In the past, I put my test dependencies in the main Project.toml file in the [extras] section.
Recently, I started to use sub-projects and a separate Project.toml file in the test folder.
But now the packages are pre-compiled much more often:
once when running ]test
and again when running Pkg.activate("test")
I use the second command when I want to execute only one of the files in the test folder.
Questions:
Is this a bug?
If not, is there a way to avoid the double precompilation without reverting to the old way of defining the test dependencies?

Do you mean they’re precompiled every time or just the first time activation or test? Are you using a workspace to merge the subprojects’ manifests into the parent project’s?
The first time, and every time after updating or adding or removing any package.
And yes, I use a workspace. In the main Project.toml I have:
[workspace]
projects = ["examples", "test"]
And in the Project.toml of the test folder I have:
[deps]
RamAirKite = "7ebed07a-3d9a-4117-97d2-0a397f5b89df"
[sources]
RamAirKite = {path = ".."}
where RamAirKite is the name of the main Package/ Project.

Then I’m more confident that something has gone wrong. It’s not unusual to precompile a first time, which could be running a test after updating dependencies or source, but a manifest and the cached package images should have prevented further recompilation, including a mere activate. (EDIT: I totally misread the last response as the opposite to my prior question, disregard this comment.) Caching does have a limit (default to 10 unique instances per package), but I have no way of knowing if you’re hitting that somewhere. The workspace actually reduces that risk within a main project by resolving 10+ subprojects together with it; activate would only change the using/import-able names while referencing the same manifest of exact versions. When you recompile, is there a consistent set of recompiled packages and versions?
Try with JULIA_DEBUG=loading and try to figure out why no caches are usable.

Well, this was my old workflow with the test dependencies in the main Project.toml file. Or do you suggest that TestEnv also works if the test dependencies are in a separate Project.toml file?
To test that, I need a virtual machine where I can delete the .julia folder between the tests. I might have time to do that at the weekend.
Or do you suggest that TestEnv also works if the test dependencies are in a separate Project.toml file?
Yes, TestEnv.jl also works for test dependencies in test/Project.toml. From the README.md of TestEnv.jl:
These can be either defined in the [extras] section in the package’s Project.toml or in a separate test/Project.toml.
Tests are run with --check-bounds=yes, that invalidates the cache, so yes, that’s normal, unless you either run the tests with --check-bounds=auto, or start julia with --check-bounds=yes.
giordano:
Tests are run with --check-bounds=yes, that invalidates the cache, so yes, that’s normal, unless you either run the tests with --check-bounds=auto, or start julia with --check-bounds=yes.
So if I use TestEnv and put:
using TestEnv; TestEnv.activate()
at the beginning of my test-xxx.jl files, then I could include them with:
include("test/test-xxx.jl")
and the same cache would be used as was instantiated when doing “]test” before?
This would then be my preferred solution to avoid duplicate precompilation. Only disadvantage: I need the TestEnv package, which is usually broken for Julia versions that have not been released yet. Or I do a check if the test is running on CI and then skip the using TestEnv line.
Sorry, still the same problem. If I do:
using TestEnv; TestEnv.activate()
using Pkg; Pkg.instantiate(); Pkg.resolve(); Pkg.precompile()
restart Julia, and then do
]test
all packages get precompiled again.
Why?
My goal:
find a way to precompile the test environment such that running the tests does not trigger recompilation
find a way to run one of the test scripts after running all of the tests without triggering recompilation

ufechner7:
still the same problem.
TestEnv doesn’t magically change the check bounds setting (it can’t). What’s not clear of what I said above
?
I tried to start julia with --check-bounds=yes, but it did not help.]test is doing some undocumented magic.
To repeat my goals:
find a way to precompile the test environment such that running the tests does not trigger recompilation
find a way to run one of the test scripts after running all of the tests without triggering recompilation
Any idea how to achieve these goals?
I mean, all these re-compilations of Julia packages are really a pain. We need to reduce that to the required minimum.
An easier option is to just point JULIA_DEPOT_PATH to an empty directory.
Have you? You didn’t show it.
What Pkg.test runs to precompile the environment is literally shown in your own message above. The flag which typically invalidates the cache is --check-bounds, as I’ve been trying to say.
Yes: what I said above. Just to demonstrate that this works, this is precisely what we do in Breeze.jl CI:
and then the tests are run with the same check bounds configuration:
julia --project --color=yes --check-bounds=${{ matrix.check-bounds }} -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.test(; coverage=true, julia_args=["--check-bounds=${{ matrix.check-bounds }}", "--compiled-modules=yes", "--depwarn=yes", "-O0"], test_args=`${{ env.runtest_test_args }}`, force_latest_compatible_version=false, allow_reresolve=true)'
If this setup didn’t do what I’ve been trying to say, we’d spend all the time re-precompiling packages all over again.
If you have precompilation still happening then you have a different problem, and the JULIA_DEBUG=loading suggested above is the way to investigate the issue.
You may be happy to hear that Julia v1.13 will run the tests with the same check bounds settings as the host Julia session (by default: auto).
