I'm trying to pass parameters to a gtest test suite from cmake:
add_test(NAME craft_test
COMMAND craft --gtest_output='xml:report.xml')
The issue is that these parameters are being passed surrounded by quotes, why? It looks like a bug, is there a good way for avoiding it?

enable_testing() Enables testing for this directory and below. This command should be in the source directory root because ctest expects to find a test file in the build directory root. This command is automatically invoked when the CTest module is included, except if the BUILD_TESTING option is turned off.
CTest is the part of CMake that handles testing your code. CTest allows for an easy way to run your newly built programs with various argument and option settings, and then check the results against expected output.
¶ CMake facilitates testing your software through special testing commands and the CTest executable. First, we will discuss the key testing commands in CMake. To add testing to a CMake-based project, simply include(CTest) and use the add_test command.
It's not the quotes that CMake adds that is the problem here; it's the single quotes in 'xml:report.xml' that are at fault.
You should do:
add_test(NAME craft_test
COMMAND craft --gtest_output=xml:report.xml)
