Hi,
I am having problems to connect live to a simulation through Catalyst. Searching in this forum, I found
> [@Catalyst live visualization](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/catalyst-live-visualization/967/6):
>
> Take a look at the ParaView tests that exercise this functionality: [~/projects/ParaView/build]$ ctest -R CatalystLive Test project /home/danlipsa/projects/ParaView/build Start 1848: pv.CatalystLiveSetBreakpoint 1/4 Test #1848: pv.CatalystLiveSetBreakpoint … Passed 29.40 sec Start 1849: pvcs.CatalystLiveSetBreakpoint 2/4 Test #1849: pvcs.CatalystLiveSetBreakpoint … Passed 29.10 sec Start 1850: pv.CatalystLivePause 3/4 Test #1850: pv.CatalystLivePause … Passed 33.21 sec Start…
and decided to try @danlipsa 's suggestion about running `ctest -N -V -R CatalystLive` from the build directory, but that’s everything I get as a result:
```

ParaView (version 5.7.0) was built with `BUILD_TESTING:BOOL=ON`, so I don’t understand why I cannot see the tests outputs. [CMakeCache.txt](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/short-url/l1WZy5D8WUcmPBEKjtKir3oz3Yf.txt) (294.7 KB) is attached. Could you help me?
Thank you very much,

The build-time variable is not called `BUILD_TESTING` (anymore), but `PARAVIEW_BUILD_TESTING`. Also there is no `CatalystLive` test (anymore).

They were indeed accidentally removed and need to be brought back.
