Integrate tests into a “make test” target

[comburent]

Hi,

Would you consider using CMake's CTest module in order to have the standard make test target from the default CMakeLists.txt?
These automated tests are useful for distributions where package testing is considered a part of the build process and helps spotting issues before the updates are sent.

You mean the unit tests?

This involves a complete redesign of the test suite.

This involves a complete redesign of the test suite.

Would you consider it?
The test can be patched from the distribution side though it's best if things can be solved directly upstream.

[jcorporation]

Yes, I would accept patches.

The unit test framework seems to support running specific tests. We could simply expose this.
