For context, I am using Visual Studio 2022 with:

• Test Adapter for Google Test installed from the VS installer
• a newly created CMake project from the corresponding project template

CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)
project(my_project)

# GoogleTest requires at least C++14
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 14)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

include(FetchContent)
FetchContent_Declare(
  googletest
  URL https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/03597a01ee50ed33e9dfd640b249b4be3799d395.zip
)
# For Windows: Prevent overriding the parent project's compiler/linker settings
set(gtest_force_shared_crt ON CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
FetchContent_MakeAvailable(googletest)

enable_testing()

add_executable(
  hello_test
  hello_test.cpp
)
target_link_libraries(
  hello_test
  gtest_main
)

include(GoogleTest)
gtest_discover_tests(hello_test)

hello_test.cpp:

#include <gtest/gtest.h>
         ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (errors out here)

I copied CMakeLists.txt straight from the primer page with some changes:

• hello_test.cc -> hello_test.cpp
• GTest::gtest_main -> gtest_main

While the CMake cache generates, I still can’t include <gtest/gtest.h> in hello_test.cpp. It likely isn’t intellisense screwing me over since the program just straight up doesn’t want to build. I’m happy to share more error information if requested.

What should I do to get GTest to work on my project?
