ctest Install.Setup does not pass when examples are built

I am confused why the altered CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX (=testing/install/install) to install everything under the testing directory is used for the binaries in examples/simulations/gray-scott/CMakeLists.txt but not for the additional files that are installed (=/opt/adios2/debug).

This came up with trying to test locally the plugin operator for #4046

It appears that ctest is being called from root, is it the case?

[pnorbert]

I am calling ctest in the build directory as usual. Should I do it somewhere else?

I think that there is something odd with your env variables. Can you env | grep -i cmake
