Maybe I just don't know how to use ctest properly.
I'm trying to suppress ctest's output *except* if there is a test failure.
As such, I'm running with the following command:
ctest --output-on-failure --quiet
According to the man page, --quiet suppresses --verbose, --extra-verbose
and --debug.
According to the man page, --output-on-failure displays anything outputted
by the test program if the test should fail.
Is there a way to get the best of both worlds? That is, suppress everything
unless there is a failure, only display the failing test's output and
ctest's output for the failing test.
Here are my various tests cases:
*1. ctest with no arguments:*
$ ctest
Test project /home/steve/src/cmake_test/.build/debug
Start 1: foo_test
1/2 Test #1: foo_test ......................... Passed 1.86 sec
Start 2: bar_test
2/2 Test #2: bar_test .........................***Failed 1.92 sec
50% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 2
Total Test time (real) = 3.78 sec
The following tests FAILED:
2 - bar_test (Failed)
Errors while running CTest
*2. ctest with quiet only*
$ ctest --quiet
*3. ctest with output-on-failure only*
$ ctest --output-on-failure
Test project /home/steve/src/cmake_test/.build/debug
Start 1: foo_test
1/2 Test #1: foo_test ......................... Passed 1.81 sec
Start 2: bar_test
2/2 Test #2: bar_test .........................***Failed 1.91 sec
Running 1 test case...
testing bar
/home/steve/src/cmake_test/bar/test/main.cpp(10): fatal error: in
"bar_test": critical check bar() == "123 bar" has failed [123 bar foo !=
123 bar]
*** 1 failure is detected in the test module "Master Test Suite"
50% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 2
Total Test time (real) = 3.71 sec
The following tests FAILED:
2 - bar_test (Failed)
Errors while running CTest
*4. ctest with both quiet and output-on-failure*
$ ctest --output-on-failure --quiet
Why no error output?
