FIXED : Automated Interop Tests

Former Issue

Testing of interop running currently requires user interaction to dismiss OpenGL windows that pop up.

Workout a way to automatically do this, or even better avoid popping up a window and instead use some non-visible framebuffer.

This would then allow to implement tests that compare digests of interop and compute simulations.

How Fixed

Bash functions opticks-t and opticks-ti set an option that ctest interprets and as a result sets envvar CTEST_INTERACTIVE_DEBUG_MODE in the interactive case. This is detected in SSys::IsCTestInteractiveDebugMode() and honoured in ggeoview/App.cc by exiting prior to the render loop.

--interactive-debug-mode 0   ## no interactivity
--interactive-debug-mode 1   ## interactive GUI windows OK

Actually already have –noviz/-V* option

GGeoViewTest -V --save

Detecting CTest Running ?

simon:tests blyth$ sysrap-t -R SysRapTest.SEnvTest -V

1: SSH_INFOFILE=/Users/blyth/.ssh-agent-info
1: _=/opt/local/bin/ctest
1: CTEST_INTERACTIVE_DEBUG_MODE=1

• https://cmake.org/Wiki/CTest_2.4.4_Docs

--interactive-debug-mode [0|1]
  Set the interactive mode to 0 or 1.

  This option causes ctest to run tests in either an interactive mode or
  a non-interactive mode.  On Windows this means that in non-interactive
  mode, all system debug pop up windows are blocked.  In dashboard mode
  (Experimental, Nightly, Continuous), the default is non-interactive.
  When just running tests not for a dashboard the default is to allow
  popups and interactive debugging.

sysrap-t --interactive-debug-mode 0 -R SysRapTest.SEnvTest -V  ## no envvar CTEST_INTERACTIVE_DEBUG_MODE in non-interactive mode

1: DART_TEST_FROM_DART=1
1: DASHBOARD_TEST_FROM_CTEST=3.4.1

sysrap-t --interactive-debug-mode 1 -R SysRapTest.SEnvTest -V    ## this is the default

1: _=/opt/local/bin/ctest
1: CTEST_INTERACTIVE_DEBUG_MODE=1

Currently the windows popup whilst testing:

opticks-t : use -V to show output
