create_test_sourcelist

Create a test driver program that links together many small tests into a single executable. This is useful when building static executables with large libraries to shrink the total required size.

create_test_sourcelist(<sourceListName> <driverName> <test>... <options>...)

Generate a test driver source file from a list of individual test sources and provide a combined list of sources that can be built as an executable.

The options are:

<sourceListName>

The name of a variable in which to store the list of source files needed to build the test driver. The list will contain the <test>... sources and the generated <driverName> source.

Изменено в версии 3.29: The test driver source is listed by absolute path in the build tree. Previously it was listed only as <driverName>.

<driverName>

Name of the test driver source file to be generated into the build tree. The source file will contain a main() program entry point that dispatches to whatever test is named on the command line.

<test>...

Test source files to be added to the driver binary. Each test source file must have a function in it that is the same name as the file with the extension removed. For example, a foo.cxx test source might contain:

int foo(int argc, char** argv)
EXTRA_INCLUDE <header>

Specify a header file to #include in the generated test driver source.

FUNCTION <function>

Specify a function to be called with pointers to argc and argv. The function may be provided in the EXTRA_INCLUDE header:

void function(int* pargc, char*** pargv)

This can be used to add extra command line processing to each test.

Additionally, some CMake variables affect test driver generation:

CMAKE_TESTDRIVER_BEFORE_TESTMAIN

Code to be placed directly before calling each test's function.

CMAKE_TESTDRIVER_AFTER_TESTMAIN

Code to be placed directly after the call to each test's function.

The generated test driver supports the following command-line arguments:

<name>

Run the test with the exact name <name> (case-insensitive).

-R <substr>

Run the first test whose name contains <substr> (case-insensitive).

-A [<skip_test>...]

Добавлено в версии 3.21: Run all tests and print results in TAP format.

Any additional arguments after -A are interpreted as exact test names to skip.

-N

Добавлено в версии 4.4: List all available test names (one per line) and exit.

Example

create_test_sourcelist(SRCS main.c test1.c test2.c)
add_executable(MyTests ${SRCS})
discover_tests(COMMAND MyTests
  DISCOVERY_ARGS -N
  DISCOVERY_MATCH "^(.+)$"
  TEST_NAME "${PROJECT_NAME}.\\1"
  TEST_ARGS "\\1"
)
