[vtk-developers] New "NeedBaselines" conditional for tests

[David Doria]

After running a dashboard on a machine without VTK_DATA, I think there is
an issue with several of the tests:
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewTest.php?onlyfailed&buildid=1866063

As an example consider:
http://www.cdash.org/CDash/testDetails.php?test=129458658&build=1866063

In the CMakeLists.txt of Widgets/Testing/Cxx, BoxWidget2.cxx is NOT placed
in the "needs VTK_DATA" conditional. It is correct that for this test no
input data is necessary. However, the Baseline images are not available to
check the output of the test because VTK_DATA is not available. Does there
need to be another conditional, something like "Need_Baselines" added to
some of the CMakeLists.txt files? The tests failing on this dashboard would
then be moved into that conditional. It would essentially be the same check
for VTK_DATA, but it seems better to keep them separated by which ones need
input data and which only need baseline data.

I think the dashboard should be green no matter if VTK_DATA is available or
not, there would just be fewer tests run.

Thoughts?
