CTEST_PRESET

.. versionadded:: 4.4

Specify a preset name to use for all relevant :manual:ctest(1) :ref:Dashboard Client steps in a dashboard script, or on the :program:ctest command line via the :ctest-dashboard-option:-D option.

This variable sets the PRESET option for :command:ctest_configure, :command:ctest_build, :command:ctest_test, and :command:ctest_memcheck when those commands are not given an explicit PRESET argument and the corresponding command-specific variable (:variable:CTEST_CONFIGURE_PRESET, :variable:CTEST_BUILD_PRESET, or :variable:CTEST_TEST_PRESET) is also unset.

For :command:ctest_configure, an error is raised if no configure preset with this name exists. For :command:ctest_build, :command:ctest_test, and :command:ctest_memcheck, a warning is emitted and the variable is ignored if no preset of the matching type exists with this name.
