Still learning a bit about setting up my environment for Min Devkit. I don't really understand the docs in the readme for unit testing. I wonder if someone can help me understand how this is supposed to work, and then I can tell if I have issues with my environment or if I'm good to go.

The readme suggests three ways to run unit tests.

When I do this I get the same thing as appears in the Output Window of VS when I build RUN_TESTS. If all tests pass then build is successful. If there is a test that fails I get a build error.

Or I can run the test application itself, example: 

 When I do this I think I get a sensible test report. Yay!

"You can run them with your IDE's debugger by selecting the "RUN_TESTS" target."

I don't know what this means in Visual Studio, but it sounds like the quickest and easiest way to run tests and the best way to tell if every piece of my DEV environment is working or not.

If anyone could offer additional guidance about how to do the third option in Visual Studio 2019, I would be very grateful. I've tried several of my best guesses and keep running into bizarre errors that may or may not be normal.

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm looking forward to getting this project off the ground. Thanks!

It sounds good that you can run the test applications themselves (test_dcblocker_tilde.exe -s) and get sensible reports. This makes it sound like your environment is building those test binaries as expected.

If you want to run the Visual Studio debugger on a target, you would need to right click on the target and run an instance from the debug menu. In the following example, I used the debugger to run just the min.dict.join_test target, but you should be able to do the same thing on the RUN_TESTS target as well.
