I'm developing a feature for an embedded application and I'm using Ceedling (which builds on top of the Unity test framework) to test it. An issue that I'm having is that I need to use functionality in C source files that Ceedling isn't compiling/linking with my unit test files.
According to the Ceedling documentation:
Ceedling knows what files to compile and link into each individual test executable by way of the #include list contained in each test file. Any C source files in the configured search directories that correspond to the header files included in a test file will be compiled and linked into the resulting test fixture executable.
The problem is that I'm including a header file "RTOS.h" in my unit tests to get access to embOS RTOS functions, but these functions are defined in "RTOSInit.c" and "os7m_tl__dp.a", and according to this documentation Ceedling will only look for "RTOS.c" when it sees #include "RTOS.h" in the unit test code.
What I'm looking for is a way to manually specify that these additional files should be compiled and linked when generating the test runner executable. This seems like a very basic requirement of Ceedling but I can't see a way to do this from the documentation.
I have also raised this as an issue on the Ceedling Github site.
For reference, my current "project.yml" file (used by Ceedling) is given below:
