Right, it should not do the latter. Looking through recent history the cleanup of return code computation I mentioned in an earlier response does not appear to be there. I think similar discussion previously led to the need for such cleanup but it looks like it was never actually done. The error and return code handling within CTest is fairly messy due to historical evolution and incremental expansion of the ways in which tests can be run. As a start, one could look at making ctest_test() not affect the return code just due to a test failure. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
