# set_tests_properties

Set a property of the tests.

    set_tests_properties(<tests>...
                         [DIRECTORY <dir>]
                         PROPERTIES <prop1> <value1>
                         [<prop2> <value2>]...)

Sets a property for the tests. If the test is not found, CMake will report an error.

Test property values may be specified using `generator expressions` for tests created by the `add_test(NAME)` signature.

Added in version 3.28: Visibility can be set in other directory scopes using the following option:

`DIRECTORY <dir>`

  The test properties will be set in the `<dir>` directory's scope. CMake must already know about this directory, either by having added it through a call to `add_subdirectory()` or it being the top level source directory. Relative paths are treated as relative to the current source directory. `<dir>` may reference a binary directory.
