[CMake] CDash dashboard fail: Errors/Warning/Tests counts all zero?

[kent williams]

I'm using what is a pretty naive script that does the actual
submission with 'make Nightly' I'll include it at the end of the post.
 Using 'ctest -D Nightly'
has the same result.

The quotes on the site and build names are in the
CTestConfiguration.ini  They are not quoted in CMakeCache.txt

The big catch with our build system is that our actual project is
built as part of a 'Superbuild' based on the Slicer3 superbuild
system. So our actual application that we want to text is actually an
ExternalProject with respect to the top level build, which also builds
ITK, VTK, FFTW, etc.

So in the script, I let the monster build run to completion.  Then I
go into the build directory for our application, and run 'make
Nightly'  This, as a matter of course, doesn't end up building much,
since the project's already been built by the monster as an
ExternalProject.  The main thing was to run our regression tests.

And this isn't just one project; we have a ton of them that do their
own, standalone builds that appear to be running more or less
normally.

I'm waiting for my boss to give me full access to our CDash server so
I can look at the logs and configuration, but I just read through all
the available CDash documentation and didn't see anything that
addressed this issue.
