Yes.  Please add this to anywhere in the documentation you expected
to see it.

[cmake-developers] semantics of ctest_build(APPEND)

2016-09-26 Thread Daniel Pfeifer
Hi,

the documentation of the ctest_build command states "Append semantics
are defined by the dashboard server in use." I think this is not
precise enough.

The client side effect of APPEND is that CTest creates an
Append="true" attribute in the XML. It does not append anything to the
already existing file. The existing file is overwritten.

For append to work as expected, it is necessary to call
ctest_submit(PARTS Build) between the ctest_build commands. This is
not documented.

Cheers, Daniel
