Hi all, I've just switched to cmake and I'm trying to do one thing that in qmake was very simple. I have many libraries, each of them with many tests under the tests directory. In the past I had a .pro file that referenced to other .pro files: one for the .pro of all the libs and another one for the .pro of all the tests. In this way in Qt creator I had the two things, libs and tests, separated. I'm trying to make the same thing now with cmake, both using add_subdirectory() and include(). I have tried all the possible ways BUT it does not seem possible to achieve this simple goal. In all cases the tests appear under the library folder. I am starting to thing that the problem is not cmake but how qt creator manages cmake projects. I hope there is a way because I really liked that organization. The only alternative way I can think of is to open two separate cmake projects in qt creator, one for libs and another for the tests,but this is not what I want to. Thank you in advance Edit: I am not using ctest but google test and it would be awesome to make this work not only for tests but for any combination of libs

CMake already has the SOURCES property, you just need to use cmake generator expressions to use it. Take this example: cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.16) project(WidgetsApp VERSION 0.1 LANGUAGES CXX) add_subdirectory(app) add_subdirectory(tests) add_custom_target(MyApp SOURCES $<LIST:TRANSFORM,$<LIST:FILTER,$<TARGET_PROPERTY:WidgetsApp,SOURCES>,EXCLUDE,.*_autogen/.*>,PREPEND,app/> )
