[00:50:41] Errors while running CTest

I do not know if this is the same behavior folks observe on regular Windows builds or not (cc: @lassoan).

Once integrated, maintainers of https://github.com/SuperElastix/elastix should set up AppVeyor CI using their credentials.

Note that ITK source and build are currently cached.

Hope this helps!

Thanks a lot @fedorov! That is great! Can you add --verbose to ctest so we can see the error messages?

[fedorov]

@kaspermarstal there is already flag -VV to ctest to generate verbose output. If you look at the dashboard: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/fedorov/elastix/build/1.0.8 you will see the verbose output. The log is very long and will take time to render, it might be more efficient to download the raw log file here: https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/g15dh1ylaav2nfx8/log.

[kaspermarstal]

I see. It looks like pxtools needs to be installed. Can you advise @mstaring?

[kaspermarstal]

Thanks @fedorov! We will fix the failing tests in the coming time. We just need to add a light-weight version https://github.com/ITKTools/ITKTools to the Testing suite.

👍 I am glad I could help!
