Hi,

I am trying to create some sample unit tests for the package library I am creating. It looks like the library is being created but I get an undefined reference error. it looks like the test code couldn't link to the library.

CMakeFiles/configurator-test.dir/test/test_configurator.cpp.o: In function `ConfiguratorTest::SetUp()':
test_configurator.cpp:(.text._ZN16ConfiguratorTest5SetUpEv[_ZN16ConfiguratorTest5SetUpEv]+0x35): undefined reference to `object_analysis::Configurator::Configurator()'
CMakeFiles/configurator-test.dir/test/test_configurator.cpp.o: In function `ConfiguratorTest::TearDown()':
test_configurator.cpp:(.text._ZN16ConfiguratorTest8TearDownEv[_ZN16ConfiguratorTest8TearDownEv]+0x3b): undefined reference to `object_analysis::Configurator::~Configurator()'
CMakeFiles/configurator-test.dir/test/test_configurator.cpp.o: In function `ConfiguratorTest::MatchString(std::__cxx11::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&)':
test_configurator.cpp:(.text._ZN16ConfiguratorTest11MatchStringERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE[_ZN16ConfiguratorTest11MatchStringERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEE]+0x33): undefined reference to `object_analysis::Configurator::get_string[abi:cxx11]()'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I have a near empty class that has a function that returns a string and a test that checks the value of the returned string. The cmakelist file and package file are shown below:

CMakeList

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5)

  add_compile_options(-Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic)
endif()

add_library(

if(BUILD_TESTING)
  find_package(ament_lint_auto REQUIRED)
  find_package(ament_cmake_gtest REQUIRED)

My bad. I actually had a mistake in the code. Forgot to put namespace in the cpp file. Sorry about that. The linking seems to be fine. I still want to know how to link using ament for gtest. I am using the cmake way for linking. Is there another way to link using ament commands?

To answer your question in the comment, you can use ament_target_dependencies to link against other ament packages (for example). But if you are linking against a target in the same project, there's no ament command that I am aware of. target_link_libraries is the way to do it (as you have done in your posted cmake code).
