Do you have a minimal reproducible example for that behaviour?


e.g. given:

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.0)

     project(Foo NONE)

     file(WRITE foo/CMakeLists.txt "add_executable()")

     add_subdirectory(foo)


I get:

     CMake Error at foo/CMakeLists.txt:1 (add_executable):
       add_executable called with incorrect number of arguments


Even with the oldest CMake version currently available to me (2.8.0).
