Summary

0015557: CTest misses build errors if launchers enabled in CTest but not in CMake

Description

When using CTest with launchers ("ctest -S script" with script setting CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS=ON), CTest expects xml files in Testing/*/Build/.
If it finds none, then no error/warning is reported.

Thus, if there is a misconfiguration where CMake is *not* configured with launchers, then build errors are lost.

This happened to me because ctest_configure(OPTIONS "-DCTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS=${CTEST_USE_LAUNCHERS}") is silently overwritten by set(CTEST_CONFIGURE_COMMAND "...")

I report this issue first to have a public trace of this, to help others that could run into this bug (it took me quite some time to understand the misconfiguration...)

I don't necessarily expect a fix, because it's clearly a misconfiguration.

Maybe ctest_configure(OPTIONS) should not be silently ignored:
either append options to CTEST_CONFIGURE_COMMAND (but this could break misconfigured ctest scripts that otherwise globally work); or log a warning explaining that the OPTIONS is set but will be ignored (this is probably the best solution).
