How can I use test-utils.el for eask test ert 'test/*'?

[ROCKTAKEY]

Hi, thanks for such a great package!

I adopt the directory structure like below:

- example.el
- Eask
- test/
  - example-test.el
  - test-utils.el

Note that example-test.el contains (require 'test-utils) and test-utils.el provides test-utils.

When I execute eask test ert test/example-test.el in the project root directory, I got the error:

Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, test-utils

How can I use test-utils.el in test files?

There are many ways to achieve this! :)

Since the Eask-file is an elisp file, you can do:

Option A. Use load or load-file

(load-file "test/test-utils.el")

Option B. Change load-path globally

(add-to-list 'load-path "./test/")

;; then later require it (doesn't have to be in the Eask-file)
(require 'test-utils)

Option C. Use Eask's DSL load-paths

This is essentially the same as Option B..

(load-paths "/test/")

;; then later require it (doesn't have to be in the Eask-file)
(require 'test-utils)

See https://emacs-eask.github.io/DSL/ for more information! :D

A tiny suggestion, you might want to add hook to avoid pollute other command's environment.

(add-hook 'eask-before-test/ert-hook
           (lambda ()
             ;; do stuff before test ert...
             ))

I understood it. Thanks a lot!
