I have no clue why google test still recommends fetchcontent. Google doesn't really use CMake internally. People should use the gtest supplied with their OS unless they have a good reason not to.

Okay, but then we should probably update the README and to say that users should first install gtest.

Alternatively, we could add gtest as a build dependency to the package.xml, assuming dependencies are managed through rosdep.

They are not handled via package.xml. That is a recent addition (#2337) and none of our CI currently uses it yet.

Probably because we don't install gtest in our CI machines

This is correct. We actually vendor a specific gtest version in each of our packages.

Can you fix the conflict on examples/standalone/gtest_setup/CMakeLists.txt?

cd build
ctest
```

🧑‍🌾 I think CI is complaining on this trailing newline, can you remove it?

Looks like gtest can't be found in CI. Should I be making changes to the local CI, or is this managed elsewhere?

I think it's best to revert your changes. I don't think we're prepared to change our CI for this.
