- Do not try to guess the flags to pass to "cmake -E tar" ("z" or not) based
on the extension. It is not necessary, as the archive type is autodetected
since we switched to libarchive.
- Add new tests for .tar.zst archives, which would fail without the change.
Fixes: #25062
CMake 3.27 deprecates compatibility with CMake < 3.5. Update tests that
do not cover older interfaces to avoid the deprecation warning.
Follow the pattern from:
* commit 7b07ccdd2b (Tests/*Only: Update cmake_minimum_required versions,
2020-06-15, v3.19.0-rc1~629^2~1)
* commit 72e7c45e98 (Tests: Bump CMake minimum required in tests to 2.8.12,
2020-12-22, v3.20.0-rc1~224^2)
* commit f6b4db365a (Tests: bump cmake_minimum_required version to 2.8.12,
2021-04-04, v3.21.0-rc1~372^2)
Also remove explicit `cmake_policy` settings made redundant by the
version.
Since 3.19, CMake generates a deprecation warning when using a minimum
version less than 2.8.12. This eliminates those warnings generated
during tests, which are typically hidden from the user and developer but
are being generated nonetheless.
The ExternalProject module cannot be implemented in the Xcode "new build
system" without using CMP0114's NEW behavior. When configuring for that
build system, warn if the policy is not set to NEW and use NEW behavior
anyway.
Most steps support the logging into a file but the patch command is a
notable exception. This commit adds the LOG_PATCH options that acts as
the other LOG_* options.
When `UPDATE_DISCONNECTED` is enabled the post-update steps
unconditionally depend on a `skip-update` step instead of `update`.
Make `skip-update` available whenever `UPDATE_DISCONNECTED` is enabled,
whether there is a real update step or not.
Closes: #16428
If this option is enabled, the test step is created with the
EXCLUDE_FROM_MAIN option, and if TEST_BEFORE_INSTALL is enabled, the
install step does not depend on the test step.
This means that the test step is never executed, unless the test target
is explicitly created by calling ExternalProject_Add_StepTarget, or by
passing it with the STEP_TARGETS option, or with the EP_STEP_TARGETS
directory property.
This argument allows to set default arguments that are written in the
initial cache file, but that are not forced, and therefore allows the
user to change these values later (CMAKE_ARGS and CMAKE_CACHE_ARGS
always overwrite the values).
Also add some documentation to explain the differences between these 3
arguments.
Extend ExternalProjectLocal test to cover CMAKE_CACHE_DEFAULT_ARGS.
Move the subtests that test with local projects into their own test. The reason
is that on slower or crowded machines the test may reach the limit of 25
minutes and therefore fail while it would pass if it was given enough time.
The split is roughly 3:1 with regard to the execution time, with the new
ExternalProjectLocal test being the faster one.
