> Key: IMPALA-12288
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-12288
> Project: IMPALA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Infrastructure
> Affects Versions: Impala 4.3.0
> Reporter: Joe McDonnell
> Assignee: YifanZhang
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: Impala 4.3.0
>
> Time Spent: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> When using the new packaging functionality in IMPALA-10262, the command
> "buildall.sh -package -release -notests" still builds all of the backend
> tests.
> Currently, the "-notests" flag doesn't change the list of targets generated
> by CMake. Instead, "-notests" changes the make target that is built by
> buildall.sh. So, the test targets still exist, but they aren't built.
> cpack seems to invoke a plain "make" with no target, and this builds
> everything including the tests.
> To avoid this, we would need a mode that tells CMake to avoid generating the
> test targets altogether. This could be very useful for a packaging build,
> because the backend tests take up significant time and disk space to build.
