REQUIRED_FILES -------------- List of files required to run the test. The filenames are relative to the test :prop_test:`WORKING_DIRECTORY` unless an absolute path is specified. If set to a list of files, the test will not be run unless all of the files exist. Examples ~~~~~~~~ Suppose that ``test.txt`` is created by test ``baseTest`` and ``none.txt`` does not exist: .. code-block:: cmake add_test(NAME baseTest ...) # Assumed to create test.txt add_test(NAME fileTest ...) # The following ensures that if baseTest is successful, test.txt will # have been created before fileTest is run set_tests_properties(fileTest PROPERTIES DEPENDS baseTest REQUIRED_FILES test.txt ) add_test(NAME notRunTest ...) # The following makes notRunTest depend on two files. Nothing creates # the none.txt file, so notRunTest will fail with status "Not Run". set_tests_properties(notRunTest PROPERTIES REQUIRED_FILES "test.txt;none.txt" ) The above example demonstrates how ``REQUIRED_FILES`` works, but it is not the most robust way to implement test ordering with failure detection. For that, test fixtures are a better alternative (see :prop_test:`FIXTURES_REQUIRED`).
