Control log_level of Boost.Test via ctest on Windows

[redboltz]

ctest runs executables that are using Boost.Test.
The executables take arguments like --log_level=all.
I couldn't find a easy way to provide the arguments via ctest.

Boost.Test can handle both boost test options and user program options.

./a.out --log_level=all -- arg1 arg2

After -- , I can pass the arguments for the program.

I expect the similar functionality to ctest.
e.g)

ctest -V -- --log_level=all -- arg1 arg2

However, there isn't.

So I used the following hack.

mqtt_cpp/test/args_provider.sh

Lines 1 to 3 in 2627573

	#!/bin/sh
	$1 $(echo ${CTEST_ARGS})

mqtt_cpp/test/CMakeLists.txt

Line 131 in 2627573

ADD_TEST (NAME ${source_file_we} COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/args_provider.sh ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${source_file_we})

mqtt_cpp/.github/workflows/gha.yml

Line 86 in 2627573

CTEST_ARGS="--log_level=all" ctest -VV

It works.

However, I tired to do the same thing on windows but I couldn't do that.

Here is a part of code I tried.

mqtt_cpp/test/args_provider.ps1

Lines 1 to 2 in 2627573

	Param( $command )
	Start-Process -FilePath $command -ArgumentList $env:CTEST_ARGS -Wait

mqtt_cpp/azure-pipelines.yml

Lines 155 to 157 in 2627573

	# If you want to debug a specific test file with logs, do as follows instead of execute ctest
	# Release\resend.exe --log_level=all
	ctest -VV -C Release

It remains in master for future.
