Hi Vingesh,
I will fix this bug in CTest for the next release. That said, for now,
could you just make sure to run CTest in the directory where your tests
are? What I mean is something like this. If your BuildDirectory is
pointing to /foo/bar, then make sure you first do:
cd /foo/bar
before you run CTest.
