CMAKE_SKIP_TEST_ALL_DEPENDENCY

New in version 3.29.

Control whether the test target depends on the all target.

If this variable is not defined, or is set to TRUE, then the test (or RUN_TESTS) target does not depend on the all (or ALL_BUILD) target. When the test target is built, e.g., via make test, the test process will start immediately, regardless of whether the project has been completely built or not.

If CMAKE_SKIP_TEST_ALL_DEPENDENCY is explicitly set to FALSE, then the test target will depend on the all target. When the test target is built, e.g., via make test, the all target will be built first, and then the tests will run.
