In commit 9d44a77454 (find_*: Explicitly normalize found paths as they
exist on disk, 2024-10-17, v4.0.0-rc1~597^2~1), we removed path
normalization from the internal `cmSearchPath::AddPathInternal` helper.
Most call sites were updated to normalize input paths first, but search
paths derived from `<PackageName>_ROOT` CMake variables are no longer
normalized. Instead we normalize the path to the file found after
searching.
When `find_package` "config" mode considers a candidate CMake package
configuration file, normalize its path before loading the adjacent
package version file so that the latter is loaded by absolute path.
Otherwise `cmMakefile::ReadDependentFile` interprets a relative path
with respect to the current source directory rather than the current
working directory.
Fixes: #27279
CMake Tests Directory
*********************
This directory contains the CMake test suite.
See also the `CMake Testing Guide`_ and the `CMake Source Code Guide`_.
.. _`CMake Testing Guide`: ../Help/dev/testing.rst
.. _`CMake Source Code Guide`: ../Help/dev/source.rst
Many tests exist as immediate subdirectories, but some tests
are organized as follows.
* ``CMakeLib/``:
Source code, used for tests, that links to the ``CMakeLib`` library
defined over in ``Source/``.
* ``CMakeOnly/``:
Deprecated. Tests that run CMake to generate a project but not build it.
Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.
* ``Find*/``:
Tests for specific find modules that can only be run on machines with
the corresponding packages installed. They are enabled in
``CMakeLists.txt`` by undocumented options used on CI builds.
* ``Module/``:
Tests for specific CMake modules.
* ``RunCMake/``:
Tests that run CMake and/or other tools while precisely checking
their return code and stdout/stderr content. Useful for testing
error cases and diagnostic output.
See `RunCMake/README.rst`_.
