On Mac OS X, I want to build a graphical test application to be added as
a test in a project configured by CMake. However, I am unable to add
this application as a test in CMake because it Mac OS X builds the
program as an application bundle, and CMake is unable to find the
correct path to the executable to run it.
On Mac OS X, an application bundle is basically a directory structure.
Say the test application is called TestRunner, the root of the
application bundle would be called TestRunner.app. The path to the
executable with in the bundle would be:
TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/TestRunner
I cannot correctly specify the path to CTest when using the ADD_TEST
command in CMake. I tried something like:
ADD_TEST(TestRunner "TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/TestRunner")
However, CTest never looks in the right directory to find the
executable. It will produce output like the follow when trying to
execute the test:
1/ 1 Testing TestRunner Could not find executable
TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/TestRunner
Looked in the following places:
TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/TestRunner
TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/TestRunner
TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/Debug/TestRunner
TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/Debug/TestRunner
Debug/TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/TestRunner
Debug/TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/TestRunner
Unable to find executable: TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/TestRunner
For the way I have the project configured, the correct path for Debug
version of the executable would be:
${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/build/Debug/TestRunner.app/Content/MacOS/TestRunner
What can I do that will allow the CTest application to run the test
exectuable?
