get_test_property — CMake 4.4.1 Documentation

# get_test_property

Get a property of the test.

    get_test_property(<test> <property> [DIRECTORY <dir>] <variable>)

Get a property from the test. The value of the property is stored in the specified `<variable>`. If the `<test>` is not defined, or the test property is not found, `<variable>` will be set to `NOTFOUND`. If the test property was defined to be an `INHERITED` property (see `define_property()`), the search will include the relevant parent scopes, as described for the `define_property()` command.

For a list of standard properties you can type `cmake --help-property-list`.

Added in version 3.28: Directory scope can be overridden with the following sub-option:

`DIRECTORY <dir>`

  The test property will be read from the `<dir>` directory's scope. CMake must already know about that source directory, either by having added it through a call to `add_subdirectory()` or `<dir>` being the top level source directory. Relative paths are treated as relative to the current source directory. `<dir>` may reference a binary directory.
