cmake-unit's Issues

cmake-unit overrides add_custom_command

cmake-unit overrides add_custom_command so that it can print command names for generators in a workaround #55. This is known to be somewhat unreliable and prevents any client code from overriding add_custom_command too because CMake only stores one override entry in its function table.

Workaround: client code may not define any function named add_custom_command.

I have trouble with getting cmake-unit and dependencies.

Hi smspillaz,

I would like to try out the cmake-unit project, but I have trouble "installing" it. When I download the project and simply add it to my project it misses the file conanbuildinfo.cmake. It would be very helpful if you had some instructions on how to correctly get your package and its dependencies at the top of the documentation.

From the conan.py file, I take that the missing files are retrieved using the conan package manager. I have only beginners knowledge of python and none of conan. I am working with python 3.4 on windows btw. So this is what I tried so far:

• install conan with python -m pip install conan
• add the conan directory to PYTHONPATH
• changed the current directory to the download directory of cmake-unit which I copied into my project.
• ran python -m conan install
  -> retrieved the following error output

• threw my hands up in desperation, gave up and wrote this issue ;-)

Do you have any ideas what else do I need to do to make it work?
Thank you for your time.

Coverage file paths may not contain square brackets ([])

Coverage file paths may not contain the square brackets ([,]) characters. These characters are stripped out of the configure phase standard error as they cause problems with ; delimiters splitting lines in CMake.

Workaround: Do not use square brackets in filenames or paths to filenames.

Custom Command output on Visual Studio Generators not available

The command name add_custom_target on Visual Studio generators will never be printed in the build logs, even with the highest verbosity settings. This makes it impossible to check the build logs to see if commands ran.

A similar issue theoretically exists for add_custom_command, but this can be worked around.

Workaround: Avoid running commands in add_custom_target. Instead, generate a file and use add_custom_command instead.
