I’d like my CDash build names to include the build configuration (not sure why that’s not listed anywhere in CDash by default). Unless I’m missing something, it seems non-trivial to override this, I can’t find any CLI flags or variables you can set for this, it looks like I’d have to resort to writing a custom CDash script?
How are people handling this? Am I missing something obvious here?
In a CTest script, there is CTEST_BUILD_NAME.
So to customize the build name, do I need to use a custom ctest script? Currently I’ve just been running ctest -D Nightly
The DartConfiguration.tcl file seems to have a BUILDNAME variable that might be used from the configure step. Does that work?
Does that mean you can set a variable called BUILDNAME in the configure stage?
It comes from somewhere, yes. I don’t know if CTest unconditionally builds it from other info or not. I’d try it and see what happens.
