purely for order of execution (i.e. it is really just a *run after*

with successful completion is required (see :prop_test:`FIXTURES_REQUIRED`).

REQUIRED_FILES

-List of files required to run the test.
+List of files required to run the test. The filenames are relative to the
+test :prop_test:`WORKING_DIRECTORY` unless an absolute path is specified.
If set to a list of files, the test will not be run unless all of the
files exist.
+
+Examples
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Suppose that ``test.txt`` is created by test ``baseTest`` and ``none.txt``
+does not exist:
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+ add_test(NAME baseTest ...) # Assumed to create test.txt
+ add_test(NAME fileTest ...)
+
+ # The following ensures that if baseTest is successful, test.txt will
+ # have been created before fileTest is run
+ set_tests_properties(fileTest PROPERTIES
+ DEPENDS baseTest
+ REQUIRED_FILES test.txt
+ )
+
+ add_test(NAME notRunTest ...)
+
+ # The following makes notRunTest depend on two files. Nothing creates
+ # the none.txt file, so notRunTest will fail with status "Not Run".
+ set_tests_properties(notRunTest PROPERTIES
+ REQUIRED_FILES "test.txt;none.txt"
+ )
+
+The above example demonstrates how ``REQUIRED_FILES`` works, but it is not the
+most robust way to implement test ordering with failure detection. For that,
+test fixtures are a better alternative (see :prop_test:`FIXTURES_REQUIRED`).
