[Bug]: fatal error: gtest/gtest.h: No such file or directory

[jonben3215]

Describe the issue

I am using MSYS2 to run C++ and I tried every single thing. I looked up documentation for on MSYS2 to install gtest and all he toolchain and everything is present how ever VS and VSC both give the same error: fatal error: gtest/gtest.h: No such file or directory. Here is my code:

`// test.cpp
#include <gtest/gtest.h>

// A simple test case
TEST(SampleTest, AssertionTrue) {
EXPECT_TRUE(true);
}
`

I at this point I have no clue what is happening I tried everything I could look up to resolve this issue.

Seems this is not a bug bur @jonben3215 perhaps you forget to add line in cmake like this find_library(GTest gtest) for did you forget to enable C++17 for your project. Could you pass output from command line when you try to configure your project or build?

[jonben3215]

How do I access CMake so that I need to add the find_library(GTest gtest)? I failed to mention that I am running my code using g++ -std=c++<version> <.cpp> -o <exe name>. I am currently not running any cmake until later down my project. In addition I have also made sure that all gtest includes and libs are all present in my MSYS2 folders where MinGW64 is, but it seems to fail.

However, when I paste my entire location of the gtest.h I get a different error saying another .h file is missing or can't be found.
