load_all() and test() don't load package dependencies?

Please see issues linked below.

It seems that test() and load_all() and possibly others have recently changed behaviour with regards to resolving imported packages, at least with regards to the 'data.table' package.

Testing of perfectly valid code should not fail like that.

data.table uses some magic to determine if it's needed or not. Clearly the magic is failing due to the special way that load_all() simulates package loading.

I'd recommend filing a minimal reproducible example at pkgbuild, which is where the package loading code now lives. You'll probably need to create a minimal package that illustrates the problem and host it on github.

Sorry, I meant pkgload, not pkgbuild
