I am learning ctest as a testing driver for my cmake built project. I am confused by the use of the "-T" option. I'm looking for a ELI5 description to clarify the sparse description provided in the documentation. Examples of using ctest -T start
, ctest -T build
, and ctest -T test
would be particularly useful.
From the ctest documentation, this is the definition of the -T
option:
-T , --test-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
