REQUIRED_FILES¶
List of files required to run the test. The filenames are relative to the
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:
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 FIXTURES_REQUIRED
).
