"cmake --help-command add_test" shows two "signatures", one with NAME
and COMMAND keywords, one (the older one) without.

Which signature are you using?

WORKING_DIRECTORY is only available for the NAME+COMMAND signature.
But... if you're using that, it should work. If it doesn't work,
please give us steps to reproduce the problem, and we'll take a look.


HTH,
