Fetching the catch2 conan package for windows fails

[jkotan]

I the tests of #501 i.e. https://jenkins.esss.dk/dm/blue/organizations/jenkins/ess-dmsc%2Fh5cpp/detail/pr_501/34/pipeline/34
we get

catch2/2.13.7: Not found in local cache, looking in remotes...
catch2/2.13.7: Trying with 'bincrafters'...
WARN: hdf5/1.10.5-dm2@ess-dmsc/stable: requirement zlib/1.2.11@conan/stable overridden by your conanfile to zlib/1.2.11

1. Make sure the remote is reachable or,
2. Disable it by using conan remote disable,
Then try again.
CMake Error at cmake/conan.cmake:522 (message):
  Conan install failed='1'
Call Stack (most recent call first):

It looks like fetching conan catch2 packages fails for windows. One solution would be to add it to
https://artifactoryconan.esss.dk/artifactory/webapp or/and local cache

Try updating the conan version on CI. I have observed similar errors when using an outdated conan version (current version is 1.43.1)

Typically on CI I'll run pip install conan --upgrade as an initial step to ensure I'm always using the latest version.

Indeed, it looks like https://issueexplorer.com/issue/conan-io/conan/9819

@zjttoefs , @amues or @SkyToGround is it possible to upgrade conan on Windows test node?

[SkyToGround]

@jkotan It is possible but our expert on the matter (@amues) is away on vacation and I would prefer to have him do it as would be much more work for anyone else to do it.

@SkyToGround and @amues, sure. Thanks.

Hi @amues and @SkyToGround,

it looks like windows node does not work anymore

Queued   ‘dmbuild04.dm.esss.dk’ is offline

Is it related with fixing the issue?

[amues]

Hi @jkotan,
I ran into a Jenkins connection issue in that build node after upgrading Conan (I suspect the issue is not related to the upgrade) and I'm currently looking into this.

Due to #570 we can close the issue
