Re: [CMake] Tracing ctest crash on windows

2017-01-09 Thread Stuermer, Michael SP/HZA-ZSEP 
Hallo Aaron,

if you’d like to have the full luxury of visual studio with test explorer and 
running/debugging tests directly as you can do it with other .NET based tests 
etc. you can try these extensions:


-  child process debugging power tools 
(https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GreggMiskelly.MicrosoftChildProcessDebuggingPowerTool)

-  ctesttestadapter 
(https://github.com/micst/CTestTestAdapter/tree/master/dist)

For debugging tests you need both extensions: the first for hooking on the 
process that is launched by ctest.exe, the second for actual ctest integration 
in visual studio.

Compared to running your binary test-targets directly you will gain the 
advantage that you do not have to modify and debugging command line, you have 
all tests listed in a explorer windows with easy access and you get all verbose 
messages from ctest in the test explorer as well.

The VSIX extension is a fork from https://github.com/toeb/CTestTestAdapter with 
some changes and bugfixes. It's not tested very well but I use it every day and 
it works for me. Do not use the "ctesttestadapter" you can find directly in 
visual studio, it does not work with latest cmake.

CAUTION: If you use the cmaketools extension (http://cmaketools.codeplex.com) 
in Visual Studio, the link to the test location in the test explorer does not 
work (double clicking on a test will show some "could open file location" 
error). This does not break the test adapter, opening the CTestTestfile.cmake 
is just not possible from within Visual Studio.

Hello,

Some of my ctest tests are crashing with exception.
Is there a way of debugging these tests ?

When I run in debug mode, I get an exception dialog,
but can't drop into debugging environment.
If you run ctest -VV it will show the full command line.  Best way is to just 
run the same command in the debugger.

Hej,

CTest is not some magical tool that internally runs your test or something
like that - instead CTest just fires up your test executable and does
clever things with the output. In the same way you can just set your test
project as startup-project, and debug it like any other executable.

[CMake] Tracing ctest crash on windows

2017-01-04 Thread Aaron Boxer 
Hello,
I am on windows, with visual studio 2015.
Some of my ctest tests are crashing with exception.
Is there a way of debugging these tests ?

When I run in debug mode, I get an exception dialog,
but can't drop into debugging environment.

Thanks,
Aaron
