Summary0015782: "--build" a generated test driver for Visual Studio 2015 fail because tests are not linked
DescriptionAfter some trial and error I believe the issue is a bug in Cmake where generating a test driver results in a project file (tests.vcxproj) that cannot be built directly with cmake (basically it don't links the tests object files to the generated test driver, so I believe the bug is in the solution/project generator).

The current workaround is using some other frameworks and manually adding test files instead of generating a test driver from a GLOB.


Steps To Reproducethe script I run from project folder are:

- mkdir build
- cd build
- cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015" ..

Building a regular target WORKS:

- cmake --build . --target libInfectorpp2 --config Release

Building ALL or test targets DO NOT WORK:
- cmake --build . --target ALL_BUILD --config Release


This is the "CONSOLE LOG" of the above scripts:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Darelbi/infectorpp2/build/1.0.38 [^]

this is the github project (where CMakeLists.txt is located):
https://github.com/Darelbi/Infectorpp2 [^]

No need to download the project, the console log already shows the log.
Additional InformationI need to get "TESTS.EXE" executable build from console using Cmake and the "--build" build command because I'm using a Continuos Integration server and hence I need to build the library and the tests executable at each commit, and I also need to run tests at each commit.

Actually there's no valid target for building the tests executable.

Your test functions have the wrong type:

int mockSharedPtr(int , char** )

but:

unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl mockSharedPtr(int,char * * const)"

Thanks that's fixing the issue, I'm guessing why wrong signature works with GCC/CLANG and why most tutorials about test drivers do not use "const".

For example fix this documentation where "const" is not mentioned:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/create_test_sourcelist.html [^]
