The basic tests now run on Windows correctly without needing to manually
copy any files -- the executables are output in the same location as the
necessary DLLs. However, tests that require *.pyd files (all code in the
Mod subdirectory, basically) still do not work on Windows as the test
executables cannot find those files. This is a work in progress.
Somewhere in the test suite GTest is including cmath (or something related) and not declaring this, so later includes of it by the tests are being ignored.
Rework of the material handling system.
This first part concntrates on a rework of the material cards.
Rather than use a fixed list of possible properties, properties can
be defined separately in their own files and mixed to provide a
complete list of possible properties. Properties can be inherited.
The cards then provide values for the properties. These can also
be inherited allowing for small changes in cards as required.
The new property definitions are more extensive than previously.
2 and 3 dimensional arrays of properties can be defined. Values
are obtained by calling an API instead of reading from a dictionary.
For compatibility, a Python dictionary of values can be obtained
similar to how it was done previously, but this is considered a
deprecated API and won't support the newer advanced features.
The editor is completely reworked. It will be able to edit older format
material cards, but can only save them in the new format.
For testing during the development phase, a system preference can
specifiy wether the old or new material editors are to be used. This
option will be removed before release.
Building the C++ unit tests failed for
tests/src/Mod/Sketcher/App/SketchObject.cpp
because some XML headers were not found. This was because the XercesC
include dir was not in the search list for headers.

This is the same issue as already adresses previously with PR9657 [1] but
the test for SketchObject was added later [2].

I cannot say why only macOS seems to be affected, but it's not the first
time, see e.g 05469895f9
