CMake-based unit tests vs. VS Test Explorer

[kx101]

Hi,
I am evaluating the VisualGDB unit test project for remote linux host based on CMake.
Before I used MSBuild and the gtests all showed up in VS Test Explorer.
However, I don’t get this to work with a CMake based unit test project.

Is there are limitation? Is a CMake based VisualGDB unit test project not utilizing
VS Test Explorer?

Thanks for any info.

Hi,

CMake-based tests should work just fine. Most likely, some of the settings you specified are preventing them from working.

We can help you get it working if you could share the steps to reproduce the problem from scratch:

1. The steps should begin with launching Visual Studio. They should include every step necessary to create the project from scratch and reproduce the issue.
2. Please make sure the steps do not involve any 3rd-party code as we will not be able to review it. If the problem only happens with a specific project, please make sure you can reproduce it on a clean project created from scratch. See this page for more information and detailed examples.
3. The steps should include uncropped screenshots of all wizard pages, VisualGDB Project Properties pages and any other GUI involved in reproducing the problem. This is critical for us to be able to reproduce the problem on our side.

You can read more about the best way to report VisualGDB issues in our problem reporting guidelines, If you do not wish to document the repro steps and save the screenshots, please consider recording a screen video instead and sending us a link to it.
