FIXTURES_SETUP -------------- Specifies a list of fixtures for which the test is to be treated as a setup test. Fixture setup tests are ordinary tests with all of the usual test functionality. Setting the ``FIXTURES_SETUP`` property for a test has two primary effects: - CTest will ensure the test executes before any other test which lists the fixture(s) in its :prop_test:`FIXTURES_REQUIRED` property. - If CTest is asked to run only a subset of tests (e.g. using regular expressions or the ``--rerun-failed`` option) and the setup test is not in the set of tests to run, it will automatically be added if any tests in the set require any fixture listed in ``FIXTURES_SETUP``. A setup test can have multiple fixtures listed in its ``FIXTURES_SETUP`` property. It will execute only once for the whole CTest run, not once for each fixture. A fixture can also have more than one setup test defined. If there are multiple setup tests for a fixture, projects can control their order with the usual :prop_test:`DEPENDS` test property if necessary. A setup test is allowed to require other fixtures, but not any fixture listed in its ``FIXTURES_SETUP`` property. For example: .. code-block:: cmake # Ok: dependent fixture is different to setup set_tests_properties(setupFoo PROPERTIES FIXTURES_SETUP Foo FIXTURES_REQUIRED Bar ) # Error: cannot require same fixture as setup set_tests_properties(setupFoo PROPERTIES FIXTURES_SETUP Foo FIXTURES_REQUIRED Foo ) If any of a fixture's setup tests fail, none of the tests listing that fixture in its :prop_test:`FIXTURES_REQUIRED` property will be run. Cleanup tests will, however, still be executed. See :prop_test:`FIXTURES_REQUIRED` for a more complete discussion of how to use test fixtures.
