To properly test some functionality, tests may rely on not clearing
things like time stamps between cmake invocations. The RunCMake
infrastructure clears the build directory by default anyway, and
tests may individually ask for that to be disabled where needed.
The line being removed here was originally added to assist with
manually re-running individual tests locally outside the control of
RunCMake. That is no longer appropriate.
The -direct variants of the RunCMake.FetchContent tests were
meant to be using the same result, stdout and stderr files as the
non-direct tests. The -direct tests were specified in the wrong way
for that and ended up using no files at all, so they weren't testing
the full set of expected conditions. Use the test variant feature
provided by the RunCMake infrastructure instead, which is the
proper way to handle this sort of scenario.
The file(MAKE_DIRECTORY) implementation checks whether a path is
allowed to be written to before it checks if it already exists. For the
scenario where a SOURCE_DIR is an existing directory within the main
project's source directory, this triggers a fatal error if
CMAKE_DISABLE_SOURCE_CHANGES is set to true for ExternalProject,
and some FetchContent scenarios. Therefore, add an explicit check for
existence first to avoid making such error-triggering calls.

Add a `TLS_VERSION` option and honor `CMAKE_TLS_VERSION` variables.
Also map the version to Git options as we already do for `TLS_VERIFY`.
Issue: #25701
The sub-build should never try to use a toolchain file. The toolchain file
may itself be getting downloaded by FetchContent. If the
CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE environment variable is set, CMake uses it to
initialize the CMake variable of the same name. We need to explicitly
clear them before the first project call of the sub-build.
Fixes: #24535
The CMAKE_VERIFY_INTERFACE_HEADER_SETS variable is intended to
be under the control of the user. It doesn't discriminate between
header sets defined in the main project and those defined by
dependencies brought into the build directly via FetchContent.
Developers will usually only be interested in verifying the main project's
header sets, not those from dependencies.
Make the variable effectively only enable header set verification of the
main project by turning it off during FetchContent_MakeAvailable() calls.
The user still has variables like CMAKE_PROJECT_INCLUDE and
CMAKE_PROJECT_<projectName>_INCLUDE available to them if they
want to enable verification of all or specific dependencies respectively.
Fixes: #23808
CMAKE_TLS_VERIFY, CMAKE_TLS_CAINFO, CMAKE_NETRC and
CMAKE_NETRC_FILE are now passed through to the underlying
ExternalProject sub-build. Previously, they were silently ignored.
Fixes: #22144
Refactoring of the ExternalProject and FetchContent modules moved
the commands into CMake scripts. This broke custom commands that
used shell redirection or special build tool variables of the form
$(MakeVar). Undo the sequence of commits that performed this
refactoring and follow-up fixes associated with it.
The following commits are reverted by this change:
4f3d1abbb4 (ExternalProject: Refactor pre-configure steps to support
no-target uses, 2021-02-05)
17e5516e60 (FetchContent: Invoke steps directly and avoid a separate
sub-build, 2021-01-29)
bd876f3849 (FetchContent: Restore patch command support,
2021-02-18)
404cddb7bb (ExternalProject: Fix misuse of IS_NEWER_THAN in
timestamp checks, 2021-02-21)
b0da671243 (FetchContent: Don't update timestamps if files don't
change, 2021-02-18)
Fixes: #21892
The refactoring in 17e5516e60 (FetchContent: Invoke steps directly and
avoid a separate sub-build, 2021-01-29) uses a different way of writing
out the step scripts and updating time stamps when steps are executed.
That inadvertently always wrote out the scripts for custom commands,
even when the contents didn't change. This caused their timestamp to
always be updated, resulting in those steps always being seen as
out-of-date and needing to be re-executed.
The way timestamps were checked to determine whether to re-execute
a step also did not adequately account for file systems which only have
second-resolution timestamps. The IS_NEWER_THAN if condition also
returns true when timestamps are the same, so one needs to use the
negative form to get a true "is newer than" test.
ExternalProject is not susceptible to this problem because it uses
file(GENERATE) to write out the script files and that only updates the file's
timestamp if the contents change. It also mostly leaves timestamp
checking to the build tool.
The refactoring in 17e5516e60 (FetchContent: Invoke steps directly and
avoid a separate sub-build, 2021-01-29) contained a typo which resulted
in any PATCH_COMMAND being ignored. Fix the typo and add a test case
that would have caught the regression.
The cost of setting up and executing a separate sub-build to do the
download, update and patch steps required for FetchContent population
can be significant with some platforms and CMake generators. Avoid the
sub-build altogether by invoking the step scripts directly.
Previously, if no generator was set (e.g. population was being done in
script mode), a generator needed to be available on the default PATH.
Since we no longer use a sub-build, this restriction is also now gone.
Fixes: #21703
A main scenario where this is needed is when a git operation
needs the password to a private key and asks for it on the
console. Without this change, such operations can appear to
hang indefinitely with no prompt if QUIET is in effect (which it
is by default).
Another scenario this addresses is when progress of a
download or update should be shown. Without this change,
all such progress is buffered with some generators and will
only be shown at the end, which defeats the purpose of logging
any progress to begin with.
