CMake Tools 1.24 includes several reliability fixes and productivity improvements. You can run tests from the editor, save preset-backed cache edits as user overrides, and keep source-file lists up to date. See the CMake Tools release page and full changelog for details.

Thank you to the community contributors whose work is included in these updates:

Discovered CTest tests with resolved source locations now have Run and Debug CodeLens actions in the editor. These complement the existing Run and Debug actions and source navigation in the Project Outline. Select Run above a test to build and execute it without switching to the Testing view.
