I believe the tests in bmcweb have degraded and stopped working, so they 
were disabled. I haven't run them myself, so I'm not sure how bad they 
degraded. If you want to try to run them locally you need to pass
-DBMCWEB_BUILD_UT=1 when you run the cmake command.

openbmc-build-scripts is fine the way it is, if the unit tests are fixed 
then we can simply change if (BMCWEB_BUILD_UT) into if (NOT 
YOCTO_DEPENDENCIES) and the build scripts know how to take over.

FWIW Entity-manager has an example of running tests in CMake that works 
with openbmc-build-scripts
