[CMake] cross-testing support in cmake

[Miller Henry]

Easy enough.  ADD_TEST can run whatever you want.

I created a simple cmake function
Function(RUN_REMOTE_TEST testname, other_args)
   # insert useful code here…
   add_test(${testname}
      remote_run_test ${binary_dir}/${testname} other test runner script args…
  )
End_function()

You will have to figure out how to make the above work for your needs, but the idea is simple enough.   One useful thing I do in our function is create a custom target to run the test as part of the build as well, that way the TDD cycle runs all the tests.

Hello,

I'm looking for ways to enable cross-testing with cmake. I imagine some helper script that, during test execution, copies the test binary to a test platform, runs the binary there, and reports back the test result. Does cmake have support for such a scenario ?

Thanks,


[Stefan]
