In my CMake file, I set up a Python test environment:
execute_process(
COMMAND pip install -U -r ${REQUIREMENTS}
RESULT_VARIABLE STATUS
)
The issue is, I usually don't need its verbose OUTPUT. So I want to optionally hide it. This is what I've done:
if(SHOW_PIP_LOGS)
execute_process(...)
else()
execute_process(... OUTPUT_QUIET)
endif()
The thing is, there is already a way to control what logs are shown in CMake: it's --log-level coupled with message(). This way I don't need to manage any logging-related variables. But the command outputs directly to stdout, without going through CMake log system.
Can I somehow forward the output of a command invocation to CMake's logs?
The output must be printed on-line, without buffering everything to a variable first, so that if a pip takes a long time installing packages, I can see what's going on.
