add_test -------- Add a test to the project to be run by :manual:`ctest(1)`. .. code-block:: cmake add_test(NAME COMMAND [...] [CONFIGURATIONS ...] [WORKING_DIRECTORY ]) Adds a test called ````. The test name may not contain spaces, quotes, or other characters special in CMake syntax. The options are: ``COMMAND`` Specify the test command-line. If ```` specifies an executable target (created by :command:`add_executable`) it will automatically be replaced by the location of the executable created at build time. ``CONFIGURATIONS`` Restrict execution of the test only to the named configurations. ``WORKING_DIRECTORY`` Set the :prop_test:`WORKING_DIRECTORY` test property to specify the working directory in which to execute the test. If not specified the test will be run with the current working directory set to the build directory corresponding to the current source directory. The given test command is expected to exit with code ``0`` to pass and non-zero to fail, or vice-versa if the :prop_test:`WILL_FAIL` test property is set. Any output written to stdout or stderr will be captured by :manual:`ctest(1)` but does not affect the pass/fail status unless the :prop_test:`PASS_REGULAR_EXPRESSION` or :prop_test:`FAIL_REGULAR_EXPRESSION` test property is used. The ``COMMAND`` and ``WORKING_DIRECTORY`` options may use "generator expressions" with the syntax ``$<...>``. See the :manual:`cmake-generator-expressions(7)` manual for available expressions. Example usage: .. code-block:: cmake add_test(NAME mytest COMMAND testDriver --config $ --exe $) This creates a test ``mytest`` whose command runs a ``testDriver`` tool passing the configuration name and the full path to the executable file produced by target ``myexe``. .. note:: CMake will generate tests only if the :command:`enable_testing` command has been invoked. The :module:`CTest` module invokes the command automatically when the ``BUILD_TESTING`` option is ``ON``. --------------------------------------------------------------------- .. code-block:: cmake add_test( [...]) Add a test called ```` with the given command-line. Unlike the above ``NAME`` signature no transformation is performed on the command-line to support target names or generator expressions.
