This offers very few advantages now, but helps support the following in
the future:
- Reuse test support code across multiple projects (useful for
multi-loader).
- Allow using test fixture code in testMod. We've got a version of our
gametest which use Kotlin instead of Lua for asserting computer
behaviour.
We can't use java-test-fixtures here for Forge reasons, so have to roll
our own version. Alas.
- Add an ILuaMachine implementation which runs Kotlin coroutines
instead. We can use this for testing asynchronous APIs. This also
replaces the FakeComputerManager.
- Move most things in the .support module to .test.core. We need to use
a separate package in order to cope with Java 9 modules (again,
thanks Forge).
Look, I don't enjoy having 600 LOC long build.gradle files, it's just
very easy to do! This at least moves some of the complexity elsewhere,
so the build script is a little more declarative.
It's more verbose as the default license plugin doesn't support multiple
license headers. However, it also gives us some other goodies (namely
formatting Kotlin and removing unused imports), so worth doing.
