Andrew (Ross), I have an interesting question for you. There is something
going on where ctest reports a test pass even when the script fails.
Here is an example:
Before I fixed the chmod problem in plplot-test.sh I got the following output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ctest --verbose --tests-regex octave
Start processing tests
Test project /home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir
Constructing a list of tests
Done constructing a list of tests
Changing directory into /home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/test
4/ 6 Testing examples_octave
Test command: /bin/bash -c
EXAMPLES_DIR=/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/build_dir/examples\
SRC_EXAMPLES_DIR=/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_cmake/examples\
PLPLOT_LIB=/home/software/plplot_cvs/HEAD/plplot_cmake/data/\ ./plplot-test.sh\
--front-end=octave
Testing front-end octave
PLplot library version: 5.7.1
You are in Locate mode. Click any mouse button or press any key
and the current cursor position will be printed.
Please keep <NumLock> and <CapsLock> off.
Terminate locate mode with the <Enter> key.
Finish the plot with the <Enter> or <ESC> key or the 3d mouse button
chmod: too few arguments
Try chmod --help' for more information.
-- Process completed
Passed
The following tests passed:
examples_octave
100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 1
How come the chmod error in plplot-test.sh (since fixed) did not generate a
ctest failure message?
