.tip/deps with invalid entries does not produce an error

[matthew-dews]

Hi,

in .tipi/deps I had

"google/googletest": {
        "u": true,
        "package": "GTest"
    },

this produced a CMake error because I wrote package instead of packages. I think that having an incorrect entry in .tipi/deps should produce a hard error, otherwise it's easy to lose a lot of time troubleshooting the wrong problem.

I feel so sorry for this issue, thanks for sharing with me after the talk here at CppCon, we are reworking the UX and these kinds of issues should be pointed out by our system.

Are you building exclusively with a CMakeLists or are you building your own app without ?

[matthew-dews]

I am building without CMakelists.txt currently. You can see the code here: https://github.com/matthew-dews/tipi-build-starter/tree/f8d53d16a6eb0075bee33b3b893fc69fd3ce8375

GoogleTest automatic test detection isn't working properly, I think I need to add some CMakeLists.txt, but the repo in that state shows how GoogleTest is being included.

Thank you for sending the link to this complete set of goals and examples.

Regarding GoogleTest yes for it to work properly for the moment you would need a use-cmake.tipi file and an appropriate CMakeLists.txt in the test folder to register them.

We will see what we can do to enable automatic detection without CMake and reach back.

Hello @matthew-dews I added a PR to show you how best this could be solved with GTest and Boost : matthew-dews/tipi-build-starter#1

It uses GTest via a use-cmake.tipi in the test folder and it imports Boost in the best way ( that can benefit properly from the cache ).
