    GoogleTest: Avoid silent failures of dynamic test discovery · 0767016e
    Moritz Haase authored
    The internal helper variable '_GOOGLETEST_DISCOVER_TESTS_SCRIPT' can have gone
    out-of-scope when 'gtest_discover_tests()' is called, depending on where the
    GoogleTest module is actually included. This leads to a silent failure of
    dynamic test discovery, since the custom post-build commands actually does
    nothing (it basically invokes 'cmake -P ""'). Ctest will then fail to run the
    tests, considering them to be 'not built'.
    
    Fix this by determining the path to the GoogleTest module based on
    '${CMAKE_ROOT}' instead, which is always available.
    
    A new test case was added to test suite 'RunCMake/GoogleTest' to ensure that
    'gtest_discover_tests()' works correctly when invoked in a different variable
    scope.
    
    Fixes: #25477
