We need some more information to help diagnose this. Can you share your settings? Are you using CMake Presets? Is this a public project that we can clone? I'm aware of opencv, but not opencv_test.

@SuryaPrakash0201 It looks like it's hitting errors not being able to find your tools. Due to the amount of time this has been open with no activity, I'll close this discussion.

However, please create an issue if you're still having trouble and we'd be happy to investigate. Thanks!
