As reported in the BUG #22524, mismatched parenthesis reported differently for `while()` and `if()`. The problem was in the double loop (over "handlers" and the arguments), where the outer loop didn't check the result of the running handler.
This directory contains tests that run CMake to configure a project
but do not actually build anything. To add a test:
1. Add a subdirectory named for the test, say ``<Test>/``.
2. In ``./CMakeLists.txt`` call ``add_RunCMake_test`` and pass the
test directory name ``<Test>``.
3. Create script ``<Test>/RunCMakeTest.cmake`` in the directory containing::
include(RunCMake)
run_cmake(SubTest1)
...
run_cmake(SubTestN)
where ``SubTest1`` through ``SubTestN`` are sub-test names each
corresponding to an independent CMake run and project configuration.
One may also add calls of the form::
run_cmake_command(SubTestI ${CMAKE_COMMAND} ...)
to fully customize the test case command-line.
Alternatively, if the test is to cover running ``ctest -S`` then use::
include(RunCTest)
run_ctest(SubTest1)
...
run_ctest(SubTestN)
and create ``test.cmake.in``, ``CTestConfig.cmake.in``, and
``CMakeLists.txt.in`` files to be configured for each case.
4. Create file ``<Test>/CMakeLists.txt`` in the directory containing::
cmake_minimum_required(...)
project(${RunCMake_TEST} NONE) # or languages needed
include(${RunCMake_TEST}.cmake)
where ``${RunCMake_TEST}`` is literal. A value for ``RunCMake_TEST``
will be passed to CMake by the ``run_cmake`` macro when running each
sub-test.
5. Create a ``<Test>/<SubTest>.cmake`` file for each sub-test named
above containing the actual test code. Optionally create files
containing expected test results:
``<SubTest>-result.txt``
Regex matching expected process result, if not ``0``
``<SubTest>-stdout.txt``
Regex matching expected stdout content
``<SubTest>-stderr.txt``
Regex matching expected stderr content, if not ``^$``
``<SubTest>-check.cmake``
Custom result check.
Note that when a specific platform expects differing stdout or stderr that
can be done by adding a platform specific output file. These follow the
naming convention of:
``<SubTest>-stdout-<platform_lower_case>.txt``
``<SubTest>-stderr-<platform_lower_case>.txt``
Note that trailing newlines will be stripped from actual and expected
test output before matching against the stdout and stderr expressions.
The code in ``<SubTest>-check.cmake`` may use variables
``RunCMake_TEST_SOURCE_DIR``
Top of test source tree
``RunCMake_TEST_BINARY_DIR``
Top of test binary tree
and an failure must store a message in ``RunCMake_TEST_FAILED``.
To speed up local testing, you can choose to run only a subset of
``run_cmake()`` tests in a ``RunCMakeTest.cmake`` script by using the
``RunCMake_TEST_FILTER`` environment variable. If this variable is set,
it is treated as a regular expression, and any tests whose names don't
match the regular expression are not run. For example::
$ RunCMake_TEST_FILTER="^example" ctest -R '^RunCMake\.Example$'
This will only run subtests in ``RunCMake.Example`` that start with
``example``.
