Projects would ``include(Dart)`` to use it, +and the ``Dart`` module would run ``find_package(Dart)`` internally. +Since :manual:`ctest(1)` was created, the ``Dart`` module has just been +a compatibility shim that finds ``Dart`` to support some legacy +functionality and then forwards to the :module:`CTest` module. + +CMake 3.27 and above prefer to not provide the :module:`Dart` or +:module:`FindDart` modules. This policy provides compatibility for +projects that have not been ported away from them. Projects using the +``Dart`` module should be updated to use the :module:`CTest` module directly. + +The ``OLD`` behavior of this policy is for ``include(Dart)`` and +``find_package(Dart)`` to load the deprecated modules. The ``NEW`` +behavior is for uses of the modules to fail as if they do not exist. + +This policy was introduced in CMake version 3.27. CMake version +|release| warns when the policy is not set and uses ``OLD`` behavior. +Use the :command:`cmake_policy` command to set it to ``OLD`` or ``NEW`` +explicitly. + +.. include:: DEPRECATED.txt |
