Trying to add tests for my cmake for catch2 with ctest.
Another possible issue would be the include(Catch) in your root cmakelists.txt . To include Catch there it must be part of your module path. Otherwise you have to include the path to that catch2 cmake file. Here is that file in their repository - https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2/blob/devel/extras/Catch.cmake . I recon that CMake doesn't know about this file since you call find_package(Catch2 REQUIRED) later in your subdirectory

Starting with C
Okay, time to start unit tests!!! We will use Unity Test Framework to do unit testing. It is one of widely used testing frameworks alongside with Check, Google Test etc. Just downloading source code, and putting it to the project folder is enough to make it work (that is also why it is portable).

Automatically run tests, formatters & linters with CI!
Roy's project uses Google Test, a C++ testing framework. His testing setup is similar to mine as we both keep source files in one directory and tests in another. The key difference is that I can run the tests using the Visual Studios run button. It was fairly easy to write the new tests as there were existing ones that I could reference to check the syntax!

CI/CD pipelines for embedded
Not sure about CppUnit but I can speak to my previous experience using the googletest framework which compiles your tests to an executable, and since it's a very simple framework we were able to cross-compile and run directly on our device. We just had to hook up a device to the server that was running the CI so it could flash it when needed. That basically meant that our process was:

What are some alternatives?
When comparing Catch and Google Test you can also consider the following projects:

Boost.Test - The reference C++ unit testing framework (TDD, xUnit, C++03/11/14/17)
CppUTest - CppUTest unit testing and mocking framework for C/C++
CppUnit - C++ port of JUnit
