The ctest command is not working as it is suggested in the CONTRIBUTING.md

[keszegrobert]

My setup was:

user@Macbook-MacBook-Air-4 mujoco_mpc % clang --version
Homebrew clang version 14.0.6
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin20.6.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /usr/local/opt/llvm@14/bin
user@Macbook-MacBook-Air-4 mujoco_mpc % ctest --version
ctest version 3.27.8

After I successfully compiled the code by ninja, tried to run the tests, but the output was this:

user@Macbook-MacBook-Air-4 mujoco_mpc % cd build
user@Macbook-MacBook-Air-4 build % ctest --output-on-failure .
Test project /Users/user/Projects/mujoco_mpc/build
No tests were found!!!

the tests are there

only cmake is unable to run them, they can be run separately:

user@Macbook-MacBook-Air-4 build % ./bin/zero_test 
Running main() from /Users/user/Projects/mujoco_mpc/build/_deps/googletest-src/googletest/src/gtest_main.cc

Try:

cd build/mjpc/test
ctest --output-on-failure .

This is fixed in #233.
