[CMake] Running CTest with Xcode build results in Error

Thu Jun 18 15:45:36 EDT 2015

Found the source. the generated CTestConfig.cmake is the following:

## This file should be placed in the root directory of your project.
## Then modify the CMakeLists.txt file in the root directory of your
## project to incorporate the testing dashboard.
## # The following are required to uses Dart and the Cdash dashboard
##   ENABLE_TESTING()
##   INCLUDE(CTest)
set(CTEST_PROJECT_NAME "DREAM3D")
set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "01:00:00 UTC")

set(CTEST_DROP_METHOD "http")
set(CTEST_DROP_SITE "my.cdash.org")
set(CTEST_DROP_LOCATION "/submit.php?project=DREAM3D")
set(CTEST_DROP_SITE_CDASH TRUE)

# Use multiple CPU cores to build
include(ProcessorCount)
ProcessorCount(N)
if(NOT N EQUAL 0)
  if(NOT WIN32)
    set(CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS "-j${N}")
  endif(NOT WIN32)
  set(ctest_test_args ${ctest_test_args} PARALLEL_LEVEL ${N})

endif()

So that explains where it is coming from. Does CMake generate this or does my project generate this?

The short of it is that CTest is using xcodebuild (which is correct) but is trying to pass the “-j16” style that normal “MakeFiles” would use. I have looked through our CTest scripts (Which were adapted from VTK’s nightly builds) but I am not seeing anything about that flag being explicitly called out.
