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

Test frameworks recommendation
I’ve only used greatest.h before. It was pretty ok, easy enough to use.
-
Basic programming help
Get a unit test library/framework. There are many good ones, but if you can't decide take greatest because it's a single-header library and easy to use.

I have a problem with my final assignment, can you help me?
I'd recommend writing tests. Use a testing library (e.g. Unity or Greatest). Even if that sounds like more work right now, it can help find issues early, gives you confidence that your code does what it should, and often lets you progress much faster.

I use greatest it's pretty easy and just a header to copy into the source tree.

(TL;DR greatest is the greatest test framework I could find for that particular use case. See my "research I did" link for details.)
