Can :static-file be used for files part of unit tests? Such as unit
tests
for log-parsers.
My understanding is that :static-file components are used to specify
any
non-lisp file dependencies of the system. The lisp parts of the unit
tests should use :file declarations.
I have used them for things like, css, graphics, test fixtures,
templates etc, pretty much any file that I know the system depends on,
that aren't common lisp files.
That is correct. I would expect test definitions, and even fixture code,
would go in normal `:file` components (but only for a test system, not
for the system under test). Test *data*, though (e.g., XML documents
for XMLS) would be static files.
