| == Carrying out tests on a machine without building first ==
| | {{CMake/Template/Moved}} |
|
| |
|
| This page describes, what can be done to perform tests on a different machine than the one | | This page has moved [https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/community/wikis/doc/ctest/TestWithoutBuild here]. |
| where the software was built.
| |
| | |
| I created an installer image (BitRock installer in our case) containing
| |
| the normal deliverables of our software plus the following items:
| |
| * Some scripts needed to carry out our tests. This also contains software needed to carry out the tests (Squish)
| |
| * A complete CMake installation
| |
| * The following CMake-generated files from the build directory:
| |
| ** CTestCustom.cmake
| |
| ** DartConfiguration.tcl
| |
| ** CTestTestfile.cmake
| |
| * Post-installation script
| |
| | |
| The last item is a script, which is run by the installer as a post-install step. This script adjusts
| |
| all paths in the above CMake files from the build directory to the installation directory. It also adjusts the
| |
| host name contained in DartConfiguration.tcl, so the results show up in CDash under the correct name.
| |
| The final step of the post-installation script is to call ctest with the following arguments:
| |
| ctest -T Test -T Submit --track Nightly
| |
| For this to work the environment variable CMAKE_ROOT is set to the just-installed CMake share directory in the script.
| |
| | |
| This causes a simple installation, which can be done automatically via cron or the Windows task planner, to perform
| |
| the installation, carry out the tests and submit the results to CDash.The only requirement for the test machines
| |
| is to have standard software installed, we need perl and python for our tests.
