CMP0145

New in version 3.27.

The Dart and FindDart modules are removed.

These modules were added very early in CMake's development to support driving tests with a "DART" tool, but DART has not been distributed or maintained for many years. Projects would include(Dart) to use it, and the Dart module would run find_package(Dart) internally. Since ctest(1) was created, the Dart module has just been a compatibility shim that finds Dart to support some legacy functionality and then forwards to the CTest module.

CMake 3.27 and above prefer to not provide the Dart or FindDart modules. This policy provides compatibility for projects that have not been ported away from them. Projects using the Dart module should be updated to use the CTest module directly.

The OLD behavior of this policy is for include(Dart) and find_package(Dart) to load the deprecated modules. The NEW behavior is for uses of the modules to fail as if they do not exist.

This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.27. It may be set by cmake_policy() or cmake_minimum_required(). If it is not set, CMake warns, and uses OLD behavior.

Note

The OLD behavior of a policy is deprecated by definition and may be removed in a future version of CMake.
