Go through the list from the -beginning and stop once you find something that matches your tests needs, -i.e. if you will test a module and only need the configure mode use the -instructions from section 2, not 3. - -1. Your testcase can run in CMake script mode, i.e. "cmake -P something" - -Put your test in Tests/CMakeTests/ directory as a .cmake.in file. It will be -put into the test binary directory by configure_file(... @ONLY) and run from -there. Use the AddCMakeTest() macro in Tests/CMakeTests/CMakeLists.txt to add -your test to the test runs. - -2. Your test needs CMake to run in configure mode, but will not build anything - -This includes tests that will build something using try_compile() and friends, -but nothing that expects add_executable(), add_library(), or add_test() to run. - -If the test configures the project only once and it must succeed then put it -into the Tests/CMakeOnly/ directory. Create a subdirectory named like your -test and write the CMakeLists.txt you need into that subdirectory. Use the -add_CMakeOnly_test() macro from Tests/CMakeOnly/CMakeLists.txt to add your -test to the test runs. - -If the test configures the project with multiple variations and verifies -success or failure each time then put it into the Tests/RunCMake/ directory. -Read the instructions in Tests/RunCMake/CMakeLists.txt to add a test. - -3. If you are testing something from the Modules directory - -Put your test in the Tests/Modules/ directory. Create a subdirectory there -named after your test. Use the ADD_TEST_MACRO macro from Tests/CMakeLists.txt -to add your test to the test run. If you have put your stuff in -Tests/Modules/Foo then you call it using ADD_TEST_MACRO(Module.Foo Foo). - -4. You are doing other stuff. - -Find a good place ;) In doubt mail to cmake-developers@cmake.org and ask for -advise. |
