[CMake] Fwd: generating CTest tests

[Alex H]

I am going to take an example from your a snippet test in your previous example:
ADD_TEST(XMLExport0              ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/BasicTest +XMLEXP 0)
ADD_TEST(XMLExport1              ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/BasicTest +XMLEXP 1)
ADD_TEST(XMLExport2              ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/BasicTest +XMLEXP 2)
ADD_TEST(XMLExport3              ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/BasicTest +XMLEXP 3)
ADD_TEST(XMLExport4              ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/BasicTest +XMLEXP 4)
ADD_TEST(XMLExport5              ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/BasicTest +XMLEXP 5)
ADD_TEST(XMLExport6              ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH}/BasicTest +XMLEXP 6)if  this is put inside the CMakeLists.txt then if I want to run it as ctest -R testpagethen inside testing I should have an implementation of the test XMLExport0..up to XMLExport6??What language should testpage be written in? I guess that's the question.. I am confused what to put inside testpage, an example would help.

Hello,
So where do we specify/put in the CMakeLists.txt where test1 is expected to fail or pass? 
How does CTest knows this...
If your program returns a 0, it passes. If it does not, it fails.

If you want to invert this logic, set the test property "WILL_FAIL".If you want to base the pass/fail value on test output, set the test property "PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION" or "FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION" : if the output matches the regex, it passes or fails accordingly.

i.e.:set_property(TEST test1 PROPERTY WILL_FAIL TRUE)would invert the pass/fail logic
see also:$ cmake --help-property WILL_FAIL
$ cmake --help-property PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
$ cmake --help-property FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION
$ cmake --help-command set_property

 
Just to clarify the add_test command should be put inside a CMakeLists.txt?
Yes, that's correct.
 
What if I want to invokectest using the following  command:
ctest -R testpage
What should testpage have inside of it?

testpage should be the name of a test added using add_test. It can have *anything you want to test* inside of it....
ctest -R testpage will execute the test as specified in the add_test command.


HTH,David
