Description

Configuring CMake with stdexec as a dependency works the first time entirely from scratch (on Mac/Windows). However, subsequent calls to CMake will produce the following error:

CMake Error at build/_deps/stdexec-src/test/CMakeLists.txt:140 (include):
  include could not find requested file:

    /contrib/Catch.cmake


CMake Error at build/_deps/stdexec-src/test/CMakeLists.txt:142 (catch_discover_tests):
  Unknown CMake command "catch_discover_tests".

Deleting the cache seems to work, except on Linux which seems to have this problem more persistently.

We're configuring with STD_BUILD_TESTS turned off.

Research direction

Reproduce the first and subsequent CMake configurations with STD_BUILD_TESTS disabled, including the Linux case. Inspect build/_deps/stdexec-src/test/CMakeLists.txt around lines 140-142 and determine why the later configure cannot find /contrib/Catch.cmake or catch_discover_tests; done means repeated configuration succeeds without these errors.
