Missing working ctest example

[miroi]

As I am trying to adapt tests for https://github.com/miroi/mathlibs-tester, I am missing working ctest-autocmake example.

Is it worth for consideration ?

[bast]

I don't understand - what exactly is missing and where?

[miroi]

autocmake lacks very ctest example, IMHO (and I can not set up it in another project as related issue...)

[bast]

OK testing is very project-dependent. We could abstract one or two lines

include(CTest)
enable_testing()

but still the user has to write something. One thing that Autocmake cannot do much
about is help with targets since they are different for every project. But we can
help with everything else.

I think what you are missing is documentation on how to do this.
I will add some doc although it falls a bit into the first two FAQs here:
http://autocmake.readthedocs.org/en/latest/developers/faq.html#faq-for-developers

[miroi]

Well, I'd need one very simple running Ctest in autocmake. I can't set it up in another projekt, based on autocmake.

[bast]

Here are explicit examples where I use that:
https://github.com/bast/xcint/blob/master/cmake/custom/test.cmake
https://github.com/bast/numgrid/blob/master/cmake/custom/test.cmake

[miroi]

In this example a new test requires own target and libraries.
But in Autocmake we already have add_executable(example example.F90).

Plain add_test(${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}/bin/example) is not working.

[miroi]

Well, maybe I should try the cmake/custom/test.cmake approach.

[bast]

The add_test can test in principle any binary or script or command. It does not need to be a target. It creates a "make test" target.

[miroi]

I got the make test target. Even make test works after the target compilation. But the configuration is not working, claiming missing libraries, LAPACK/BLAS libraries not found for the project! .

[miroi]

Well, make VERBOSE=1 ExperimentalConfigure give error of LAPACK_FOUND=FALSE. Strange that when calling it as test, is does not find libraries, althogh the previous compilation works....
