no precompile sentence from Pkg.test()

[aminya]

When I run Pkg.test("somepackage") it doesn't give me any precompile sentence for that somepackage.

This makes it hard to use runtest.jl for generating a precompile file (a file that is already available for most of the packages).

We can include runtests.jl but because some packages have test dependencies it is hard to add those dependencies to the current environment

You understand that Pkg.test("somepackage") starts a completely different Julia process, right? So your settings by @snoopi don't carry over.

You should be able to circumvent this by starting Julia with julia --project and use include("runtests.jl").

Ahh, I did not know that. I tried to workaround this by adding test dependencies myself.
I wrote a function myself that parses a toml and adds the deps. However, I think this feature should be in the Pkg Instead
