Excellent - can we move that Trello card to "In Planning"? ;)
I'm thinking that testing repositories of type tool_dependency_definition would cover this request ...
Yes, that's the main missing piece.
... since any repositories that have bot tools and a tool_dependencies.xml file are already tested.
Here the tool_dependencies.xml file isn't tested explicitly, only indirectly via wrapper tests which use the dependency.
Will this be an appropriate approach to this, or am I missing something here?
I would prefer improved testing/reporting from the tool_dependencies.xml actions be universal for any Tool Shed repository containing a tool_dependencies.xml file -- not just the restricted tool_dependency_definition type which only contain this file. I gave an example on the Trello Card. Thanks, Peter
