When :attr:`~reframe.core.pipeline.RegressionTest.build_system` is set to ``'Spack'``, ReFrame will leverage Spack environments in order to build the test code.
By default, ReFrame will create a new Spack environment in the test's stage directory and add the requested :attr:`~reframe.core.buildsystems.Spack.specs` to it.

.. note::
Optional spec attributes, such as ``target`` and ``os``, should be specified in :attr:`~reframe.core.buildsystems.Spack.specs` and not as install options in :attr:`~reframe.core.buildsystems.Spack.install_opts`.

Users may also specify an existing Spack environment by setting the :attr:`~reframe.core.buildsystems.Spack.environment` attribute.
In this case, ReFrame treats the environment as a *test resource* so it expects to find it under the test's :attr:`~reframe.core.pipeline.RegressionTest.sourcesdir`, which defaults to ``'src'``.
