New tests not being run

[Martin Michlmayr]

When I git clone the repo, run
./acprep --debug --python
make -j4
make check

And *then* add a new test and run 'make check' again, the new test is
not being executed.

Can someone with cmake experience look into this?

Hi,
I came across this issue too, found an explanation, but
no better solution than ./acprep [git]clean.

The explanation is that test/CMakeLists.txt defines the
add_ledger_harness_tests macro which is used by the
test/{baseline,manual,regress/CMakeLists.txt to add
tests.

The macro globs for *.test in the given directory and
generates a cmake cache entry¹ for the test, which is
then used by ctest as far as I understood.

So, the solution [cw]ould be to force cmake into regenerating
its cache for the test/ directory.


Cheers,

This is exactly right, and I must do it myself each time as well.

Hi,
I found a better solution to doing acprep gitclean in order to add new tests.
CMake provides the functionality to rebuild its cache, with the Ninja
generator for example you run: % ninja rebuild_cache

This will rebuild the cache and the next test run will include the new test.

Cool! That's great to know, thanks Alexis.
