Re: [CMake] CTest not searching for the correct executable

[Saad Khattak]

That was it, thanks Nils!

For future reference, after adding the test like Nils suggested, calling
"ctest" wouldn't work as it now needs your configuration:

ctest -C Debug

Hi,

I expect CMake to recognize that "MyTest" has executables that are 
named "MyTest_d" and "MyTest_r" and NOT MyTest. I expect this because 
in the CMake documentation the  can be an executable target 
where CMake then replaces it with the location of the executable.


However, what I get is errors when running "ctest" where it complains 
that it cannot find "MyTest" when it should really be searching for 
"MyTest_d" and "MyTest_r".


Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in CMake?


You are using the old signature (without NAME|COMMAND) for which the 
documentation states [1]:
    "Unlike the above |NAME| signature no transformation is performed 
on the command-line to support target names or generator expressions."


Use the new signature instead e.g.:
    add_test(NAME RunTests COMMAND MyTest)

[CMake] CTest not searching for the correct executable

[Saad Khattak]

Hi,

Suppose I have something like this:

add_executable(MyTest main.cpp)
set_target_properties(MyTest
  PROPERTIES
  DEBUG_POSTFIX _d
  RELEASE_POSTFIX _r
  )
add_test(RunTests MyTest) # where MyTest is the 

I expect CMake to recognize that "MyTest" has executables that are named
"MyTest_d" and "MyTest_r" and NOT MyTest. I expect this because in the
CMake documentation the  can be an executable target where CMake
then replaces it with the location of the executable.

However, what I get is errors when running "ctest" where it complains that
it cannot find "MyTest" when it should really be searching for "MyTest_d"
and "MyTest_r".

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug in CMake?

Regards,
Saad
