrice is the server

Docker

You can build an image & deploy a Servatrice (Cockatrice server) container using Docker and our Dockerfile yourself.

For more details, look into our wiki section on Setting up Servatrice.
You'll also find more hints on our pre-build image there, or the docker-compose file which will configure and run both a MySQL server and Servatrice.
