Can Infiltrator work with tests?

[luc-j-bourhis]

Here is what I tried

julia> using Infiltrator
julia> using MyPackage.MyModule
(add Main.@infiltrate in a function of that module)
julia> import Pkg; Pkg.test()

This fails:

ERROR: LoadError: UndefVarError: `@infiltrate` not defined in `Main`

This is clearly outside the use case described in the documentation but it would be nice if there was a trick to make that work!

You can work around that issue by adding Infiltrator to your test environment and add a using Infiltrator statement to your tests. Even then it's unlikely to work properly though, because IIRC stdin isn't properly piped through the outer process.

I'd recommend extracting your test into a standalone script or just manually including runtests.jl (potentially in a separately prepared environment to ensure all dependencies are available).
