#340 all windows tests using shared library are failing

[Ulrich Becker]

using buildtools 2022

we noticed, that after commit from 2025-03-28 all tests under windows using shared lib are failing, with same exit code 0xc0000135

in this commit the way for setting the PATH variable for tests was adapted
https://github.com/zint/zint/blob/4d301ea5604cc8f9f2b56f98b9d20718163bceb6/cmake/zint_add_test.cmake#L22
it seems, that only the last call to path_list_prepend is used, so ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/backend/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE} is not in PATH

Hi Ulrich, thanks for pointing this out.

Eventually got this working by reverting to setting the ENVIRONMENT directly and backslashing semicolons in $ENV{PATH}, rather than using ENVIRONMENT_MODIFICATION and path_list_prepend.

It seems to work now in the CI and locally, regards, Martin

Hi Martin,

thank you for your fast reaction, now all tests are running successfully in our CI

Best Regards
