Summary0006788: CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES cannot be set in CMakeLists.txt without rerunning cmake.
DescriptionVisual Studio generator requires the value of CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES to be present in cache when CMake runs; it is not possible to set CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES in CMakeLists.txt (without rerunning CMake). Example:

project(foo)
set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;Release;FooBar" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)
add_executable(foo foo.c)

Running "cmake" once to generate project files will not cause the "FooBar" configuration to be included.

Running "cmake" again, or specifying the value on the command line, works.

You just need to move the set before the project command:

set(CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES "Debug;Release;FooBar" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)
project(foo)
