right now, ctest only reports failed tests as failed. With ctest --output-on-failure it would increase verbosity, by throwing out anything that the failed test program has thrown out before.
cmake-utils.eclass is already doing that: > [[ -n ${TEST_VERBOSE} ]] && myctestargs+=( --extra-verbose --output-on-failure ) There's also: > if [[ -n "${CMAKE_YES_I_WANT_TO_SEE_THE_TEST_LOG}" ]] ; then > (prints LastTest.log) So, just set these variables to get more verbosity. ;)
