This can be allowed in the next release, but it needs to have some
features present and tested such as
* Ensuring that relative paths do not appear in the generated property.
* Ensuring that paths to the source or build directories do not appear.
* Generating a check in the file for CMake 3.1 or later so that the
resulting property will be consumed.
* Ensuring that any referenced targets are part of an export set and
generating a check for them.
* INSTALL_INTERFACE and BUILD_INTERFACE content.
All of these checks are already done for INTERFACE_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES,
but it is too late to add them for INTERFACE_SOURCES for CMake 3.1.
As the checks introduce some new error conditions, it is better to
disallow exporting fully for this case and introduce proper error
conditions later instead of policies.
This directory contains tests that run CMake to configure a project
but do not actually build anything. To add a test:
1. Add a subdirectory named for the test, say ``<Test>/``.
2. In ``./CMakeLists.txt`` call ``add_RunCMake_test`` and pass the
test directory name ``<Test>``.
3. Create script ``<Test>/RunCMakeTest.cmake`` in the directory containing::
include(RunCMake)
run_cmake(SubTest1)
...
run_cmake(SubTestN)
where ``SubTest1`` through ``SubTestN`` are sub-test names each
corresponding to an independent CMake run and project configuration.
One may also add calls of the form::
run_cmake_command(SubTestI ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ...)
to fully customize the test case command-line.
4. Create file ``<Test>/CMakeLists.txt`` in the directory containing::
cmake_minimum_required(...)
project(${RunCMake_TEST} NONE) # or languages needed
include(${RunCMake_TEST}.cmake)
where ``${RunCMake_TEST}`` is literal. A value for ``RunCMake_TEST``
will be passed to CMake by the ``run_cmake`` macro when running each
sub-test.
5. Create a ``<Test>/<SubTest>.cmake`` file for each sub-test named
above containing the actual test code. Optionally create files
containing expected test results:
``<SubTest>-result.txt``
Process result expected if not "0"
``<SubTest>-stdout.txt``
Regex matching expected stdout content
``<SubTest>-stderr.txt``
Regex matching expected stderr content
``<SubTest>-check.cmake``
Custom result check.
Note that trailing newlines will be stripped from actual and expected
test output before matching against the stdout and stderr expressions.
The code in ``<SubTest>-check.cmake`` may use variables
``RunCMake_TEST_SOURCE_DIR``
Top of test source tree
``RunCMake_TEST_BINARY_DIR``
Top of test binary tree
and an failure must store a message in ``RunCMake_TEST_FAILED``.
