Description Benjamin Esquivel 2016-06-13 21:33:45 UTC 
The purpose of this bug is to create tests for the import of tests from other layers. This feature seems to be undocumented in the mega-manual.

The test that has to be created to verify this functionality should do the following things:

  bitbake add-layer <new-layer-with-self-tests>`
  list the newly added test via oe-selftest -l
  execute the newly added test via oe-selftest -r <testname>
Comment 1 Mariano Lopez 2016-07-12 21:12:53 UTC 
A test within meta-selftest can be used for such purpose and it will remove the need to add a new layer, because meta-selftest is needed in order to run oe-selftest.

Needed to refactor the test because calling oe-selftest within selftest broke selftest

Mariano did you test this change at the autobuilder?
Comment 6 Mariano Lopez 2016-07-21 19:08:12 UTC 
I haven't tested it yet. Let me do the test.
