Hello, I'm having some trouble understanding how I can execute my test
suite uniformly on all platforms.
On GNU/Linux (with `make`), I can execute
----
cmake -S "$PROJDIR" -B "$BUILDDIR" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="$build_type"
-DBUILD_TESTING=ON
cmake --build "$BUILDDIR"
cmake --build "$BUILDDIR" --config "$build_type" --target test --
ARGS="--progress"
----
(PROJDIR points to the project directory, BUILDDIR the build directory
and build_type to Release, Debug and so on)
If I try to execute on Windows (with msvc and msbuild) the same
commands, I get following error:
--
MSBUILD : error MSB1008: Only one project can be specified.
Switch: ARGS=--progress
--
Which is very misleading.
Removing `-- ARGS="--progress"` from the invocation yields
--
MSBUILD : error MSB1009: Project file does not exist.
Switch: test.vcxproj
--
Looking at the generated projects, I realized there is a "RUN_TESTS" target:
----
cmake -S "$PROJDIR" -B "$BUILDDIR" -DBUILD_TESTING=ON
cmake --build "$BUILDDIR"
cmake --build "$BUILDDIR" --config "$build_type" --target RUN_TESTS --
ARGS="--progress"
----
still yields
--
MSBUILD : error MSB1008: Only one project can be specified.
Switch: ARGS=--progress
--
This time removing `-- ARGS="--progress"` finally runs the tests:
----
cmake -S "$PROJDIR" -B "$BUILDDIR" -DBUILD_TESTING=ON
cmake --build "$BUILDDIR"
cmake --build "$BUILDDIR" --config "$build_type" --target RUN_TESTS
----
So there are 2 questions, I'm unsure if those are bugs.
1)
Is there a target that I can use on any platform for running the tests,
or do I need to handle every platform/build-system differently?
RUN_TESTS is not a valid target with `make`.
2)
How can I pass `ARGS="--progress"` on windows.
This parameter is accepted by `ctest` on windows too, so it should be valid.
Regards,
Federico
