In CTest command-driven script mode we support starting without a source
tree. Previously the ctest_start() command would do some initialization
but could not do anything that required CTestConfig.cmake from the input
source tree. Later, ctest_update() would run CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND to
create the source tree, and then re-initialize everything. This
delayed-initialization approach led to many complicated cases of which
only some worked. For example, the second initialization only worked
correctly in Nightly mode and simply failed for Experimental and
Continuous builds.
A simpler solution is to run CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND during ctest_start()
and then have a single initialization path. In principle this change in
behavior could break scripts that set the checkout command after
ctest_start() but before ctest_update(). However, the convention we've
always followed has been to set all variables before ctest_start().
See issue #9450.
This converts the CMake license to a pure 3-clause OSI-approved BSD
License. We drop the previous license clause requiring modified
versions to be plainly marked. We also update the CMake copyright to
cover the full development time range.
1. Support for showing line numbers when debugging ctest --show-line-numbers
2. Modify the ctest initialization code, so that it can be delayed
3. Handlers now have corresponding command if they were invoked from the command (so far only update actually use that)
4. Start command is simplified and the functionality is moved to CTest
5. Update can perform initial checkout if CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND is set
6. Add test that checks out kwsys and perform tests on the fresh checkout
