looks like `Pkg` in 0.7 had dropped the `Pkg.test()` function. What’s the new preferred way to run the test suite for a package?

Thanks!

Hmm, `Pkg.test` still exists.

Ugh, sorry. Was running `Pkg.test(DataFrames)`, not `Pkg.test("DataFrames")`, which gives a `ERROR: MethodError: no method matching test(::Module)` I misinterpreted.

Thanks!

You can use the new Pkg REPL if you want tab completion.

`]` to enter it and then `test DataF<TAB>` will autocomplete it.

BTW: I like the “package” mode in the REPL a LOT! It makes tasks in the package management easier.

And, did I mention I love how SNAPPY the new Pkg manager is? Just yesterday I had to use the old one and `add Pkg` took multiple minutes. This is progress!

Great to hear. A significant amount of work has gone in to make things feel fast (and actually be fast).
