[CMake] CMakeLists.txt: How to print a message if ctest fails?

[Matějů Miroslav, Ing.]

Hi Muhammad,

You need to add this code to a separate CTest script (CTestScript.cmake, for example) and then run it using ctest -S CTestScript.cmake. Since the wiki page I linked yesterday provides only some complex examples, I am sending the key part of my CTest script. As you can see, its operation strongly depends on environment variables (some of them are provided by Windows). You’ll probably need to remove most of my if’s.

set(CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY "$ENV{SCRIPT_FOLDER}")
set(CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY "$ENV{BINARY_PROJECT_FOLDER}")

set(CTEST_SITE          $ENV{COMPUTERNAME})
set(CTEST_BUILD_NAME    $ENV{TEST_CASE_NAME})

ctest_start()

ctest_configure(RETURN_VALUE configure_failed)

if($ENV{DO_UPDATE})
  ctest_update()
endif($ENV{DO_UPDATE})

if($ENV{DO_BUILD})
  ctest_build(RETURN_VALUE build_failed)
endif($ENV{DO_BUILD})

if   (($ENV{DO_TEST}) AND NOT (configure_failed OR build_failed))
  ctest_test(RETURN_VALUE test_failed)
endif(($ENV{DO_TEST}) AND NOT (configure_failed OR build_failed))

if($ENV{DO_DASHBOARD})
  ctest_submit()
endif($ENV{DO_DASHBOARD})

if   (configure_failed OR build_failed OR test_failed)
  message(FATAL_ERROR "Test ${CTEST_BUILD_NAME} failed.")  # sets return value to -1
endif(configure_failed OR build_failed OR test_failed)

Best regards,
Miroslav

Hi Miroslav,

Thank you for replying! I added this in my root CMakeLists.txt, purposely made the ctest's test fail but didn't get the output message.
Is this script suppose to be added inside CMakeLists.txt? Or am I doing this incorrectly?

Thanks again,

Hi Muhammad,
you can use a CTest script, see https://cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Scripting_Of_CTest for details. I use the following code in my CTest script:

if(configure_failed OR build_failed OR test_failed)
    message(FATAL_ERROR "Test ${CTEST_BUILD_NAME} failed.")
endif()

Best regards,
Miroslav

Is there a way I can setup CMakeLists.txt to print a message if ctest tests fail? For example:

cmake ..
make
ctest // fails
message output: Please contact xyz at mail.com<mailto:xyz at mail.com> to resolve testing problems.
​Note the message output is not for cmake but for ctest.​
