Hi David, thanks for your reply.
I have a couple more questions (for anyone) based on CMake testing of VTK/Examples/Build/vtkMy, since I seem to be generating image test errors with ctest. In my root CMakeLists.txt, I added the following to do hopefully basic testing, without submitting results to a dashboard: #projectroot/CMakeLists.txt MARK_AS_ADVANCED(BUILD_TESTING) IF(BUILD_TESTING) ENABLE_TESTING() ENDIF(BUILD_TESTING) and in CMakeOptions.cmake: #projectroot/CMakeOptions.cmake MARK_AS_ADVANCED(BUILD_TESTING) IF(BUILD_TESTING) IF(NOT VTKLOCAL_TESTING_TEMPORARY_DIR) MAKE_DIRECTORY(${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Testing/Temporary) SET(VTKLOCAL_TESTING_TEMPORARY_DIR "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/Testing/Temporary" CACHE INTERNAL "Temporary folder for tests") ENDIF(NOT VTKLOCAL_TESTING_TEMPORARY_DIR) ENABLE_TESTING() OPTION(VTK_USE_DISPLAY "Turn this option off and tests will not popup windows" ON) MARK_AS_ADVANCED(VTK_USE_DISPLAY) SET(CXX_TEST_PATH ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}) ENDIF(BUILD_TESTING) finally, in one of my source code subdirs, I have Testing/Cxx/CMakeLists.txt along with the .cxx tests: #projectroot/Common/Testing/Cxx/CMakeLists.txt SET(KIT LocalCommon) SET(MyTests TestCommon.cxx TestCommonGeomUtils.cxx TestCommonGeomUtils2.cxx ) CREATE_TEST_SOURCELIST( Tests ${KIT}CxxTests.cxx ${MyTests} EXTRA_INCLUDE vtkTestDriver.h ) ADD_EXECUTABLE(${KIT}CxxTests ${Tests} ) TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(${KIT}CxxTests vtkLocalCommon vtkCommon vtkFiltering vtkGraphics vtkRendering) SET (TestsToRun ${Tests}) REMOVE (TestsToRun ${KIT}CxxTests.cxx) FOREACH (test ${TestsToRun}) GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(TName ${test} NAME_WE) ADD_TEST( ${TName} ${CXX_TEST_PATH}/${KIT}CxxTests ${TName} -V ${VTKLOCAL_SOURCE_DIR}/Testing/baseline/${TName}.png -T ${VTKLOCAL_TESTING_TEMPORARY_DIR} ) ENDFOREACH (test) The third .cxx test uses the standard vtk testing tools <snip> // some VTK graphics pipeline here... int retVal = vtkRegressionTestImage( renWin ); if ( retVal == vtkRegressionTester::DO_INTERACTOR) { iren->Start(); } return retVal; <snip> running ctest with NO image in the project source tree's Testing/baseline dir generates a (correct) .png test image in the project binary build tree under /Testing/Temporary, with LastTest.log file containing: <snip> 3/3 Testing: TestCommonGeomUtils2 3/3 Test: TestCommonGeomUtils2 Command: "d:/Developer/Releases/Borland/vtkStatic/bin/LocalCommonCxxTests.exe" "TestCommonGeomUtils2" "-V" "d:/Developer/ISSCode/vtkLocal/Testing/baseline/TestCommonGeomUtils2.png" "-T" "d:/Developer/Releases/Borland/vtkLocalStatic/Testing/Temporary" Directory: d:/Developer/Releases/Borland/vtkLocalStatic/Common/Testing/Cxx "TestCommonGeomUtils2" start time: Sep 20 11:45 Eastern Daylight Time Output: ---------------------------------------------------------- <DartMeasurement name="ImageNotFound" type="text/string">d:/Developer/ISSCode/vtkLocal/Testing/baseline/TestCommonGeomUtils2.png</DartMeasurement> <DartMeasurement name="WallTime" type="numeric/double">0.0900002</DartMeasurement> <DartMeasurement name="CPUTime" type="numeric/double">0.1</DartMeasurement> ---------------------------------------------------------- "TestCommonGeomUtils2" end time: Sep 20 11:45 Eastern Daylight Time "TestCommonGeomUtils2" time elapsed: 00:00:00 ---------------------------------------------------------- <snip> If I copy that image as my baseline for the test into the source tree's Testing/baseline dir and then run the test, I encounter a failed test with log entry along with a LastTestsFailed.log and no .diff.png or .small.png image(s): <snip> 3/3 Testing: TestCommonGeomUtils2 3/3 Test: TestCommonGeomUtils2 Command: "d:/Developer/Releases/Borland/vtkStatic/bin/LocalCommonCxxTests.exe" "TestCommonGeomUtils2" "-V" "d:/Developer/ISSCode/vtkLocal/Testing/baseline/TestCommonGeomUtils2.png" "-T" "d:/Developer/Releases/Borland/vtkLocalStatic/Testing/Temporary" Directory: d:/Developer/Releases/Borland/vtkLocalStatic/Common/Testing/Cxx "TestCommonGeomUtils2" start time: Sep 20 11:48 Eastern Daylight Time Output: ---------------------------------------------------------- <DartMeasurement name="ImageError" type="numeric/double">0</DartMeasurement><DartMeasurement name="BaselineImage" type="text/string">Standard</DartMeasurement><DartMeasurement name="WallTime" type="numeric/double">0.14</DartMeasurement> <DartMeasurement name="CPUTime" type="numeric/double">0.14</DartMeasurement> ---------------------------------------------------------- "TestCommonGeomUtils2" end time: Sep 20 11:48 Eastern Daylight Time "TestCommonGeomUtils2" time elapsed: 00:00:00 ---------------------------------------------------------- <snip> I thought at least that ctest would generate the usual .small and .diff images in a failure case. Also, I don't see why the test should fail since the test image and baseline images are identical.
