I have setup XRootD to use various sanitizers by setting the appropriate memory check tool, like this:
However, when I run the tests and they pass, I get annoying messages about the output of the memory checker not been found.

These messages seem to be from here:
Is there a way to supress those messages? CMake is assuming that these output files will always be there, but when using the address sanitizer or other sanitizers, the output file will only be there if there is a problem, so we get a lot of noise for tests that actually pass the checks.
It would also be nice if CTest would by default behave more like our test.cmake script, for example by selecting the default generator, etc. It would make it much easier for projects to adopt dashboards in their CI workflows.
Thank you!
