in CMakePresets.json, if one adds an include that references a file that can’t be found, the error message is simple “File not found”.
Please list the name of the missing file.
cmake --list-presets
CMake Error: Could not read presets from /workspaces/nf-interpreter: File not found

This seems like a straightforward issue that should be fixed. Can you please [file one](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues)?
