You shouldn't need to bundle test code into your production code. 1. Deps are compiled in prod but in_umbrella deps are compiled in the same environment as the current project. You can achieve this by specifying the env option to the dependency, such as "env: Mix.env()", and it works for any dependency
2. You can also specify a dependency as only: :test > So I'm not sure why it effectively said "this thing I'm holding doesn't exist." That's now what it says. It says that it must be either relative from the current dir or absolute to anywhere. :) On Thu, Mar 16, 2023 at 9:03 PM Brandon Gillespie <bran...@cold.org> wrote: > Need: > > - I want to provide factories using ex_machina in my library projects > that come into other projects as deps > - I want to use ex_machina, (so please, don't recommend not using it, > I've heard that many times) > - I don't want ex_machina to appear as a dependency to production > - I want to do this with umbrella apps > > I've bumped into this several times where I'd like to have a separate > section of library/code available in a dep, which is only in-scope for > :test builds, not :prod. > > But deps are always compiled in :prod scope, so it doesn't matter what > else you do. > > The general consensus from what I've found and observed in other libs is > to just put test modules into the production code tree.
