Three dashboards for PLplot submitted today at <https://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=PLplot_git> had a build warning concerning ctest. For example, <https://my.cdash.org/buildSummary.php?buildid=1574104> contained
Build Warnings (1) *** WARNING non-zero return value in ctest from: C:\cmake-3.13.1-win64-x64\bin\cmake.exe which I have never seen before, and the test summary section contained (just) the following message 0 passed, 0 failed, 0 failed for timing, 0 not run. (which I have also never seen before). A PLplot peculiarity is that all tests depend on bash scripts so if bash.exe is not available (as in this user's case) then there will be no ctest tests configured. In an attempt to replicate this issue, I forced bash not to be found on my own Linux box which guaranteed no add_test logic was executed. However, instead of the above results here was the reasonable PLplot "no-test" result from ctest (version 3.13.1): software@merlin> ctest Test project /home/software/plplot/HEAD/build_dir No tests were found!!! software@merlin> echo $? 0 So I would have expected the same reasonable "no-test" result on this user's Windows machine (where he was also using ctest-3.13.1), but instead he is generating the above peculiar results. Can someone here shed some light on this issue? For example, could this be a ctest bug for the "no-test" case that this user's platform exposes? Or could this be a cdash issue when a dashboard is submitted with the above reasonable "no-test" results I got on Linux? Note, there cannot be much wrong with the normal PLplot configuration of ctest when most of our ~30 tests are configured since I have recently submitted (see, e.g., <https://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=PLplot_git&date=2018-12-02>) successful dashboards for a fully loaded Linux systems, and Arjen Markus has done the same thing previously for his fully loaded Cygwin and MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platforms.
