Summary0002147: UseSlicer requires GIT_EXECUTABLE
Description

Including UseSlicer.cmake requires the caller to first set GIT_EXECUTABLE. If this variable is not set, the following error occurs:

CMake Error at C:/gcs6/build/slicer-4/Slicer4/Extensions/CMake/SlicerBlockUploadExtension.cmake:19 (message):
Variable GIT_EXECUTABLE is set to an inexistent directory or file !
[GIT_EXECUTABLE-NOTFOUND]
Call Stack (most recent call first):
C:/gcs6/build/slicer-4/Slicer4/Extensions/CMake/SlicerEnableExtensionTesting.cmake:19 (include)
C:/gcs6/build/slicer-4/Slicer-build/Slicer-build/UseSlicer.cmake:373 (include)

Additional Information

Similar problems will presumably occur if Subversion_SVN_EXECUTABLE is not defined, but I didn't test this.

TagsNo tags attached.

Consider reading the comments at the top of https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/CMake/UseSlicer.cmake.in

You could skip the requirement of Git/svn by settings Slicer_SKIP_SlicerEnableExtensionTesting to True

That said, note that building your extension with testing is required so that your extension can be tested by our dashboard on a nightly basis.

To get a better understanding of why git and svn are required, you could have a look at [1], [2], [3] and [4]

In a nutshell, git or svn are used to extract information associated with the source repository.
