fails running test in node_modules

[mastilver]

I've got a weird use case where I want to run test files inside node_modules: I want to share test files between several modules

Is it something that you want to handle?

Does specifying a ./node_modules/shared-tests as a test pattern work? (I'm not sure, and I don't have a dev environment on the laptop I'm tying this from.)

Does our macro support help your use case?

What kind of tests are you sharing?

For this package: https://github.com/mastilver/nosqwal/tree/master/packages/nosqwal-memory
inside package.json, I set: ava.files to ["./node_modules/nosqwal-test/test/*.js"]

I believe it's an intended behavior given this test:

ava/test/api.js

Line 595 in 58a2e68

test(prefix + 'test file in node_modules is ignored', function (t) {

I would be happy this #1137 being solved :)
I guess you can close this one

@mastilver ah, that traces back to #226. #736 discusses further changes to those patterns. IMO your setup should work, exotic though it is.

Closing in favor of #736.
