I want to hand arguments to a test script which I can do with a regular call:

rostest package_name testlaunchfile.test argument1:=vaule1 argument2:=value2

But what do I do in CMakeLists:

add_rostest(test/testlaunchfile.test argument1:=vaule1 argument2:=value2)

I realize that it wount be working like this because the arguments are interpreted as source files.
But what can I do?

Edit: What I tried before:

I was giving the arguments to the launchfile via env vars. which seems to not work either. when i set them manually, it works. but catkin seems to fail setting them correctly. Any Ideas on that?

You can pass arbitrary arguments to rostest using the ARGS KEYWORD, e.g.

add_rostest(test/testlaunchfile.test ARGS argument1:=vaule1 argument2:=value2)

This is the third result for `rostest arguments`: https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/issues/232 which I see you've already found.

You shouldn't need to pass in arguments from the CMakeLists.txt like that. If test/testlaunchfile.test requires arguments you should wrap it in another .test file which includes it and sets the arguments.

<launch>
  <include file="$(find package_name)/test/testlaunchfile.test">
    <arg name="argument1" value="value1" />
    <arg name="argument2" value="value2" />
  </include>
</launch>

EDIT: @Dirk Thomas's answers is better.

Thanks for your answer. My Problem is that i decide at compile time what i want to test and due to that i have to pass arguments to the test script.
