We created multiple additional functions for CMake. They became quite a lot, and we need to (unit) test them. There are simple ones, that are only variable bases like: function(join_list LIST GLUE) These can be tested with a custom CMake Script, that checks the results. For this we also wrote a set of assert-macros. This becomes way harder when the functions are target based: function(target_my_custom_property_set TARGET VALUE) We need a multiple CMakeLists.txt Files that need to be configured. Configuration must succeed or fail with specified messages. Also the result files must be checked. I wonder, is there an easier way? Is there a existing framework? How does Kitware test the shipped modules? Note: My original Stackoverflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51948060/testing-our-cmake-modules
Thanks, Felix
