Document usage of the include(CTest) module
Previously this module gave only very brief documentation. We extend the module's documentation to describe CTestConfig.cmake, interaction with dashboard scripts, and the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option.

# - Configure a project for testing with CTest/CDash
|
||||
# This file configures a project to use the CTest/CDash/Dart
|
||||
# testing/dashboard process. This module should be included
|
||||
# in the CMakeLists.txt file at the top of a project. Typical usage:
|
||||
# INCLUDE(CTest)
|
||||
# IF(BUILD_TESTING)
|
||||
# # ... testing related CMake code ...
|
||||
# ENDIF(BUILD_TESTING)
|
||||
# The BUILD_TESTING option is created by the CTest module to determine
|
||||
# whether testing support should be enabled. The default is ON.
|
||||
# Include this module in the top CMakeLists.txt file of a project to
|
||||
# enable testing with CTest and dashboard submissions to CDash:
|
||||
# project(MyProject)
|
||||
# ...
|
||||
# include(CTest)
|
||||
# The module automatically creates a BUILD_TESTING option that selects
|
||||
# whether to enable testing support (ON by default). After including
|
||||
# the module, use code like
|
||||
# if(BUILD_TESTING)
|
||||
# # ... CMake code to create tests ...
|
||||
# endif()
|
||||
# to creating tests when testing is enabled.
|
||||
#
|
||||
# To enable submissions to a CDash server, create a CTestConfig.cmake
|
||||
# file at the top of the project with content such as
|
||||
# set(CTEST_PROJECT_NAME "MyProject")
|
||||
# set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "01:00:00 UTC")
|
||||
# set(CTEST_DROP_METHOD "http")
|
||||
# set(CTEST_DROP_SITE "my.cdash.org")
|
||||
# set(CTEST_DROP_LOCATION "/submit.php?project=MyProject")
|
||||
# set(CTEST_DROP_SITE_CDASH TRUE)
|
||||
# (the CDash server can provide the file to a project administrator
|
||||
# who configures 'MyProject').
|
||||
# Settings in the config file are shared by both this CTest module and
|
||||
# the CTest command-line tool's dashboard script mode (ctest -S).
|
||||
#
|
||||
# While building a project for submission to CDash, CTest scans the
|
||||
# build output for errors and warnings and reports them with
|
||||
# surrounding context from the build log. This generic approach works
|
||||
# for all build tools, but does not give details about the command
|
||||
# invocation that produced a given problem. One may get more detailed
|
||||
# reports by adding
|
||||
# set(CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS 1)
|
||||
# to the CTestConfig.cmake file. When this option is enabled, the
|
||||
# CTest module tells CMake's Makefile generators to invoke every
|
||||
# command in the generated build system through a CTest launcher
|
||||
# program. (Currently the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option is ignored on
|
||||
# non-Makefile generators.) During a manual build each launcher
|
||||
# transparently runs the command it wraps. During a CTest-driven
|
||||
# build for submission to CDash each launcher reports detailed
|
||||
# information when its command fails or warns.
|
||||
# (Setting CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS in CTestConfig.cmake is convenient, but
|
||||
# also adds the launcher overhead even for manual builds. One may
|
||||
# instead set it in a CTest dashboard script and add it to the CMake
|
||||
# cache for the build tree.)
