Documentation for Release 2024.1

Running Binaries From Command Line

This page explains how to run binaries directly rather than via ctest.

Note

The recommended way to run test suite binaries is via ctest. See the CMake Build Guide for more information.

The information on this page assumes you are using a build directory BUILD_DIR, and that you have created a binary by first running cmake and then building a target using make.

Binaries for each component are created in

$BUILD_DIR/component/test

regardless of any directory structure within the component itself. For instance, let us assume you have built the mesh component and wish to run the test suite /mesh/test/writer/TestMeshWriters.hpp. The binary will be found at

$BUILD_DIR/mesh/test/TestMeshWriters
