Simple question on building and running tests

[Neotriple]

Hi there,

Just wanted to know how to run the tests in the tests folder when building. I tried running

make test however, received an error stating:

Running tests...
Test project /home/blah/Applications/osqp-eigen/build~
No tests were found!!

Sorry for such a simple question.

Hi @Neotriple, osqp-eigen follows the typical practice of CMake project w.r.t. to testing, so to enable and run tests you need to configure the CMake project with -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON, and then run the tests (assuming you are using make) with make test or ctest .. You can check an example of how this is done in GitHub Actions: https://github.com/robotology/osqp-eigen/blob/a5ba242ee8263dc2c101af4a6c8c6fb5795ba4dc/.github/workflows/ci.yml#L130
