Summary0013067: Ninja: Invalid build.ninja after hitting CMake error. "unknown build rule 'RERUN_CMAKE'"
Description(Using CMake master (0000046:0000002.8.8rc1))

I successfully generated a project with the Ninja generator.

Then, I edit the CMakeLists.txt and introduce and error (as I often do ;-P), e.g., a non-existing file name to add_executable:

$ ninja
[1/1] Re-running CMake...
FAILED: /home/matt/apps/cmake_rb/bin/cmake -H/home/matt/progs/calaTK -B/home/matt/apps/calatk_rdb
-- Configuring done
CMake Error at Code/Testing/CMakeLists.txt:231 (add_executable):
  Cannot find source file:

    calatkApplicationImageFileNameInputesTest.cxx

  Tried extensions .c .C .c++ .cc .cpp .cxx .m .M .mm .h .hh .h++ .hm .hpp
  .hxx .in .txx


-- Build files have been written to: /home/matt/apps/calatk_rdb
ninja: ERROR: rebuilding 'build.ninja': subcommand failed


I fix the error, then I re-run ninja, and:

$ ninja
ninja: ERROR: build.ninja:18: unknown build rule 'RERUN_CMAKE'
build build.ninja: RERUN_CMAKE | /home/matt/apps/calatk_rdb/CMakeFiles/C...
                 ^ near here

build.ninja is attached

Running cmake manually fixes the error, but it would be nice if that was not necessary.

Rules are defined in the rules.ninja file. Can you check/attach this file so that we can see if RERUN_CMAKE is present. Normally this file is included at the beginning of the build.ninja file.

File uploaded. It looks good to my naive eye. A ninja bug? I am using ninja master (abd33d5e3b).
