</P>
<P> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am writing CTest unit tests for a library I've created.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I've utilized CREATE_TEST_SOURCELIST as described in Mastering CMake book.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In one of the test, I pass an invalid value to make sure that an exception is thrown.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In my test program I have a try-catch around the function call that passes that invalid</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">value and inside of the 'catch' I simple return EXIT_FAILURE. For that test, I've</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">used SET_TESTS_PROPERTIES(… PROPERTIES WILL_FAIL TRUE). Now,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">when I run 'make test', the test doesn't pass with a message '***Exception: Other'.</FONT>
<BR> <FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">How can I tell ctest that the exception is expected? I.e. I need something like </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">'WILL_EXCEPT' property that I could pass to set_tests_properties.</FONT>
