CMake Testing Process ********************* The following documents the process for running integration testing builds. See documentation on `CMake Development`_ for more information. .. _`CMake Development`: README.rst CMake Dashboard Scripts ======================= The *integration testing* step of the `CMake Review Process`_ uses a set of testing machines that follow an integration branch on their own schedule to drive testing and submit results to the `CMake CDash Page`_. Anyone is welcome to provide testing machines in order to help keep support for their platforms working. The `CMake Dashboard Scripts Repository`_ provides CTest scripts to drive nightly, continuous, and experimental testing of CMake. Use the following commands to set up a new integration testing client: .. code-block:: console $ mkdir -p ~/Dashboards $ cd ~/Dashboards $ git clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/dashboard-scripts.git CMakeScripts $ cd CMakeScripts The `cmake_common.cmake`_ script contains comments at the top with instructions to set up a testing client. As it instructs, create a CTest script with local settings and include ``cmake_common.cmake``. .. _`CMake Review Process`: review.rst .. _`CMake CDash Page`: https://open.cdash.org/index.php?project=CMake .. _`CMake Dashboard Scripts Repository`: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/dashboard-scripts .. _`cmake_common.cmake`: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/dashboard-scripts/blob/master/cmake_common.cmake Nightly Start Time ------------------ The ``cmake_common.cmake`` script expects its includer to be run from a nightly scheduled task (cron job). Schedule such tasks for sometime after ``1:00am UTC``, the time at which our nightly testing branches fast-forward.
