CTEST_PRESET

Specify a preset name to use for all relevant ctest(1) Dashboard Client steps in a dashboard script, or on the ctest command line via the -D option.

This variable sets the PRESET option for ctest_configure(), ctest_build(), ctest_test(), and ctest_memcheck() when those commands are not given an explicit PRESET argument and the corresponding command-specific variable (CTEST_CONFIGURE_PRESET, CTEST_BUILD_PRESET, or CTEST_TEST_PRESET) is also unset.

For ctest_configure(), an error is raised if no configure preset with this name exists. For ctest_build(), ctest_test(), and ctest_memcheck(), a warning is emitted and the variable is ignored if no preset of the matching type exists with this name.
