CMakeLists.txt: How to print a message if ctest fails?

Question

Is there a way I can setup CMakeLists.txt to print a message if ctest tests fail? For example:

cmake ..
make
ctest // fails
message output: Please contact xyz@mail.com to resolve testing problems.

You can use message, which can help you output information to the configuration log process.

That does not output message in ctest or make test right? – Blizzard Apr 15 '16 at 02:13
oh, you mean as target? If so...then you'll need to go deaper with [CTest](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/ctest.html). The link points you about the current features. As a sidenote, you can create a custom target and grab its exits status without ctest. – Joel Apr 15 '16 at 04:27
Yes, I looked at it but couldn't figure out myself, I was hoping someone can give me an example. – Blizzard Apr 15 '16 at 18:47
