Is it ok to subvert raco test by including (module test racket/base) in my code?https://github.com/nixin72/from-template/blob/master/main.rkt

I should have a test but I can’t think of one right now.

Yes, (module test racket/base) seems like the right choice.

ta. I need to make a test that ensures it doesn’t overwrite any user data, but that can wait. :slightly_smiling_face:

it’s documented in section 13.2 of https://docs.racket-lang.org/raco/test.html?q=raco%20test but it’s hard to find since it’s only a short phrase in the first paragraph. I’ve used the same approach to prevent raco test from running a module.

Also it looks like it’s possible to add to test-omit-paths in an info.rkt file in your collection package if that option works better for you.

moving code you don’t want to run into a main submodule would be preferable to an empty test submodule IMO, assuming it makes sense for your use case

(case where it makes sense: a script / launcher program)

(case where it doesn’t: trying to avoid loading GUI libraries)
