<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>In my module <a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/test_helpers">Test Helpers</a> I have a submodule, created specifically for tests, so I put it into the path like <code>tests/modules/my_test_submodule/tests/src/Nightwatch/Tests/myTest.js</code>.</p>
<p>This location hides the module from installing on the non-test environments, preventing accidentally enabling them in production.</p>
<p>But the Drupal CI doesn't detect this test, because we have these glob patterns in the pipeline: <a href="https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gitlab_templates/-/blob/1.5.5/includes/include.drupalci.main.yml?ref_type=tags#L211">https://git.drupalcode.org/project/gitlab_templates/-/blob/1.5.5/includes/include.drupalci.main.yml?ref_type=tags#L211</a></p>
<pre>.nightwatch-tests-exist-rule: &nightwatch-tests-exist-rule<br> - exists:<br> - tests/src/Nightwatch/**/*.js<br> - modules/*/tests/src/Nightwatch/**/*.js<br> when: on_success</pre><h4 id="summary-steps-reproduce">Steps to reproduce</h4>
<p>1. Create a test submodule in your custom module, and put it into the test modules directory like <code>tests/modules/my_test_submodule</code>.<br>
2. Create a Nightwatch test in this submodule, put it into the path like <code>tests/modules/my_test_submodule/tests/src/Nightwatch/Tests/myTest.js</code><br>
3. Run the pipeline and see that the Nightwatch tests are not found in the module.<br>
4. Move the module to the non-test submodules location like <code>modules/my_test_submodule</code>.<br>
5. See that the pipeline starts to work well.</p>
<h3 id="summary-proposed-resolution">Proposed resolution</h3>
<p>The solution for this problem is to add the <code>tests/modules</code> path to the "nightwatch-tests-exist-rule", like this:</p>
<pre>.nightwatch-tests-exist-rule: &nightwatch-tests-exist-rule<br> - exists:<br> - tests/src/Nightwatch/**/*.js<br> - modules/*/tests/src/Nightwatch/**/*.js<br> - tests/modules/*/tests/src/Nightwatch/**/*.js<br> when: on_success</pre><p>And a workaround to fix this in custom modules, until the issue is resolved, is to add to the <code>.gitlab-ci.yml</code> file this block:</p>
<pre># A workaround for the issue https://www.drupal.org/project/gitlab_templates/issues/3469616 start.<br>.opt-in-current-rule: &opt-in-current-rule<br> if: '$OPT_IN_TEST_CURRENT != "1"'<br> when: never<br><br>.skip-nightwatch-rule: &skip-nightwatch-rule<br> if: '$SKIP_NIGHTWATCH == "1"'<br> when: never<br><br>.nightwatch-tests-exist-rule: &nightwatch-tests-exist-rule<br> - exists:<br> - tests/src/Nightwatch/**/*.js<br> - modules/*/tests/src/Nightwatch/**/*.js<br> # A fix for the issue https://www.drupal.org/project/gitlab_templates/issues/3469616.<br> - tests/modules/*/tests/src/Nightwatch/**/*.js<br> when: on_success<br><br>.nightwatch-base:<br> rules:<br> - *opt-in-current-rule<br> - *skip-nightwatch-rule<br> - *nightwatch-tests-exist-rule<br># A workaround for the issue https://www.drupal.org/project/gitlab_templates/issues/3469616 end.</pre><h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3>
