03 / ORIGINAL ISSUE TEXT

microsoft/verona #114 · read the original issue

I tried to build Verona today and _all_ tests failed on master, which doesn't make sense.



When running `ctest -R <test> -V` I noticed the error was:

```

9: CMake Error at .../verona/testsuite/common.cmake:11 (message):

9:    To run tests you must build the install target.

```



It's not a widespread practice to require `ninja install` before testing, but it's not uncommon either. 



The best "fix" would be to create a `ninja check` which depends on `install` and just runs `ctest`. 



Another option would be to not require installing and take the binaries and libraries from the build directory.
