I think it's just a semicolon problem. Unfortunately for all of us Windows PATH and CMake both use ";" as their list separator character.<br><br>And the set_test_properties ENVIRONMENT property is a semicolon delimited list of name1=value1;name2=value2;name3=value3;...etc...<br>
<br>To embed ; characters inside of a value, try this after setting NEWPATH and before calling set_test_properties:<br>STRING(REPLACE ";" "\\;" NEWPATH "${NEWPATH}")<br><br>Let us know if it works for you...<br>

While trying to research the answer to my question about how to make your test program locate its dependent DLL's (see my previous posting entitled "add_test and locating dependent DLL's on Windows"), I decided to try the recently added ENVIRONMENT property of set_tests_properties to set the PATH for the test program. I *think* I have found an issue with it, but before I open a bug, I wanted to check to see if this isn't operator error.<br>
<br>
First, I created a very simple test program:<br>
<br>
===== BEGIN: Env_test.cpp ======<br>
#include <stdio.h><br>
#include <stdlib.h><br>
<br>
void main (int argc, char *argv[])<br>
{<br>
char *p = getenv("PATH");<br>
fprintf(stdout, "PATH = %s\n", p);<br>
}<br>
===== END: Env_test.cpp ======<br>
And then the CMakeLists.txt<br>
<br>
===== BEGIN: CMakeLists.txt ======<br>
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.7)<br>
enable_testing()<br>
<br>
add_executable (Env_test Env_test.cpp)<br>
add_test (Env_test Env_test)<br>
<br>
if (${CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME} STREQUAL "Windows")<br>
set (NEWPATH "C:\\some_dir1;C:\\some_dir2;$ENV{PATH}")<br>
message("NEWPATH = ${NEWPATH}")<br>
set_tests_properties(Env_test PROPERTIES ENVIRONMENT "PATH=${NEWPATH}")<br>
endif()<br>
===== END: CMakeLists.txt ======<br>
<br>
When I run 'cmake -G "Visual Studio 8 2005"', I get the message:<br>
<br>
NEWPATH = C:\some_dir1;C:\some_dir2;C:\Program Files\CollabNet...<br>
<br>
And if I run Env_test.exe by hand, it properly prints out whatever my current PATH is.<br>
<br>
However, when I run ctest, the output contained in the LastTest.log shows:<br>
<br>
Start testing: May 12 14:03 Eastern Daylight Time<br>
----------------------------------------------------------<br>
Changing directory into: C:/cmake_bug<br>
1/1 Testing: Env_test<br>
1/1 Test: Env_test<br>
Command: "C:/cmake_bug/debug/Env_test.exe"<br>
Directory: C:/cmake_bug<br>
"Env_test" start time: May 12 14:03 Eastern Daylight Time<br>
Output:<br>
----------------------------------------------------------<br>
PATH = C:\some_dir1^M<br>
----------------------------------------------------------<br>
Test Passed.<br>
"Env_test" end time: May 12 14:03 Eastern Daylight Time<br>
"Env_test" time elapsed: 00:00:00<br>
----------------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
End testing: May 12 14:03 Eastern Daylight Time<br>
<br>
<br>
No matter what I set the PATH to in my CMakeLists.txt, the test program always dumps on the first component of the path leading up to the first semicolon in the path.<br>
<br>
So, is this operator error or a bug in the new feature? Oh, I'm running on last night's build of cmake (version 2.7.20090512).<br>
<br>
