If APPEND is given to ctest_start, it will read the tag from the current existing Testing/TAG file rather than creating a new one based on the current time stamp. This allows a developer to run several dashboard scripts in a row, all of which will share the same tag/stamp/buildid when they finally get submitted to CDash. Now you can split the running of build phases and test phases for the same dashboard row into multiple scripts.
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.
We make the cmCTest::Initialize method private since it is only called
from inside the class implementation. We also combine the two boolean
arguments into one since they both meant the same thing.
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.
When performing multiple ctest_coverage() commands in a single CTest
instance we need to clear the list of CoverageLog-*.xml files for
submission. Otherwise if the current coverage run produces fewer log
files than the previous run CTest will attempt to submit non-existing
files.
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.
This class provides easy syntax to efficiently insert blocks of data
into XML documents with proper escapes. It replaces the old
cmCTest::MakeXMLSafe and cmSystemTools::MakeXMLSafe methods which
allocated extra memory instead of directly streaming the data.
When running in script mode it is possible to run multiple separate
dashboard submissions in one cmCTest instance. The recent refactoring
of file submission lists into parts failed to clear the submission lists
when starting a new dashboard (ctest_start or ctest_update). Only the
unused old submission set was cleared. This fixes the refactored
version to remove the old submission set completely and also clear the
part-wise lists.
This splits the list of files for CTest to submit into those belonging
to each part. The set is recombined just before submission. Later this
will allow piecewise submissions.
This introduces the name "part" to denote a portion of the testing and
submission process performed by ctest. We generalize the boolean
indicating whether each part is enabled into a structure to which more
information can be added later. We provide bi-directional mapping
between part id and part names.
When CTest detects that a test is running its own executable it
optimizes the test by using an internal instance of cmCTest instead of
creating a new process. However, the internal instance was using cout
and cerr directly. This redirects the output to a string stream to
avoid direct display of the internal test's output.
