Type Definition googletest::Result

pub type Result<T> = Result<T, TestAssertionFailure>;

A Result whose Err variant indicates a test failure.

All test functions should return Result<()>.

This can be used with subroutines which may cause the test to fatally fail and which return some value needed by the caller. For example:

fn load_file_content_as_string() -> Result<String> {
    let file_stream = load_file().err_to_test_failure()?;
    Ok(file_stream.to_string())
}

The Err variant contains a [TestAssertionFailure] which carries the data of the (fatal) assertion failure which generated this result. Non-fatal assertion failures, which log the failure and report the test as having failed but allow it to continue running, are not encoded in this type.
