BUILD_TESTING

Control whether the :module:CTest module invokes :command:enable_testing.

The :module:CTest module, when loaded by include(CTest), runs code of the form:

.. code-block:: cmake

option(BUILD_TESTING "..." ON) if (BUILD_TESTING) # ... enable_testing() # ... endif()

This creates a BUILD_TESTING option that controls whether the :command:enable_testing command is invoked to enable generation of tests to run using :manual:ctest(1). See the :command:add_test command to create tests.

.. note::

Call include(CTest) in the top-level source directory since :manual:ctest(1) expects to find a test file in the top-level build directory.
