Hi,
I'm currently working on some libraries [1] which allows you advanced
testing of daemons. Especially ones which require a network in testing.
However for using this I need some features in CMake. This should be a
discussion about these features. Maybe others have ideas and comments.
What I would like to have is a feature to group tests. By default everything
is in a standard test group. But you can define a special one:
add_test(NAME <name> [CONFIGURATIONS [Debug|Release|...]]
[GROUP <test_group>]
[WORKING_DIRECTORY dir]
COMMAND <command> [arg1 [arg2 ...]])
For a test group I need a way to define a setup/teardown command. Some tests
might require a special setup on the machine to be able to run correctly.
Like setting up a fake network.
set_test_group_properties(PROPERTIES
SETUP <command> [arg1 [arg2 ...]]
TEARDOWN <command> [arg1 [arg2 ...]]
ENVIRONMENT <env>)
The setup function is called before the first test of the group is executed
and the teardown functions after the last test finished. The environment
should be obvious.
Please comment.
Why not simply set up and tear down that network for every test ?
I would guess that might work poorly for parallel tests :-). (Plus it's
inefficient. Depending on the time to do set-up / tear-down versus
granularity (i.e. number) of tests, I could imagine a reasonable
scenario where doing it per-test increases the test time by at least one
order of magnitude.)
