Build Qt Tests with CMake

Question

Can anyone give me an example of some QT test code and a CMakeLists.txt that build with Cmake and ran with CTest. I can't seem to find any!

Here is an example of using cmake 2.8.11 and Qt5.2. Note that cmake now supports testfiles with a .moc-include at the bottom.

CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.11)
project(foo)

enable_testing()

# Tell CMake to run moc when necessary:
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)

# As moc files are generated in the binary dir, tell CMake
# to always look for includes there:
set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)

find_package(Qt5Test REQUIRED)

add_executable(foo foo.cpp)
add_test(foo foo)

target_link_libraries(foo Qt5::Test)

foo.cpp:

#include <QTest>

class Foo : public QObject {
    Q_OBJECT
private slots:
    void t1() { QVERIFY(true); }
};

QTEST_MAIN(Foo)
#include "foo.moc"
