No executables generated by building unit test cpp with catkin

I'm trying to build by using catkin my gtest testsuite.

catkin_add_gtest replaces rosbuild_add_gtest according to migrating_from_rosbuild wiki page. rosbuild_add_gtest generates executable for gtest according to this page. Therefore I expects that catkin_add_gtest also generates executable for my test cases. However, no executable is found in my catkin workspace after catkin_makeing.

Part of my CMakeLists.txt:

include_directories(${mypkg_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES} ${catkin_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${MYDEPENDLIB_INCLUDE_DIR})
add_library(${PROJECT_NAME} ${mypkg_SRCS} ${mypkg_MOCS} ${mypkg_UIS_H})
target_link_libraries(${PROJECT_NAME} ${catkin_LIBRARIES} ${QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY} ${QT_QTGUI_LIBRARY} ${MYDEPENDLIB_LIBRARIES})

## Setting Unit Test
catkin_add_gtest(testsuite_mypkg test/test_marble.cpp)
target_link_libraries(testsuite_mypkg ${PROJECT_NAME})

(A library file specified by ${PROJECT_NAME} is generated successfully).

Result of find:

~/catkin_ws$ find . -iname '*test*mypkg*'
./src/mypkg/test/test_mypkg.cpp
./build/mypkg/CMakeFiles/_run_tests_mypkg.dir
./build/mypkg/CMakeFiles/testsuite_mypkg.dir
./build/mypkg/CMakeFiles/_run_tests_mypkg_gtest.dir
./build/mypkg/CMakeFiles/run_tests_mypkg.dir
./build/mypkg/CMakeFiles/_run_tests_mypkg_gtest_testsuite_mypkg.dir
./build/mypkg/CMakeFiles/run_tests_mypkg_gtest.dir
./build/mypkg/CMakeFiles/run_tests_mypkg_gtest_testsuite_mypkg.dir

What is missing/wrong?

Also I searched an example that uses the same catkin_add_gtest to generate executable, and I found test_rosbag. But catkin_makeing it hasn't produced any executables either as far as I've tried.

Thanks!

I'm not sure about intermediate test executables, but there should be tab completable make targets for running the tests. For example:

$ make run_tests

Should build and run all of the tests.

I see. I found that my question is basically the same with this thread that you answered.
