Pkg.jl: Feature request: testing and building a non-package project

Created on 15 Jul 2019  路  2Comments  路  Source: JuliaLang/Pkg.jl

The FR here follows from https://github.com/JuliaDynamics/DrWatson.jl/issues/67 (and https://github.com/JuliaDynamics/DrWatson.jl/issues/61 )
It seems that at the moment it is not possible to run pkg> build or pkg> test for a Julia project but only for a Julia package. (the project doesn't have a UUID or a src/PackageName.jl file, but only a Project.toml).

Conceptually I don't see a reason why this shouldn't be possible.

I think it should still allow test deps and yes, also run the local build/deps.jl even if the current project is not a package.

pkg> build already has a meaning, do you suggest that we also run build/deps.jl as a final step? And pkg> test should just be include("test/runtests.jl") or also allow test deps etc?
