[CMake] Where are tests located?

[EXT-York, Gantry]

If I'm in a traversed subdirectory, is there a different variable other than ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} that I should be using?

This doesn't seem to work.

OK, so if I'm trying to add a test do I just

add_executable( run_main.pl IMPORTED )
set_property(
    TARGET test_script1
    PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/run_main.pl"
)
add_test( test1 run_main.pl)


If run_main.pl is 

#!/usr/bin/perl
system "main --val 24"


Main could be in the build tree if it comes from main.cxx or it could be in the source tree if it is a script.  How does cmake know where main is at?

When you add an IMPORTED target, CMake does not know where the
imported target is AT ALL until you tell it.

After:
  add_executable(run_main.pl IMPORTED)

You need:
  set_property(TARGET run_main.pl PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION
"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/run_main.pl")

See docs here:
  http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#command:set_property

HTH,
