Summary

0015619: ctest stderr vs stdout

Description

I have a ctest script which basically has:
ctest_start()
...
ctest_build()
ctest_test()

I invoke that script with
ctest -V -S my.ctest 1>mytest.stdout 2>mytest.stderr

And I'm hoping that mytest.stderr will contain only errors in my script, not build or test errors from within ctest_build() and ctest_test().

However, errors like
Unable to find executable: /path/to/executable
from ctest_test() can leak into the mytest.stderr if there are build errors.

I don't think that is expected behavior.

Steps To Reproduce

All in the same directory:

=== CMakeLists.txt ===
include (CTest)
add_test(NAME MyTest COMMAND nonexist_executable)

=== my.ctest ===
set(CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR})
set(CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY ${CMAKE_CURRENT_LIST_DIR})

ctest_start(Experimental)
ctest_test()

=== CTestConfig.cmake ===
<empty>

Then run
cmake .
ctest -V -S my.ctest 1> mytest.stdout 2> mytest.stderr

Look at the output of mytest.stdout and mytest.stderr

Also, mytest.stderr contains:
Error in read script: /home/cjstimp/cubit/cdash/test-ctest/my.ctest
However, the script itself did run successfully.
