Summary0013302: Improve mechanism allowing to pass command line parameter to ctest script
DescriptionWhen setting up dashboard it is sometimes useful to pass parameter to ctest script.

A possible approach is to pass parameters doing the following:

  ctest -S /path/to/script.cmake,OPTNAME1##OPTVALUE1^^OPTNAME2##OPTVALUE2

Then, the following code can be used in the called CTest script to "extract" the associated value:

if(NOT CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG STREQUAL "")
  string(REPLACE "^^" "\\;" CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG_AS_LIST "${CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG}")
  set(CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG_AS_LIST ${CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG_AS_LIST})
  foreach(argn_argv ${CTEST_SCRIPT_ARG_AS_LIST})
    string(REPLACE "##" "\\;" argn_argv_list ${argn_argv})
    set(argn_argv_list ${argn_argv_list})
    list(GET argn_argv_list 0 argn)
    list(GET argn_argv_list 1 argv)
    set(${argn} ${argv})
  endforeach()
endif()

When more complex value, like URL are passed as parameter, special characters like ":" need also to be "encoded". See issue 0012953

A mechanism similar to what's done with "cmake" executable could probably be implemented. It means parameter could be passed using:
   -DOPTNAME1:STRING=OPTVALUE1

 Sending old, never assigned issues to the backlog.

(The age of the bug, plus the fact that it's never been assigned to anyone means that nobody is actively working on it...)

If an issue you care about is sent to the backlog when you feel it should have been addressed in a different manner, please bring it up on the CMake mailing list for discussion. Sign up for the mailing list here, if you're not already on it: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake [^]

It's easy to re-activate a bug here if you can find a CMake developer who has the bandwidth to take it on, and ferry a fix through to our 'next' branch for dashboard testing.

 Hasn't this been fixed by the ctest-cmd-line-vars topic that went into 2.8.9?

 Yes, Eike -- thanks for pointing that out.... this is resolved. See the ctest command line help starting in version 2.8.9 -- -D is now supported for defining variable values on the ctest command line when running a ctest -S script.
