We have had luck packaging all the CTestTestFile.cmake files, and using sed to
adjust paths for the target location. You need to install ctest on the test
machine, along with all the tests.
The only paths we change are the test output location (ie google test .xml
files: this might not apply to you), and the path to the build directory.
Something like the following.
sed -i ‘s/$BUILD_DIR/@CTEST_TARGET_DIR@/g’ $file
When running we first use configure_file in cmake to substitute
CTEST_TARGET_DIR with whatever path things are installed to on the test machine.

Subject: [CMake] Split Build and Test Pipelines
Hi All,
I'm curious if anyone has had success allowing two testing paths to coexist
well.
Currently, we are using CTest to run our test executables with `make test`.
However, on our Jenkins system, the build machines have the whole development
stack but the test machines do not. So we need a way to package up the tests in
a way that the test machines can simply run some generated script to do the
equivalent of what CTest would do.
My current thought is to generate OS specific scripts `make test` depends on
and runs. These scripts can get installed through `make install` if
ENABLE_TEST_INSTALL is set, and then the test machine can run the installed
scripts. The tricky part is building up the hierarchy of scripts in such a way
that the tester just needs to run "test.sh" or "test.bat" at the top-level of
the install hierarchy.
Any comments and suggestions greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
