NAME

       ctest - CTest Command-Line Reference

SYNOPSIS

          ctest [<options>]

DESCRIPTION

       The  "ctest"  executable  is  the  CMake test driver program.  CMake-generated build trees
       created for projects that use  the  ENABLE_TESTING  and  ADD_TEST  commands  have  testing
       support.  This program will run the tests and report results.

OPTIONS

       -C <cfg>, --build-config <cfg>
              Choose configuration to test.

              Some CMake-generated build trees can have multiple build configurations in the same
              tree.  This option can be used to specify which  one  should  be  tested.   Example
              configurations are "Debug" and "Release".

       -V,--verbose
              Enable verbose output from tests.

              Test output is normally suppressed and only summary information is displayed.  This
              option will show all test output.

       -VV,--extra-verbose
              Enable more verbose output from tests.

              Test output is normally suppressed and only summary information is displayed.  This
              option will show even more test output.

       --debug
              Displaying more verbose internals of CTest.

              This  feature  will  result  in  a large number of output that is mostly useful for
              debugging dashboard problems.

       --output-on-failure
              Output anything outputted by the test program if the test should fail.  This option
              can also be enabled by setting the environment variable CTEST_OUTPUT_ON_FAILURE.

       -F     Enable failover.

              This  option  allows  ctest  to  resume  a  test  set execution that was previously
              interrupted.  If no interruption occurred, the -F option will have no effect.

       -j <jobs>, --parallel <jobs>
              Run the tests in parallel using the given number of jobs.

              This option tells ctest to run the tests in parallel using given  number  of  jobs.
              This   option   can   also   be   set   by   setting   the   environment   variable
              CTEST_PARALLEL_LEVEL.

       --test-load <level>
              While running tests in parallel (e.g. with -j), try not to start  tests  when  they
              may cause the CPU load to pass above a given threshold.

              When  ctest is run as a Dashboard Client this sets the TestLoad option of the CTest
              Test Step.

       -Q,--quiet
              Make ctest quiet.

              This option will suppress all the output.   The  output  log  file  will  still  be
              generated   if   the   --output-log  is  specified.   Options  such  as  --verbose,
              --extra-verbose, and --debug are ignored if --quiet is specified.

       -O <file>, --output-log <file>
              Output to log file

              This option tells ctest to write all its output to a log file.

       -N,--show-only
              Disable actual execution of tests.

              This option tells ctest to list the tests that would be run but  not  actually  run
              them.  Useful in conjunction with the -R and -E options.

       -L <regex>, --label-regex <regex>
              Run tests with labels matching regular expression.

              This  option tells ctest to run only the tests whose labels match the given regular
              expression.

       -R <regex>, --tests-regex <regex>
              Run tests matching regular expression.

              This option tells ctest to run only the tests whose names match the  given  regular
              expression.

       -E <regex>, --exclude-regex <regex>
              Exclude tests matching regular expression.

              This  option  tells  ctest to NOT run the tests whose names match the given regular
              expression.

       -LE <regex>, --label-exclude <regex>
              Exclude tests with labels matching regular expression.

              This option tells ctest to NOT run the tests whose labels match the  given  regular
              expression.

       -D <dashboard>, --dashboard <dashboard>
              Execute dashboard test

              This option tells ctest to act as a CDash client and perform a dashboard test.  All
              tests are <Mode><Test>, where Mode can be Experimental,  Nightly,  and  Continuous,
              and Test can be Start, Update, Configure, Build, Test, Coverage, and Submit.

       -D <var>:<type>=<value>
              Define a variable for script mode

              Pass  in  variable  values on the command line.  Use in conjunction with -S to pass
              variable values to a dashboard script.  Parsing -D arguments as variable values  is
              only  attempted if the value following -D does not match any of the known dashboard
              types.

       -M <model>, --test-model <model>
              Sets the model for a dashboard

              This option tells ctest to act as  a  CDash  client  where  the  TestModel  can  be
              Experimental, Nightly, and Continuous.  Combining -M and -T is similar to -D

       -T <action>, --test-action <action>
              Sets the dashboard action to perform

              This  option  tells  ctest to act as a CDash client and perform some action such as
              start, build, test etc.  Combining -M and -T is similar to -D

       --track <track>
              Specify the track to submit dashboard to

              Submit dashboard to specified track  instead  of  default  one.   By  default,  the
              dashboard  is  submitted  to  Nightly,  Experimental,  or  Continuous track, but by
              specifying this option, the track can be arbitrary.

       -S <script>, --script <script>
              Execute a dashboard for a configuration

              This option tells ctest to load in a configuration script which sets  a  number  of
              parameters  such  as the binary and source directories.  Then ctest will do what is
              required to create and run a dashboard.  This option basically sets up a  dashboard
              and then runs ctest -D with the appropriate options.

       -SP <script>, --script-new-process <script>
              Execute a dashboard for a configuration

              This  option  does  the  same  operations  as  -S but it will do them in a separate
              process.  This is primarily useful  in  cases  where  the  script  may  modify  the
              environment  and  you  do  not  want  the  modified  environment to impact other -S
              scripts.

       -A <file>, --add-notes <file>
              Add a notes file with submission

              This option tells ctest to include a notes file when submitting dashboard.

       -I [Start,End,Stride,test#,test#|Test file], --tests-information
              Run a specific number of tests by number.

              This option causes ctest to run tests starting at number Start,  ending  at  number
              End,  and  incrementing  by  Stride.   Any  additional  numbers  after  Stride  are
              considered individual test numbers.  Start, End,or stride can be empty.  Optionally
              a file can be given that contains the same syntax as the command line.

       -U, --union
              Take the Union of -I and -R

              When both -R and -I are specified by default the intersection of tests are run.  By
              specifying -U the union of tests is run instead.

       --rerun-failed
              Run only the tests that failed previously

              This option tells ctest to perform only the tests that failed during  its  previous
              run.   When  this  option is specified, ctest ignores all other options intended to
              modify the list of tests to run (-L, -R, -E, -LE, -I,  etc).   In  the  event  that
              CTest  runs  and  no  tests fail, subsequent calls to ctest with the --rerun-failed
              option will run the set of tests that most recently failed (if any).

       --repeat-until-fail <n>
              Require each test to run <n> times without failing in order to pass.

              This is useful in finding sporadic failures in test cases.

       --max-width <width>
              Set the max width for a test name to output

              Set the maximum width for each test name to show in the output.   This  allows  the
              user  to  widen  the  output  to  avoid  clipping  the  test name which can be very
              annoying.

       --interactive-debug-mode [0|1]
              Set the interactive mode to 0 or 1.

              This option causes  ctest  to  run  tests  in  either  an  interactive  mode  or  a
              non-interactive  mode.   On  Windows  this  means that in non-interactive mode, all
              system debug pop up windows are blocked.  In dashboard mode (Experimental, Nightly,
              Continuous),  the  default  is  non-interactive.  When just running tests not for a
              dashboard the default is to allow popups and interactive debugging.

       --no-label-summary
              Disable timing summary information for labels.

              This option tells ctest not to print summary information for each label  associated
              with the tests run.  If there are no labels on the tests, nothing extra is printed.

       --build-and-test
              Configure, build and run a test.

              This  option tells ctest to configure (i.e.  run cmake on), build, and or execute a
              test.  The configure and test steps are optional.  The arguments  to  this  command
              line  are the source and binary directories.  By default this will run CMake on the
              Source/Bin  directories  specified  unless  --build-nocmake  is   specified.    The
              --build-generator   option   must   be   provided   to  use  --build-and-test.   If
              --test-command is specified then that will be run  after  the  build  is  complete.
              Other   options   that   affect   this  mode  are  --build-target  --build-nocmake,
              --build-run-dir,                --build-two-config,                --build-exe-dir,
              --build-project,--build-noclean, --build-options

       --build-target
              Specify a specific target to build.

              This  option  goes  with the --build-and-test option, if left out the all target is
              built.

       --build-nocmake
              Run the build without running cmake first.

              Skip the cmake step.

       --build-run-dir
              Specify directory to run programs from.

              Directory where programs will be after it has been compiled.

       --build-two-config
              Run CMake twice

       --build-exe-dir
              Specify the directory for the executable.

       --build-generator
              Specify the generator to use.

       --build-generator-platform
              Specify the generator-specific platform.

       --build-generator-toolset
              Specify the generator-specific toolset.

       --build-project
              Specify the name of the project to build.

       --build-makeprogram
              Override the make program chosen by CTest with a given one.

       --build-noclean
              Skip the make clean step.

       --build-config-sample
              A sample executable to use to determine the configuration

              A sample executable to use to determine the  configuration  that  should  be  used.
              e.g.  Debug/Release/etc

       --build-options
              Add extra options to the build step.

              This option must be the last option with the exception of --test-command

       --test-command
              The test to run with the --build-and-test option.

       --test-output-size-passed <size>
              Limit the output for passed tests to <size> bytes.

       --test-output-size-failed <size>
              Limit the output for failed tests to <size> bytes.

       --test-timeout
              The time limit in seconds, internal use only.

       --tomorrow-tag
              Nightly or experimental starts with next day tag.

              This is useful if the build will not finish in one day.

       --ctest-config
              The configuration file used to initialize CTest state when submitting dashboards.

              This   option   tells  CTest  to  use  different  initialization  file  instead  of
              CTestConfiguration.tcl.  This way multiple initialization files  can  be  used  for
              example to submit to multiple dashboards.

       --overwrite
              Overwrite CTest configuration option.

              By  default  ctest uses configuration options from configuration file.  This option
              will overwrite the configuration option.

       --extra-submit <file>[;<file>]
              Submit extra files to the dashboard.

              This option will submit extra files to the dashboard.

       --force-new-ctest-process
              Run child CTest instances as new processes

              By default CTest will run child CTest instances within the same process.   If  this
              behavior  is  not desired, this argument will enforce new processes for child CTest
              processes.

       --schedule-random
              Use a random order for scheduling tests

              This option will run the tests in a random order.  It is commonly  used  to  detect
              implicit dependencies in a test suite.

       --submit-index
              Legacy option for old Dart2 dashboard server feature.  Do not use.

       --timeout <seconds>
              Set a global timeout on all tests.

              This  option  will  set  a  global  timeout on all tests that do not already have a
              timeout set on them.

       --stop-time <time>
              Set a time at which all tests should stop running.

              Set a real time of day at which all tests should timeout.  Example: 7:00:00  -0400.
              Any  time  format  understood  by  the curl date parser is accepted.  Local time is
              assumed if no timezone is specified.

       --http1.0
              Submit using HTTP 1.0.

              This option will force CTest to use HTTP 1.0 to  submit  files  to  the  dashboard,
              instead of HTTP 1.1.

       --no-compress-output
              Do not compress test output when submitting.

              This flag will turn off automatic compression of test output.  Use this to maintain
              compatibility with an older version of CDash which doesn't support compressed  test
              output.

       --print-labels
              Print all available test labels.

              This  option  will  not  run any tests, it will simply print the list of all labels
              associated with the test set.

       --help,-help,-usage,-h,-H,/?
              Print usage information and exit.

              Usage describes the basic command line interface and its options.

       --version,-version,/V [<f>]
              Show program name/version banner and exit.

DASHBOARD CLIENT

       CTest  can operate as a client for the CDash software quality dashboard application.  As a
       dashboard client, CTest performs a  sequence  of  steps  to  configure,  build,  and  test
       software, and then submits the results to a CDash server.

   Dashboard Client Steps
       CTest  defines  an  ordered  list  of  testing  steps of which some or all may be run as a
       dashboard client:

       Start  Start a new dashboard  submission  to  be  composed  of  results  recorded  by  the
              following steps.  See the CTest Start Step section below.

       Update Update the source tree from its version control repository.  Record the old and new
              versions and the list of updated source files.  See the CTest Update  Step  section
              below.

       Configure
              Configure  the  software  by  running  a  command  in  the  build tree.  Record the
              configuration output log.  See the CTest Configure Step section below.

       Build  Build the software by running a command in the build tree.  Record the build output
              log and detect warnings and errors.  See the CTest Build Step section below.

       Test   Test  the  software  by  loading  a  CTestTestfile.cmake  from  the  build tree and
              executing the defined tests.  Record the output and result of each test.   See  the
              CTest Test Step section below.

       Coverage
              Compute  coverage  of  the  source  code  by  running  a coverage analysis tool and
              recording its output.  See the CTest Coverage Step section below.

       MemCheck
              Run the software test suite through a memory check tool.  Record the  test  output,
              results,  and  issues  reported  by  the tool.  See the CTest MemCheck Step section
              below.

       Submit Submit results recorded from other testing steps to the software quality  dashboard
              server.  See the CTest Submit Step section below.

   Dashboard Client Modes
       CTest defines three modes of operation as a dashboard client:

       Nightly
              This  mode  is intended to be invoked once per day, typically at night.  It enables
              the Start, Update, Configure, Build, Test, Coverage, and Submit steps  by  default.
              Selected steps run even if the Update step reports no changes to the source tree.

       Continuous
              This  mode is intended to be invoked repeatedly throughout the day.  It enables the
              Start, Update, Configure, Build, Test, Coverage, and Submit steps by  default,  but
              exits after the Update step if it reports no changes to the source tree.

       Experimental
              This  mode  is  intended  to  be  invoked by a developer to test local changes.  It
              enables the Start, Configure, Build, Test, Coverage, and Submit steps by default.

   Dashboard Client via CTest Command-Line
       CTest can perform testing on an already-generated build tree.  Run the ctest command  with
       the current working directory set to the build tree and use one of these signatures:

          ctest -D <mode>[<step>]
          ctest -M <mode> [ -T <step> ]...

       The <mode> must be one of the above Dashboard Client Modes, and each <step> must be one of
       the above Dashboard Client Steps.

       CTest reads the Dashboard Client Configuration settings from a  file  in  the  build  tree
       called  either CTestConfiguration.ini or DartConfiguration.tcl (the names are historical).
       The format of the file is:

          # Lines starting in '#' are comments.
          # Other non-blank lines are key-value pairs.
          <setting>: <value>

       where <setting> is the setting name and <value> is the setting value.

       In build trees generated by CMake, this configuration  file  is  generated  by  the  CTest
       module  if  included by the project.  The module uses variables to obtain a value for each
       setting as documented with the settings below.

   Dashboard Client via CTest Script
       CTest can perform testing driven by a cmake-language(7) script that creates and  maintains
       the  source and build tree as well as performing the testing steps.  Run the ctest command
       with the current working directory set outside of any build tree  and  use  one  of  these
       signatures:

          ctest -S <script>
          ctest -SP <script>

       The  <script>  file  must  call CTest Commands commands to run testing steps explicitly as
       documented below.  The commands obtain Dashboard Client Configuration settings from  their
       arguments or from variables set in the script.

DASHBOARD CLIENT CONFIGURATION

       The  Dashboard  Client  Steps  may  be  configured  by named settings as documented in the
       following sections.

       Additional configuration settings include:

       NightlyStartTime
              In  the Nightly dashboard mode, specify the "nightly start time".  With centralized
              version control systems (cvs and svn), the Update step checks out  the  version  of
              the  software  as  of this time so that multiple clients choose a common version to
              test.  This is not well-defined  in  distributed  version-control  systems  so  the
              setting is ignored.

              • CTest Script variable: CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIMECTest module variable: NIGHTLY_START_TIME if set, else CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME

              When  the  build  system  to  be  launched  allows  build-time  selection  of   the
              configuration (e.g. Debug, Release), this specifies the default configuration to be
              built when no -C option  is  given  to  the  ctest  command.   The  value  will  be
              substituted   into   the  value  of  MakeCommand  to  replace  the  literal  string
              ${CTEST_CONFIGURATION_TYPE} if it appears.

              Ninja  generator, specify whether the CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS feature is enabled by the
              CTestUseLaunchers module (also included by the CTest module).   When  enabled,  the
              generated  build  system  wraps  each invocation of the compiler, linker, or custom
              command line with  a  "launcher"  that  communicates  with  CTest  via  environment
              variables  and  files  to  report  granular  build  warning  and error information.
              Otherwise, CTest must "scrape" the build output log for diagnostics.
