    Could you try the latest release?

    Ah, "20" means the number of tests. I thought Apache Arrow 20.0.0.

    It's strange that ctest runs RE2 tests.

    Could you try git bisect to detect the exact commit for this problem?

    Thanks @kou for your help! It looks the Re2 tests involved by commit f8ae141, the generated arrow\cpp\build_amd64\CTestTestfile.cmake contains _deps/re2-build folder starts from this commit.

    Could you share the content of arrow\cpp\build_amd64\_deps\re2-build\CTestTestfile.cmake?
