Since commit v3.9.0-rc1~230^2~2 (ninja: break unnecessary target
dependencies, 2017-04-17) we unconditionally generate a phony edge for
target ordering. It is needed in case a later target depends on it.
However, if the phony edge has no inputs then `ninja -d explain` prints:
ninja explain: output ... of phony edge with no inputs doesn't exist
Furthermore the phony edge's output is considered dirty and can cause
dependents to be incorrectly considered dirty. Avoid this by always
generating at least one input to the target ordering phony edges.
If we have no real dependencies just use a path that always exists.
Fixes: #17942
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``.
