I have a test ( add_test(NAME MyTest COMMAND MyExecutable ) that I would like to run only have some "preparation" tasks have been done. When I have one test that depends on another test, I will use SET_TESTS_PROPERTIES(TestA PROPERTIES DEPENDS AnotherTest) , but is there a way I can do something like SET_TESTS_PROPERTIES(TestA PROPERTIES DEPENDS file(REMOVE /path/to/file)) ?

The one way I can think of is using some Python or other scripts as test driver in following way as per documentation :

add_test(NAME test_req_some_ops_before
        COMMAND testDriver.py --config $<CONFIGURATION>
                              --exe $<TARGET_FILE:myexe>
                              --path <here path to delete>)
which should do whatever you want
                I see what you mean. We don't actually need the --config and --exe here, right? Just add_test(NAME test_req_some_ops_before         COMMAND DeletePath.py --path-to-delete <here path to delete>) would work, right?

                If you don't need generic script - yes.  --config and --exe will be used if you'll make some generic test runner.
