[CMake] How to set build configuration when using CDash test scheduling?

[Nils Gladitz]

I'm using CDash's (1.8.2) test scheduling and have trouble with a few 
tests added with the newer "add_test(NAME ..." signature.
Tests added with the new signature are "Not Run" and I get the following 
test output:

     Test not available without configuration. (Missing "-C <config>"?)

On a client machine ctest (2.8.6 on windows with Visual Studio 2010) 
runs in script mode polling for new test jobs from my CDash instance; 
jobs are run with different configurations.
The build configuration gets picked up properly by the build (I assume 
"ctest_build" - I can see files in the Debug/Release output directory as 
configured via CDash).

What do I have to do so the test command (I assume) "ctest_test" picks 
this up as well?

I use the preconfigured client script with an additional 
"ctest_empty_binary_directory" before the initial cache gets written:

     # From this line down, this script may be customized
     # on the Clients tab of the CDash createProject page.
     #
     if(JOB_MODULE)
       set(SOURCE_NAME ${JOB_MODULE})
       if(JOB_TAG)
         set(SOURCE_NAME ${SOURCE_NAME}-${JOB_TAG})
       endif()
     else()
       set(SOURCE_NAME ${PROJECT_NAME})
       if(JOB_BUILDNAME_SUFFIX)
         set(SOURCE_NAME ${SOURCE_NAME}-${JOB_BUILDNAME_SUFFIX})
       endif()
     endif()

     set(CTEST_SOURCE_NAME ${SOURCE_NAME})
     set(CTEST_BINARY_NAME ${SOURCE_NAME}-bin)
     set(CTEST_DASHBOARD_ROOT "${CLIENT_BASE_DIRECTORY}")
     set(CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY 
"${CTEST_DASHBOARD_ROOT}/${CTEST_SOURCE_NAME}")
     set(CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY 
"${CTEST_DASHBOARD_ROOT}/${CTEST_BINARY_NAME}")
     set(CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR "${JOB_CMAKE_GENERATOR}")
     set(CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION "${JOB_BUILD_CONFIGURATION}")

     set(CTEST_SITE "${CLIENT_SITE}")
     set(CTEST_BUILD_NAME 
"${JOB_OS_NAME}-${JOB_OS_VERSION}-${JOB_OS_BITS}-${JOB_COMPILER_NAME}-${JOB_COMPILER_VERSION}")
     if(JOB_BUILDNAME_SUFFIX)
       set(CTEST_BUILD_NAME ${CTEST_BUILD_NAME}-${JOB_BUILDNAME_SUFFIX})
     endif()

     if(NOT EXISTS "${CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY}")
       set(CTEST_CHECKOUT_COMMAND "svn co ${JOB_REPOSITORY} ${SOURCE_NAME}")
     endif()
     set(CTEST_UPDATE_COMMAND "svn")

     ctest_empty_binary_directory("${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")

     file(WRITE "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}/CMakeCache.txt" 
"${JOB_INITIAL_CACHE}")

     ctest_start(${JOB_BUILDTYPE})
     ctest_update(SOURCE ${CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY})
     ctest_configure(BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}" RETURN_VALUE res)
     ctest_build(BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}" RETURN_VALUE res)
     ctest_test(BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}" RETURN_VALUE res)
     # The following lines are used to associate a build id with this job.
     set(CTEST_DROP_SITE ${JOB_DROP_SITE})
     set(CTEST_DROP_LOCATION ${JOB_DROP_LOCATION})
     ctest_submit(RETURN_VALUE res)

     message("DONE")

Thanks in advance
