 In case you have downloaded the library rather than checked out the code via Git, test `cmake_fetch_content_configure` will fail. Please execute `ctest -LE git_required` to skip these tests. See [issue #2189](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/2189) for more information.

See [issue #2324](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/2324) for more information. Furthermore, assertions must be switched off to ensure reproducible builds (see [discussion 4494](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/discussions/4494)).
 
 Note you need to call `cmake -LE "not_reproducible|git_required"` to exclude both labels. See [issue #2596](https://github.com/nlohmann/json/issues/2596) for more information.
