[CMake] simple ctest

[David Cole]

Perhaps the repeated messages are from:
Were you perhaps setting CTEST_CONFIGURE_COMMAND to "ctest -S
script.cmake"?? -- that is definitely a big no-no, and will result in
recursion of running the script...


I get this when I try (but fail) to reproduce the issue:

C:\Users\david.cole\Dashboards\My Tests\scripts>ctest --version
ctest version 2.8.0-rc5

C:\Users\david.cole\Dashboards\My Tests\scripts>ctest -S script.cmake
Actual path is C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My Tests/scripts/Step7/
Actual binary path is C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My
Tests/scripts/Step7//build
WARNING: No nightly start time found please set in CTestConfig.cmake or
DartConfig.cmake
Cannot instantiate test handler ctest_configure
CMake Error at script.cmake:9 (CTEST_CONFIGURE):
  ctest_configure Configure command is not specified.  If this is a CMake
  project, specify CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR, or if this is not CMake project,
  specify CTEST_CONFIGURE_COMMAND.


Cannot instantiate test handler ctest_build
CMake Error at script.cmake:10 (CTEST_BUILD):
  ctest_build CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND or CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR not specified.
  Please specify the CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR and CTEST_PROJECT_NAME if this is
  a CMake project, or specify the CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND for cmake or any other
  project.


Error in read script: C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My
Tests/scripts/script.cmake


So.... following the message "..... specify CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR, or ....."
I added the line to script.cmake:
SET ( CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR "Visual Studio 9 2008" )

with the result:
C:\Users\david.cole\Dashboards\My Tests\scripts>ctest -S script.cmake
Actual path is C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My Tests/scripts/Step7/
Actual binary path is C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My
Tests/scripts/Step7//build
WARNING: No nightly start time found please set in CTestConfig.cmake or
DartConfig.cmake
Current Tag empty, this may mean NightlyStartTime / CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME
was not set correctly.
Or maybe you forgot to call ctest_start() before calling ctest_configure().
Cannot open configure file
Error in read script: C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My
Tests/scripts/script.cmake


So..... I added:
SET ( CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "01:00:00 UTC" )

with the result:
C:\Users\david.cole\Dashboards\My Tests\scripts>ctest -S script.cmake
Actual path is C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My Tests/scripts/Step7/
Actual binary path is C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My
Tests/scripts/Step7//build
   Error when uploading file: C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My
Tests/scripts/Step7/build/Testing/20
091105-0100/Build.xml
   Error message was: couldn't connect to host
   Problems when submitting via HTTP
Error in read script: C:/Users/david.cole/Dashboards/My
Tests/scripts/script.cmake


(So it succeeded in the end except for submitting to an empty drop site....)


But nothing like the repeated messages you were seeing. Were you perhaps
setting CTEST_CONFIGURE_COMMAND to "ctest -S script.cmake"?? -- that is
definitely a big no-no, and will result in recursion of running the
script...


HTH,
David
