skip an unit test

Hi,

I have a list of unit tests. Some of them should be skipped.

I would assume as TestResult something like that:

TestResult with properties:

          Name: 'myTestCase'
        Passed: 0
        Failed: 0
    Incomplete: 1
      Duration: 0.42

In the documentation of "TestResult" there is one point: "Tests filtered through assumption"

How can I do this?

Thanks

To filter tests, you use an "assumable" qualification in your Test Method.

http://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2013b/matlab/ref/matlab.unittest.qualifications.assumableclass.html

This will skip the remainder of the Test method but not fail it, marking it incomplete.

http://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R2013b/matlab/matlab_prog/write-test-using-assumptions.html

And a Quick Example:

classdef MyUnitTest < matlab.unittest.TestCase

    methods(Test)

        function Test(testCase)
            testCase.assumeTrue(ismac,'The computer is not a Mac')
            disp('This line of code will not run on my PC');

        end

    end

end

To run it:

T = MyUnitTest
run(T)

To unconditionally skip a test, add:

assumeFail(testCase)

to the top of the method.
