To add a dependency ony for testing, I followed the instructions here: https://docs.julialang.org/en/v1/stdlib/Pkg/#Test-specific-dependencies-1 .
But this involves editing Project.toml
directly. Can this be done through the REPL (like pkg> add ...
does for a proper dependency)?

AFAIK you still need to edit the Project.toml
.
A convenient way to do this is to pkg> add TheDependency
, then open the editor and just move the line and to [extras]
and add it to the relevant line in [targets]
.

This is what I am doing now. Thanks. I see you already opened an issue to request this:
Hello,
How should we add a test-only package dependency from the REPL, without copy-pasting from the Project.toml?
