Actually, my comments were spurred on from a discussion on the QtCreator
list. I am *very* happy with the layout inside of VS2015 that we have
been able to generate based on the USE_FOLDERS property. QtCreator tends
to use the Ninja generator to generate the actual build system.
QtCreator just calls "cmake --build . ...." when it needs to build your
project. And since they use the "Ninja" generator (which I think is user
settable) and Ninja does not support the USE_FOLDERS notion, that
USE_FOLDERS would need to be implemented in the Ninja generator so that
CMAKE-Server mode would pass that information? I don't know how
separated the Cmake-server code model is from the actual generator.

I can only speak about VS, which currently neither with the VS nor
the Ninja generator use the FOLDERS property to lay out the targets
inside the Solution Explorer. Instead, it maintains the folder
structure of the CMake project. This was an intentional design
decision from their part (at least for the time being), due to CMake
folks primarily being used to the command line, thus they think in
therms of the folder structure, not the logical layout of the CMake
scripts.
There is a tendency though of hooking all CMake notions into the IDE,
such as CTests show up Test Explorer. Reach out to the VS CMake team
and let them know that there is such need, perhaps controlled through
a switch.

<mailto:[email protected]> *Tárgy: *[CMake] CMake Server Mode and
USE_FOLDERS
I was just exploring in a command line the CMake Server mode in 3.8
(I
have not tried 3.9 yet) just to see what gets output and I was
wondering
if CMake-Server mode supports "set_property(GLOBAL PROPERTY
USE_FOLDERS
ON)" for any generator? I was specifically using the "ninja"
generator
for my experiments. I suspect not since Ninja itself does not have
the
concept of this but I though I would inquire.
If IDE's that are now relying on CMake-server had this information
it
would allow the IDE to present the project in such a way that the
developers intended or laid out. I know we put a lot of time into
our
CMake files so that the Visual Studio and Xcode projects are
reasonably
organized when you open them instead of just listing 250 targets.
Thanks for any insights.
