With the above problem solved, the new question is does this format support openfoam6?

May I ask how you solved the problem above?

It is supporting OpenFOAM 5.x to version 8.

Regarding this issue: You probably did not clone the git submodules. I had changed from the single header Catch2 file to the new Catch2 v3 release which is an own library. This is included as a git submodule.

After cloning execute:

git submodule init
git submodule update

Thanks, it worked!
