The change in commit a5dd159990 (Tests: Fix RunCMake.try_compile
CxxStandard case on MSVC, 2017-09-22, v3.10.0-rc1~63^2) introduced use
of `if()` conditions not supported until CMake 3.7, so while it was
intended to restore support for CMake versions prior to 3.9, it actually
only did so for 3.7 and 3.8. Backport the logic to work with CMake 3.1.
Fixes: #18987
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 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``.
