%?RESOURCES is not available when dist is installed to inst#/my/custom/repo

[hythm7]

Installing dist A to /my/custom/repo and:

dist A depends on dist B,
dist B uses %?RESOURCES, then
dist A tests might fail if the test file uses dist B, because %?RESOURCES< exisitng-file > of dist B returns Nil.

The error: (where License::SPDX resources returns Nil when loaded from inst#/my/custom/repo)

🔔 Type check failed in binding to parameter '$json'; expected Str but got Nil (Nil)

The below command will fail testing phase because %?RESOURCES of License::SPDX is not available during testing Test::META

pakku install verbose trace add to /my/custom/repo Test::META

Same command work fine if installed to any of Raku's repos home site vendor
pakku install verbose trace add Test::META # works and installed to repo home by default

Offending code is here: the issue disappears when removing $*repo (in this case inst#/my/custom/repo ) from include path and test pass, I think because License::SPDX is loaded from another repo home, site or vendor where it is able to find its %?RESOURCES

Fixed in this commit

Looks like CompUnit::RepositoryRegistry.register-name is causing the issue to %?RESOURCES.

(This issue may exist in Raku's default repos as well home site vendor, I haven't tested them yet).

Will look into CompUnit::RepositoryRegistry.register-name in Rakudo to better understand the issue
and create an issue in Rakudo

When registering a name for CURI via CompUnit::RepositoryRegistry, the same name need to be registered everytime a new process of Raku runs.
