Since CTest does not currently load configuration settings computed at
CMake Configure time while running dashboard scripts, the ctest_build
command must honor the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS option directly.
Currently CTest does not load configuration settings computed at CMake
Configure time when running a dashboard script. This adds a comment
describing refactoring that might help resolve the problem.
When we collect Build.xml fragments generated by 'ctest --launch', this
lexicographically orders fragments with the same time stamp on disk
instead of incorrectly dropping duplicates.
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.
This defines a 'UseLaunchers' CTest configuration option. When enabled,
CTest skips log scraping from the Build step output. Instead it defines
the environment variable CTEST_LAUNCH_LOGS to a log directory during the
build. After the build it looks for error-*.xml and warning-*.xml files
containing fragments for inclusion in Build.xml and submission.
This is useful in conjuction with 'ctest --launch' and the RULE_LAUNCH_*
properties to get reliable, highly-granular build failure reports.
cmCTestLaunch first used an empty initializer list to zero-initialize a
buffer, but this is not supported on older compilers. Instead we avoid
the need for initialization altogether.
This creates an undocumented 'ctest --launch' mode. It launches a
specified command and optionally records a failure in an xml fragment.
We will optionally use this in CTest's Build stage to record per-rule
build failure information when using Makefile generators.
This defines global, directory, and target properties
RULE_LAUNCH_COMPILE, RULE_LAUNCH_LINK, and RULE_LAUNCH_CUSTOM. Their
values specify 'launcher' command lines which are prefixed to compile,
link, and custom build rules by Makefile generators.
This gives the cmTarget instance for which custom command rules are
being generated to cmLocalUnixMakefileGenerator3::AppendCustomCommands.
It will be useful in the future.
This creates a new LABELS property for targets and source files. We
write the labels of each target and its source files in target-specific
locations in the build tree for future use.
This creates method cmTarget::GetSupportDirectory to compute a
target-specific support directory in the build tree. It uses the
"CMakeFiles/<name>.dir" convention already used by the Makefile
generators. The method will be useful for any code that needs to
generate per-target information into the build tree for use by CMake
tools that do not run at generate time.
On Windows the GetLongPathName API function does not work on some
filesystems even if the file exists. In this case we should just use
the original long path name and not the GetShortPathName result.
See issue #8480.
This patch from Philip Lowman creates a REALPATH mode in the
get_filename_component command. It is like ABSOLUTE, but will also
resolve symlinks (which ABSOLUTE once did but was broken long ago).
See issue #8423.
This patch from Philip Lowman teaches SystemTools::GetRealPath to deal
with paths that do not exist by dealing with the case that realpath
returns NULL. See issue #8423.
When testing whether to re-run CMake, a byproduct may be a symlink. If
so, the existence of the link is important rather than the link's
target. See issue #8465.
App Bundle and Framework directories, symlinks, and Info.plist files we
create during generation are byproducts, not outputs. We should re-run
CMake only when they are missing, not when they are old.
See issue #8465.
A cmXMLSafe constructor named its parameter 'str' which shadowed the
name of the 'str' method. This renames the parameter to avoid the
conflict warning.
A previous change accidentally added the MacOS content directory and
Info.plist files created for MACOSX_BUNDLE executables to the list of
CMake input files. This causes CMake to re-generate the project too
often. These items should be added to the list of CMake output files.
The patch used to fix this bug used SystemTools::GetRealPath which works
only for existing files. It broke the case of using the command
get_filename_component for a non-existing file. Also, it changed
long-standing behavior in a possibly incompatible way even for existing
files. This reverts the original fix and instead updates the
documentation to be consistent with the behavior.
