The documentation of this variable in the CTest module is outdated
and has been superseded by the ctest(1) manual. In particular, the
latter mentions that it works with the Ninja generator as well as
makefile generators. Remove the documentation from the CTest module
and replace it with a link to the main variable documentation (which
already references the ctest(1) manual).
Historically these were both added for the Makefile and Visual Studio
generators, respectively. Later the VS generators started using the
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM cache entry to find the IDE build tool, and the
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL was simply set as an alias.
Fix the documentation to explain that CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM is the modern
variable and that CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL is the compatibility alias, not the
other way around. Replace uses of CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL with
CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM in CMake-provided modules. Nothing needs to lookup
CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL in the cache, so simply set it as a normal variable.
Teach the ctest_update implementation to use the p4 command-line
client to perform updates and extract the list of changes.
Add a CTest.UpdateP4 test like those that exist already for the other
version control tools. Make the test available when p4 and the p4d
server are found. During the test launch p4d in the background to
serve a repository from the test directory. Then direct the client
toward this server for the duration of the test.
When building a project relying on External projects, the launchers were
not used in subprojects built without testing enabled. This was preventing
errors and warnings associated with these subprojects from being
reported on the dashboard.
This commit allows enabling the launchers independently of the value of
"BUILD_TESTING" using one of these two approaches:
1) By setting both CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS and the env variable
"CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS_DEFAULT" to 1 in the ctest dashboard driver scripts.
2) By enabling the variable CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS in the ctest dashboard
driver script and also by ensuring every external project passes the option
-DCMAKE_PROJECT_<projectname>_INCLUDE:FILEPATH=${CMAKE_ROOT}/Modules/CTestUseLaunchers.cmake
Ancient versions of CMake required else(), endif(), and similar block
termination commands to have arguments matching the command starting the
block. This is no longer the preferred style.
Run the following shell code:
for c in else endif endforeach endfunction endmacro endwhile; do
echo 's/\b'"$c"'\(\s*\)(.\+)/'"$c"'\1()/'
done >convert.sed &&
git ls-files -z -- bootstrap '*.cmake' '*.cmake.in' '*CMakeLists.txt' |
egrep -z -v '^(Utilities/cm|Source/kwsys/)' |
egrep -z -v 'Tests/CMakeTests/While-Endwhile-' |
xargs -0 sed -i -f convert.sed &&
rm convert.sed
COVERAGE_EXTRA_FLAGS is a space separated value of extra flags
that will be passed to gcov when ctest's coverage handler invokes
gcov to do coverage analysis.
Map to CoverageExtraFlags in the CTest ini file. Use default value
of "-l" to match the coverage handler's earlier behavior from ctest
2.8.4 and earlier. The fix for related issue #11717 had added a " -p"
which was the cause of both #12415 and #12490. Here, we revert that
change to the default value, so -p is no longer there by default.
The people that care to add -p may do so in their own build trees
by appending " -p" to the new cache variable COVERAGE_EXTRA_FLAGS.
Use a separate variable to pass to the BUILD_COMMAND call
and then use set(CACHE) to transfer that to MAKECOMMAND.
That way, if MAKECOMMAND is in the cache already, it is
left untouched. Fixes regression introduced in commit
0b38bb4c with the fix for bug #2336.
Thanks to Evgeniy P for the patch.
In the CTest module we previously warned if the source directory did not
contain known version control directories. The message was:
"CTest cannot determine repository type. Please set UPDATE_TYPE
to 'cvs' or 'svn'. CTest update will not work."
This was confusing when building sources from a tarball. Furthermore,
we now support many more version control tools. This feature is now
mature enough that the warning causes confusion more than it provides
real help. We simply remove it.
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.
This adds copyright/license notification blocks CMake's non-find
modules. Most of the modules had no notices at all. Some had notices
referring to the BSD license already. This commit normalizes existing
notices and adds missing notices.
This creates cmCTestHG to drive CTest Update handling on hg-based work
trees. Currently we always update to the head of the remote tracking
branch (hg pull), so the nightly start time is ignored for Nightly
builds. A later change will address this.
See issue #7879. Patch from Emmanuel Christophe. I modified the patch
slightly for code style, to finish up some parsing details, and to fix
the test.
Previously CTest would drop dashboard submissions at public.kitware.com
on the PublicDashboard project if there was no configuration. The
server no longer supports forwarding to cdash.org, so there is no point
in this default. Furthermore, there should be no default at all because
it could leak information about proprietary projects that are not
configured correctly.
This creates cmCTestBZR to drive CTest Update handling on bzr-based work
trees. Currently we always update to the head of the remote tracking
branch (bzr pull), so the nightly start time is ignored for Nightly
builds. A later change will address this. Patch from Tom Vercauteren.
See issue #6857.
This defines a new CTest configuration variable CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS.
When set to true it puts 'ctest --launch' in RULE_LAUNCH_* properties
and enables the CTest configuration option 'UseLaunchers'. Currently
this works only for Makefile generators.
-add a RESULT_VARIABLE to INCLUDE()
-add CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE for specifiying your (potentially crosscompiling) toolchain
-have TRY_RUN() complain if you try to use it in crosscompiling mode (which were compiled but cannot run on this system)
-use CMAKE_EXECUTABLE_SUFFIX in TRY_RUN(), probably TRY_RUN won't be able to
run the executables if they have a different suffix because they are
probably crosscompiled, but nevertheless it should be able to find them
-make several cmake variables presettable by the user: CMAKE_C/CXX_COMPILER, CMAKE_C/CXX_OUTPUT_EXTENSION, CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME, CMAKE_SYSTEM_INFO_FILE
-support prefix for GNU toolchains (arm-elf-gcc, arm-elf-ar, arm-elf-strip etc.)
-move ranlib on OSX from the file command to a command in executed in cmake_install.cmake
-add support for stripping during install in cmake_install.cmake
-split out cl.cmake from Windows-cl.cmake, first (very incomplete) step to support MS crosscompiling tools
-remove stdio.h from the simple C program which checks if the compiler works, since this may not exist for some embedded platforms
-create a new CMakeFindBinUtils.cmake which collects the search fro ar, ranlib, strip, ld, link, install_name_tool and other tools like these
-add support for CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH for all FIND_XXX commands, which is a
list of directories which will be prepended to all search directories, right
now as a cmake variable, turning it into a global cmake property may need
some more work
-remove cmTestTestHandler::TryExecutable(), it's unused
-split cmFileCommand::HandleInstall() into slightly smaller functions
