cmake project support?

[130s]

Just got a question if industrial_ci supports cmake, non catkin package (I assume something still related to ROS. E.g. ROS QtCreator plugin) from @Levi-Armstrong.

I wouldn't say we would plan to support cmake project, at least for now, given industrial_ci is currently tied to catkin_tools. But I'll leave this open for discussion.

If catkin_tools support plain cmake packages, industrial_ci supports it as well.

according to the docs (Workspace Mechanics - Source Packages and Dependencies) it does not.

It should work for cmake projects with proper package.xml.
The default source test does not work for for non-catkin packages.
What should get tested for bare cmake projects?

However, it should be possible to choose or provide other tests (#98)

true, but I would not call that a 'plain cmake' package anymore.

ament changes this.

I have a plain-CMake project that is wrapped into ROS as an external library via a package.xml and <buildtype>cmake</buildtype>. Catkin builds it just fine and industrial-ci does so too, but it tries to test and of course can't find the output directories for catkin_test_results ... - hence it fails in PRERELEASE mode. Is there a workaround for this I am unaware of?

Prerelease just wraps https://github.com/ros-infrastructure/ros_buildfarm, not sure if it supports plain cmake packages

can't find the output directories for catkin_test_results

This should not show an error.
catkin_test_results just crawls for xunit reports and dispays their errors found in there.
No xunit file, no error:

Summary: 0 tests, 0 errors, 0 failures, 0 skipped

I may have misinterpreted the travis result/error - the build I am referring to is here

No, you did not..
It looks like the the ros_buildfarm scripts passes a directory that is not exisiting.
NOT_TEST_INSTALL and NOT_TEST_BUILD are not used in prerelease test.
I have opened a new issue make this configurable (#362)

You could try the new version (#361), it uses the latest ros_buildfarm version from source,.
If the error persists, you shoud open an issue over there.

colcon support plain cmake project, so it should work with the new master branch
