The change introduced in 98e8180e56
fixes reconfiguration issues for repositories that provide plugins
associated with modules from a different repository
(QSvgPlugin -> QtGui -> qtbase).
It does so by only loading the public Plugin CMake packages of
dependent repositories.
For executables / tests that are built as part of the current
repository, plugins are linked via a different simplified mechanism in
qt_add_internal_plugin and qt_internal_add_plugin in order to prevent
exporting link cycles between plugins and Qt modules.
This works for the majority of in-tree tests, but unfortunately breaks
static standalone tests.
For example in qtbase neither mechanism will link plugins to the
standalone tests:
- qtbase has no repo dependencies, so the first mechanism (loading of
public plugin packages) is skipped because we assume we are merely
reconfiguring the main build of qtbase and we don't want to
accidentally create duplicate plugin targets
- because a standalone test configuration does not call
qt_internal_add_plugin, no association is done between qt plugin
and module and thus all tests (qt_internal_add_test ->
qt_internal_add_executable) don't get the simplified plugin
linking
Fix this by allowing loading of the public CMake plugin packages when
doing standalone tests. It should be safe to do so because we don't
build any plugins in this case, only tests.
