If there was some way for CMake to utilize "solution folders" in Visual Studio, we could easily organize unit tests into a hierarchy. This way the solution explorer would not be cluttered and we'd still be able to have 1 project per unit test.</blockquote>

Never heard of unit tests that fail to compile before as a condition for success... I'm curious what kinds of things these could be used for?<br><br>Is there support for grouping projects in folders in Visual Studio? If not it could be added to VS. If it is supported in VS you could send in a patch to make it work with CMake or at the very list request a feature.<br>
<br>Regarding the compile time tests, you could keep them separate but not enable them by default in your daily builds, just your nightly regression tests.<br><br>You could also make them "zzz_test_foo" compile time tests so they show up at the bottom of the list of projects where you'll never see them. The PROJECT_LABEL target property should help with this.<br>
