Summary0013661: If CTest terminates via abort() , it displays a message box waiting for user input
DescriptionWe use ctest in a fully automated non-interactive environment.

We now experienced ctest aborting in an unusual way using the "abort()"
system call. This results in a message box waiting for the user
pressing "OK". This is not the expected behaviour of a non-interactive program.

Default behaviour on windows of "abort()" is to display a message box

   ---------------------------
   Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library
   ---------------------------
   Runtime Error!

   Program: C:\Workspace\MyApp\Release\MyApp.exe

   abnormal program termination

   ---------------------------
   OK
   ---------------------------

And additionally the program exits with status code 3.

I would expect ctest only to stop with status code 3 without displaying this
annoying msg-box.

 We already do this in at least some cases. See the call to BlockTestErrorDiagnostics and the implementation of it:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmCTest.cxx;hb=v2.8.10#l472 [^]
 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmCTest.cxx;hb=v2.8.10#l823 [^]

Errors are blocked when using one of the non-interactive test modes, such as:

 ctest -M Experimental -T Test

Is it CTest itself that exits with abort() in your case, or one of the tests?

 Hi Brad,

this happens when running ctest in script mode for a custom test with subprojects. It happens right after submission. If running ctest with debug output, the last printed message is:
C:/cygwin/home/dashboard/CMakeReleaseDirectory/release/Source/CTest/cmCTestSubmitHandler.cxx:529 CURL output: [<cdash version="2.0.2">
  <status>OK</status>
  <message></message>
  <md5>8a005fb34d374e6d2630584dd48773f4</md5>
</cdash>
]

Then the this message box appears. It looks like this happens while closing curl connection.

Regards, Kiwi

 The ctest_start command implementation calls cmCTest::SetTestModel here:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/CTest/cmCTestStartCommand.cxx;hb=v2.8.10.1#l141 [^]

which should then disable interactive debug mode:

 http://cmake.org/gitweb?p=cmake.git;a=blob;f=Source/cmCTest.cxx;hb=v2.8.10.1#l835 [^]

Returning to the ctest_start implementation linked above it then calls cmCTest::InitializeFromCommand which then calls cmCTest::Initialize which then invokes the behavior linked in 0013661:0031487.

In other words, after ctest_start the diagnostics should be non-interactive.

You can also try using this option explicitly:

 ctest --interactive-debug-mode OFF ...
