Seems like this can be fixed by upgrading the catch version to >v2.13.5: catchorg/Catch2#2421

You can also resolve the issue by adding following line in the main cmake file

if(RC_ENABLE_TESTS)
    enable_testing()

    add_compile_definitions(-DCATCH_CONFIG_NO_POSIX_SIGNALS)    <======= this line

    add_subdirectory(test)
endif()
