In order to prevent unnecessary test code duplication it makes sense to use a test library which implements frequently repeated actions. Beakerlib Libraries allow to create and share modules, encapsulating common complex tasks such as configuring and starting a particular daemon in a single function. Also, the library takes care of installing all the necessary dependencies.
The default location for libraries is the beakerlib
project. Libraries stored there can be easily referenced using
the library(component/name) notation in the require
attribute. It is recommended to create a separate git repository
for each library unless there are multiple libraries which are
very closely related. Note that you will be able to set up
collaborators for your library repository.
In order to create a git repository for a new library file a new issue in this project and specify the desired name.
As every change in the library can affect many tests which depend on it, it is strongly recommended to always use pull requests when developing new features and fixing bugs and require at least one review from collaborators before merging the code to production.
