CMake Testing Process

The following documents the process for running integration testing builds. See documentation on CMake Development for more information.

CMake Dashboard Scripts

The integration testing step of the CMake Review Process uses a set of testing machines that follow an integration branch on their own schedule to drive testing and submit results to the CMake CDash Page. Anyone is welcome to provide testing machines in order to help keep support for their platforms working.

The CMake Dashboard Scripts Repository provides CTest scripts to drive nightly, continuous, and experimental testing of CMake. Use the following commands to set up a new integration testing client:

$ mkdir -p ~/Dashboards
$ cd ~/Dashboards
$ git clone https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/dashboard-scripts.git CMakeScripts
$ cd CMakeScripts

The cmake_common.cmake script contains comments at the top with instructions to set up a testing client. As it instructs, create a CTest script with local settings and include cmake_common.cmake.

Nightly Start Time

The cmake_common.cmake script expects its includer to be run from a nightly scheduled task (cron job). Schedule such tasks for sometime after 1:00am UTC, the time at which our nightly testing branches fast-forward.
