[CMake] Trouble starting ctest run with intention of reportingto dashboard

[Steve Huston]

Hi folks,

I've tried a few more things and am at a loss at this point.

First, I ran this under strace on Linux to see what ctest was really
doing. For defaults on the config file, when ctest reports:

Cannot find file:
/qpidbuilds/trunk/qpid/cpp/rhel5/DartConfiguration.tcl

it is actually looking for either of these:

./CTestConfiguration.ini
./DartConfiguration.tcl

Once I knew that, I used the --ctest-config option to point ctest to
the actual file. It appeared to read the file:

access("../../CTestConfig.cmake", R_OK) = 0
open("../../CTestConfig.cmake", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0744, st_size=541, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1,
0) = 0xfffffffff7f54000
read(3, "## This file should be placed in"..., 8192) = 541
read(3, "", 4096)                       = 0
read(3, "", 8192)                       = 0
close(3)                                = 0

But still reported the same problem that there's no nightly start time
found.
The config file I downloaded from my cdash install is:

## This file should be placed in the root directory of your project.
## Then modify the CMakeLists.txt file in the root directory of your
## project to incorporate the testing dashboard.
## # The following are required to uses Dart and the Cdash dashboard
##   ENABLE_TESTING()
##   INCLUDE(CTest)
set(CTEST_PROJECT_NAME "Qpid")
set(CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "00:00:00 EST")

set(CTEST_DROP_METHOD "http")
set(CTEST_DROP_SITE "www.riverace.com")
set(CTEST_DROP_LOCATION "/CDash-1.4.2/submit.php?project=Qpid")
set(CTEST_DROP_SITE_CDASH TRUE)

Any clues on what needs to be set?

Thanks,
-Steve
