About the use of the test suite when developing a package

I did not find a better workflow than doing the following: after loading Revise.jl, start Julia in the MyPkg base directory:

] activate .
using MyPkg
] activate test
include("test/runtests.jl")

That seems sketchy. I’m not sure what behavior Julia guarantees if you load a package in one environment and then switch to another environment. What you might want to do instead (in the root folder of the project, and assuming a test/Project.toml file):

] activate test
] dev .
include("test/runtests.jl")
