This is done to allow access to the eeschema library
internals for purposes of test and script access, as the
DLL library has highly restrictive -fvisibility settings
that otherwise prevent the tests being able to access 99.9%
of the eeschema library functions (only a single function
is APIEXPORT'ed, therefore that's the only test we can do).
Using object libraries is a bit of a hack, and makes for
a slower link when done for multiple targets, but with the currently
supported CMake versions, it's about as good as we can get.
A better solution in the longer term may be to break eeschema_kiface(_objects)
into many smaller libraries, each of which has a much more defined scope,
rather than one big interlinked amorphous lump. This has the advantage that
each module is testable in isolation, and we get better organisation of
inter-dependencies in the codebase.
Then, the kiface DLL will gather these sub-libs and present what
is needed on the visible DLL API. Thus, we get both a testable
suite of library functions, and a restricted kiface DLL interface.
Add a new CMake target, qa_all, which builds all
tests, tools and their deps.
Then, when KICAD_BUILD_QA_TESTS is set OFF, remove tests
and tools from the ALL target, so `make all` doesn't include
these builds.
This means even when you turn the KICAD_BUILD_QA_TESTS option
off, you still have the option to:
* Build individual tests: `make qa_pcbnew`
* Build all tests: `make qa_all_tests`
* Build all tools: `make qa_all_tools`
* Build all QA executables: `make qa_all`
This also will provide a place to hang extra logic for test routine
wrangling (e.g. by CI tools)
Update the "Compiling KiCad" dev docs.
Also, CMakeModules .cmake files should not be excluded from git
Also provide a utility function to get this path, and
a way to override at run time to quickly sub in alternative
data.
The test itself is still broken, as this plugin won't accept
a call to Load() without a KiWay.
Redesignate the eagle test as eeschema tests and build
more like the other unit tests.
Enable as a test in Ctest now that the test executes without
crashing.
The loading of the file with the hardocded part is still
not enabled, as this needs more infrastructure to support it.
