get_test_property

Get a property of the test.

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

Get a property from the test. The value of the property is stored in the variable VAR. If the test property is not found, the behavior depends on whether it has been defined to be an INHERITED property or not (see define_property()). Non-inherited properties will set VAR to "NOTFOUND", whereas inherited properties will search the relevant parent scope as described for the define_property() command and if still unable to find the property, VAR will be set to an empty string.

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

New 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.
