Describe the bug
Using cmake to build my application and catch_discover_tests to find all the catch tests defined, I came across the following issue.
While it's possible to set PROPERTIES in catch_discover_tests that will be used to run the tests with, those same properties are not passed to the process that runs the test executable to parse the various tests defined in the application.
Expected behavior
I would expect that the same environment would be used to run the test executable to find out which tests to run and to actually run the tests.
Reproduction steps
catch_discover_tests(${test_name} TEST_PREFIX "${test_name}/" PROPERTIES ENVIRONMENT "TEST_ENV_VAR=MY_VAR")
Platform information:
- OS: Linux
- Compiler+version: GCC v7.4.0,8.2.0/clang 8
- Catch version: master brach
- Cmake version: 3.10.2
Supplementary information:
I would like to be able to set one or more environment variables to a specific value for the tests only, without having to manually set it through the command line before compiling the application to run every invocation of the application executable with the same environment.
