Summary0011368: Let CTest return with an error status when compiler errors occur
DescriptionCurrently, a command like 'ctest -D ExperimentalBuild' returns with exit status 0, even if compiler errors occurred. This is IMO caused by the fact that 'make -i' is used to build the code. See http://www.mail-archive.com/cmake@cmake.org/msg32294.html [^] for a discussion on this issue.

I would like ctest to return with a non-zero exit status when compiler errors have occurred. It would really help in situations where, e.g., 'ctest -D ExperimentalBuild' is used in a script.

 As I already said on the mailing list I would like to keep "make -i" for various reasons.

Also, there seems to be an issue with the error parser which fails to detect any compiler errors. If that was fixed, CTest could exit with a non-zero return value even if the build process did.

 To preserve existing behavior, running ctest with -D or -S should do what's it been doing by default. We could, however, add a "--propagate-tool-errors" (or something with a better name!) command line flag to ctest that would change the behavior in this way.

 Not enough time to get a fix for this into CMake 2.8.4 -- deferring until later.

 Any chance that this will be fixed?
Is there any workaround to prevent starting of testing if the build failed?
