I am trying to create a test.
The traditional way uses the command : add_test (simpleTest executable)
I want to know if there is any way to add a dependency to a specific test?
CMake does not recognize simpleTest as a target.
For my application I am trying to use cxx test.
A script (executable) is ran which produces a *.cpp file.
That file is then compiled to an executable test (simpleTest).
The target for the test (creating the *.cpp and test executable) should only
build with command 'make test'
A simple 'make' should not build the target of the test (create *.cpp and test
executable)
The way I have gotten this to work in the past is to have a new "Simple"
project for the simple test, and use add_custom_command within the Simple
project to generate the *.cpp file.
add_test (simpleTest ${CMAKE_CTEST_COMMAND}
--build-and-test "a directory/test"
"a directory/test"
--build-generator ${CMAKE_GENERATOR}
--build-makeprogram ${CMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM}
--build-project Simple
--test-command simple)
The add_test command calls the "Simple" project, builds the executable (simple)
and then runs the test (simpleTest).
If possible I want to avoid having to create a new project because my
application requires that a lot of shell variables be set as well as a lot of
libs to be linked in.
When I call 'make test'
I want the following:
1.) have the script execute to create a *.cpp file,
2.) build the test executable from the *.cpp file
3.) run the test.
4.) This all must be done without calling new projects
My thoughts are the following:
If I could add a dependency to a specific test,
I could use target property "EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL" to make sure the test *.cpp and
executable are only created during 'make test'
and not during 'make'.
Thanks in advance for any help.
