[cmake-developers] CTest custom HTML

[Charles Huet]

Hi,

to customize our test results, we developped a small test wrapper that
outputs some HTML markup (mostly useful to display images, since some of
our tests compare images with ImageMagick).
However, this does not work since CMake 3.3 because of the refactoring of
ctest to use cmXMLWriter, because cmXMLWriter is smart and wants to output
correct XML, and thus escapes everything.

While I completely understand and applaud the motivation and work behind
cmXMLWriter, it annoys me that we cannot have our custom reporting anymore.

Sadly, I have no idea how to have both the correctness provided by
cmXMLWriter and the flexibility of outputting custom HTML via the test's
stdout.

How could this be done with CMake > 3.3 ?
If it needs additional development on the CTest side I would of course try
and accomplish it, if anyone has an idea.

Thanks
