It is presently not possible because there is no connection (other than the full path to the executable and the arguments you pass to it) between a test executed by ctest and the build products produced by CMake and the native build system.

What is necessary is a way to connect a test and its inputs back to the build products that lead into it such that it's part of the build-time dependency analysis that takes place when an incremental build is performed. It's very much a non-trivial set of tasks that need to occur before this becomes possible in a reliable manner.


HTH,
David
