Sorry, I mixed up your nightly build and the experimental build you linked.

Thanks.

Please add to your dashboard scripts a line like:

 set(ENV{PATH} ...)

to set a path without python in it for running this dashboard.
That will avoid the problem, which is a separate discussion to
address.  (The test is covering that the requested major version
is preferred if executables called "python2" and "python3" are
both in the path, but if just "python" is available then it is
used.)

I don't see that in:

 https://open.cdash.org/buildSummary.php?buildid=3701966

That may be due to the lack of a fresh build tree:

 #CTEST_EMPTY_BINARY_DIRECTORY(${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})

I don't think CDash has been configured to generate those for
CMake properly.  Once you have the nightly dashboard submission
running cleanly then we can look at merging your generator for
testing in 'next' to have it covered there.
