stalled program run with --gtest_list_tests never recovers

[pavelstudeny]

It seems that GoogleTestAdapter finds tests by running executables in the Visual Studio output directory with a --gtest_list_tests.

When that program stalls/freezes/takes a long time to execute, e.g. when it ignores an unknown option such as --gtest_list_test, there is no recovery and the linker cannot write to those executables and the dlls they load anymore, until the process is killed by a task manager or so.

Hello and thank you for your feedback.

We have added a timeout for test discovery here: "Cancel test discovery process after timeout" #90.
However, this improvement has not yet been released. You can either wait for the 0.10.0 to be released or try a recent build of the development branch.

You can also modify the test executable regex to exclude certain executables from test discovery.

Thanks, i guess i can close this as a duplicate of #90. Until 0.10 gets released, the regex seems to be a feasible solution.
