The "extra" generators were created in CMake's early years to provide support for users of specific IDEs by directly generating their project files alongside make or ninja files. Nowadays the file-api provides a more generic, maintainable, well-tested, and robust way for IDEs to view CMake project build trees. Deprecate the legacy "extra" generators to encourage the corresponding IDEs to use the file-api. Fixes: #19090
CMake Tests Directory ********************* This directory contains the CMake test suite. See also the `CMake Source Code Guide`_. .. _`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 Superseded by ``Tests/RunCMake/``.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.
