We +already defined a number of tests for our project in +:ref:`Testing Support <Tutorial Testing Support>`. Now we just have to run +those tests and submit them to a dashboard. To include support for dashboards +we include the :module:`CTest` module in our top-level ``CMakeLists.txt``. + +Replace: + +.. code-block:: cmake + :caption: CMakeLists.txt + :name: CMakeLists.txt-enable_testing-remove + + # enable testing + enable_testing() + +With: + +.. code-block:: cmake + :caption: CMakeLists.txt + :name: CMakeLists.txt-include-CTest + + # enable dashboard scripting + include(CTest) + +The :module:`CTest` module will automatically call ``enable_testing()``, so we +can remove it from our CMake files. + +We will also need to create a ``CTestConfig.cmake`` file in the top-level +directory where we can specify the name of the project and where to submit the +dashboard. + +.. literalinclude:: Step9/CTestConfig.cmake + :caption: CTestConfig.cmake + :name: CTestConfig.cmake + :language: cmake + +The :manual:`ctest <ctest(1)>` executable will read in this file when it runs. +To create a simple dashboard you can run the :manual:`cmake <cmake(1)>` +executable or the :manual:`cmake-gui <cmake-gui(1)>` to configure the project, +but do not build it yet. Instead, change directory to the binary tree, and then +run: + +.. code-block:: console + + ctest [-VV] -D Experimental + +Remember, for multi-config generators (e.g. Visual Studio), the configuration +type must be specified: + +.. code-block:: console + + ctest [-VV] -C Debug -D Experimental + +Or, from an IDE, build the ``Experimental`` target. + +The :manual:`ctest <ctest(1)>` executable will build and test the project and +submit the results to Kitware's public dashboard: +https://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=CMakeTutorial. |
