CMake cannot find test if CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY is changed

Question

I\'m building my project with CMake, and I\'m trying to create a bunch of test suites for each module. Apparently if I modify the variable CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY

Answer 1

You will also have this problem if your test command contains parameters and you quote them together with the executable name.

So if you have something like this:

    add_test(NAME "name" COMMAND "testExe arg1 arg2 arg3")

Instead do this:

    add_test(NAME "name" COMMAND "testExe" "arg1" "arg2" "arg3")

Otherwise CMake will try to find a test executable name with spaces in it.
