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:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ 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.
