I can think of many situations where I have a pre-compiled schema, I've
made changes, but I still want to run using the old one, not wait 2 or 3
minutes for a new one to be created.
Here's my workaround:
1. Temporarily set daffodilTdmlUsesPackageBin := false
2. Temporarily change model attribute of every test case to point at a
tempdir location.
1. (Enhancement: a tdml:testSuite defaultModel attribute where one
could specify the model to be used in one place, not in every test case.
This makes modifying the test suite to point it at a specific
location for
the binary model file a one-line edit, not a giant multi-replacement)
3. sbt packageDaffodilBin
4. copy the binary file to the tmpdir location.
Here is what I don't understand.
When the TDML runner is called, and the model for the test case identifies
a binary file, somehow the schema version and daffodil-version information
are added to it.
Where does the TDML runner get this information from? I would expect that
information is available to SBT, but how can the TDML runner get it?
