doctest support

[onqtam]

Hi! I'm the creator of doctest which is a testing framework very similar to Catch. Would you be interested in adding support for it as well? I could help in any way necessary. What functionality needs to be exposed?

Hi!, I had a quick look at DocTest and watched your CppCon 2017 talk. Definitely looks interesting. Adding support is not really an option. How do like to say that you need the Catch2 adapter to run DocTests in Visual Studio? Helping create a separate project based on the Test Adapter for Catch2 is something I could help with.

Currently I use the xml reporter from Catch2 to process the test results. I see that you are working on an xml reporter as well. Once that is available the port should be fairly straightforward. Most work will be parsing the discovery output, and the output from executing the tests. For the latest release I added a page on how the discovery process works. Also in the walkthrough page I list some problems you may encounter for discovering tests. Adding a parse algorithm for regular test result output is of course also an option. For Catch2 I implemented 3 discovery parsers and one test result parser, but nothing would stop you from supporting multiple test result parsers.
