[Paraview-developers] CMake ParaView parallel testing on windows

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Whilst setting up a dashboard for ParaView using windows + MPI, I noticed that a number of tests always fail because the executable is not found. I find that CMake code such as this

ADD_TEST(ParallelIso-image 
  ${VTK_MPIRUN_EXE} ${VTK_MPI_PRENUMPROC_FLAGS} ${VTK_MPI_NUMPROC_FLAG} 2 ${VTK_MPI_PREFLAGS} 
  ${CXX_TEST_PATH}/${RelWithDebInfo}/ParallelIsoTest
  -D ${VTK_DATA_ROOT}
  -T ${VTK_BINARY_DIR}/Testing/Temporary
  -V Baseline/Parallel/ParallelIso.cxx.png
  ${VTK_MPI_POSTFLAGS}
)

does not get the executable path for the actual test set correctly to
build/bin/RelWithDebInfo/ParallelIsoTest but only to build/bin/ParallelIsoTest

I tried adding ${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}
  ${CXX_TEST_PATH}/${CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR}/ParallelIsoTest

and then running 
ctest -C RelWithDebInfo -V -R ParallelIso

but the output is 
270: Test command: "C:\Program Files\MPICH2\bin\mpiexec.exe" -np 2 -localonly -channel mt D:/cmakebuild/pv-shared/bin/$(OutDir)/ParallelIsoT
est -D H:/VTKData -T D:/cmakebuild/pv-shared/VTK/Testing/Temporary -V Baseline/Parallel/ParallelIso.cxx.png

where we have $(OutDir) rather than RelWithDebInfo.

Is there a correct way to do this? I had a look at previous dashboards and see that there is no regular windows + Mpi + Parallel testing done for paraview (and now I know why!)

Thanks for any pointers (My guess is that the ADD_TEST() command is internally substituting the bin dir for the first executable, but this is not applicable for the mpirun version)
