Yes. See [vscode-cmake-tools issue 4336](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-cmake-tools/issues/4336), discourse topic [[4.0.0 rc2] - "There was an error running ctest to determine available test executables"](https://discourse.cmake.org/t/13687), [CMake Issue 26743](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/issues/26743), and [CMake MR 10432](https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/-/merge_requests/10432).
