Summary

0012623: ctest_build() with Visual Studio 2008 Generator calling wrong Solution name.

Description

If configured to build a Visual Studio 2008 Solution the ctest_build() command fails if the executable target name of the project doesn't match the projects name set by the project() cmake command.

CTest calls:
VCExpress.exe ${Targetname}.sln /build Release /project ALL_BUILD

instead of
VCExpress.exe ${Projectname}.sln /build Release /project ALL_BUILD

However the name of the solution that must be given on the commandline is set to the name given by project() in CMakeLists.txt, so calling VisualStudio with the name of the target is a bug.

Notes
(0027982) doob (reporter) 2011-12-15 05:43	There is a little mistake in the originally report. Acutally ctest_build() uses the name configured as the project name for the dashboard in CTestConfig.cmake as the solution name when calling VisualStudio instead of the solution name configured by the project() command in the CMakeLists.txt of the project. I.e. ctest confuses CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME with CTEST_PROJECT_NAME. CTest calls: VCExpress.exe ${CTEST_PROJECT_NAME}.sln /build Release /project ALL_BUILD instead of VCExpress.exe ${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}.sln /build Release /project ALL_BUILD

(0030337) David Cole (manager) 2012-08-11 21:09	Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog. (The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...) If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^] It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.
