ctest错误“未找到测试”的确切含义是什么？

问题描述

运行ctest时，出现以下错误消息：

Test project /home/path_to_my_project/build
No tests were found!!!

实际上不清楚该错误的确切含义。

在official documentation之后，我在根文件夹中调用include(CTest)，然后调用：

if(BUILD_TESTING)
  add_subdirectory(test)
endif()

测试文件可以很好地编译并最终位于my_project/build/subprojects/Build/my_project_core/test/testBin文件夹中。

所以我的猜测是ctest找不到它希望在其中找到文件的位置，但是错误消息没有显示任何有用的信息来解决此错误。

我认为了解ctest的工作原理和期望的一般背景可以帮助用户应对这一错误。

代码

根：

# CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)
project(foo)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

set_property(DIRECTORY PROPERTY EP_BASE ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/subprojects)

set(STAGED_INSTALL_PREFIX ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/stage)

外部项目：

# external/upstream/CMakeLists.txt

add_subdirectory(boost)

虚拟增强外部（如果未找到系统版本，则不执行任何操作）：

# external/upstream/boost/CMakeLists.txt

find_package(Boost ${Boost_MINIMUM_REQUIRED} QUIET CONFIG COMPONENTS "${BOOST_COMPONENTS_REQUIRED}")
if(Boost_FOUND)
  message(STATUS "Found Boost: ${_loc} (version ${Boost_MAJOR_VERSION}.${Boost_MINOR_VERSION}.${Boost_SUBMINOR_VERSION})")
  add_library(boost_external INTERFACE)
else()
  message(STATUS "Boost ${Boost_MINIMUM_REQUIRED} could not be located,downloading and building Boost 1.72.0 instead.")
endif()

核心项目：

# foo_core/CMakeLists.txt

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.5 FATAL_ERROR)
project("foo" LANGUAGES CXX)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_EXTENSIONS OFF)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} INTERFACE)
# add alias so the project can be used with add_subdirectory
add_library(${PROJECT_NAME}::${PROJECT_NAME} ALIAS ${PROJECT_NAME})

enable_testing()
add_subdirectory(test)

测试：

# foo_core/test/CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.12)

# Include Boost as an imported target
find_package(Boost REQUIRED CONFIG COMPONENTS unit_test_framework)

# Keep test files in a separate source directory called test
file(GLOB TEST_SRCS RELATIVE ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR} unit_test/*.cpp)

#Run through each source
foreach(testSrc ${TEST_SRCS})
        #Extract the filename without an extension (NAME_WE)
        get_filename_component(testName ${testSrc} NAME_WE)

        #Add compile target
        add_executable(${testName} ${testSrc})

        #link to Boost libraries AND your targets and dependencies
        target_link_libraries(${testName} Boost::unit_test_framework )

        #I like to move testing binaries into a testBin directory
         set_target_properties(${testName} PROPERTIES
         RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY  ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/test/testBin)

        target_include_directories(
          ${testName} PRIVATE $<BUILD_INTERFACE:${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/include>
                                  $<BUILD_INTERFACE:${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR}/include>)

        #Finally add it to test execution - Notice the WORKING_DIRECTORY and COMMAND
        add_test(NAME ${testName}
                 WORKING_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/test/testBin
                 COMMAND ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/test/testBin/${testName} )
endforeach(testSrc)

foo_core / include / foo / bar.h

#ifndef __BAR_H_INCLUDED__
#define __BAR_H_INCLUDED__

template<class T>
T bar(T a,T b){ return a*b;};

#endif

foo_core / test / unit_test / foo_test.cpp

#define BOOST_TEST_DYN_LINK
#define BOOST_TEST_MODULE foo_test

#include <boost/test/unit_test.hpp>
namespace utf = boost::unit_test;

#include <foo/bar.h>

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE( bar_suite )

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_CASE( bar_case )
{
  BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(bar(2,2),4);
}

BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END()

解决方法

添加

ENABLE_TESTING()

在子项目中的 AddTest 之前。这个命令不仅需要在head Cmake工程配置中添加，子工程配置文件中也需要添加。
