Re: [CMake] Is it possible to run ctest outside build tree?

[Patrick Boettcher]

Hi,

Answering a little bit late: I had a similar problem I wanted to run
only parts of my tests (-R) dedicated test-reports.

As cmake is using absolute paths to the executable the only thing I
needed to copy were the CTestFiles in all sub-directories.

  # copy all ctest-files to the current dir
  rsync -avm --include='*CTestTestfile.cmake' -f 'hide,! */' \
  ${TESTING_WORKSPACE}/* .

TESTING_WORKSPACE is the build-dir. 'current dir' is a path per
test-selection.

I then can run different ctest -R  in the different paths
using on the same binaries from one build dir and having different
test-reports.

HTH,

Patrick.

Re: [CMake] Is it possible to run ctest outside build tree?

[Craig Scott]

Not sure if this is the sort of thing you are looking for, but you can use
the cmake -E chdir command as a way to run an arbitrary command from
another directory without having to create any extra scripts, perform shell
logic, etc. For example:

cmake -E chdir /my/build/tree ctest

How about

cmake --build /my/build/tree --target test

Subject: [CMake] Is it possible to run ctest outside build tree?

Is possible to run ctest outside the builld tree and how?
typical use is when I have an out of source build I may be in the source tree
and want to run tests without manually going to build tree.

i.e. I currently do:

ninja -C /my/build/tree

is there a similar way to do that with ctest (other than creating my own 
script, shell alias etc...)?

This works but it is not possible to pass filtering argument (-L or -R) to
ctest this way.

Re: [CMake] Is it possible to run ctest outside build tree?

[David Cole via CMake]

If the implementation is "run ctest in this build tree" and it
effectively simply does a "pushd $build_tree", runs, and then "popd",
then I don't see why anybody would object to it.

Although, a script wrapper would be completely trivial, and work with
existing ctest.

Re: [CMake] Is it possible to run ctest outside build tree?

[Eric Noulard]

Hi David,
Thank you for you for checking the code. Would you think adding such a
command line option would be acceptable upstream?

Le 24 mars 2017 18:43, "David Cole"  a écrit :

This code:

https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/blob/master/Source/ctest.cxx#L139-L157

shows ctest will look for a CTestTestfile.cmake or DartTestfile.txt
file in the current working directory as soon as it starts. Except in
the case of processing a "--launch" directive, in which case, it
dispatches that in the code just above there.

So. I think you have not much choice other than to propose adding a
new command line argument for such purpose, or wrapping existing ctest
with your own script or program of some sort.


HTH,
David C.
