Hi, I am having difficulty getting a python script to run a C++ subprocess on Window 7 using VS2013. On Linux, the following code works fine, but on Windows, from the command line I get the following output:
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 12.00.21005.1 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. Running tests... Test project C:/work/s/sandbox/ctestpy/b Start 1: sample_test 1/1 Test #1: sample_test ......................***Not Run 0.00 sec 0% tests passed, 1 tests failed out of 1 Total Test time (real) = 0.06 sec The following tests FAILED: 1 - sample_test (BAD_COMMAND) Errors while running CTest NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'echo' : return code '0x8' Stop. No matter what options I supply to ctest, I can't seem to get any additional insight. I am assuming that for some reason the WORKING_DIRECTORY isn't being obeyed on Windows? If I run the python script manually from the command prompt, it works fine. The python executable is in my $PATH.On Linux I am using CMake 3.3.1, and on Windows I have CMake 3.2.3. ---- sample.cpp int main() { return 0; } -------------- sample_test.py #!/usr/bin/env python import sys import subprocess sample = subprocess.Popen("./sample") sample.wait() if sample.returncode != 0: sys.exit(1) else: sys.exit(0) ~ ------------------------ CMakeLists.txt cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0) project(sampleprg) enable_testing() add_executable( sample sample.cpp ) add_test(NAME sample_test COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/sample_test.py WORKING_DIRECTORY ${EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH} ) -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
