+This directory (test/data) contains fake test suites used for the |
+expect_tests test suite. They are used by the tests present in test/, and by |
+themselves do not test anything (e.g. there are self.assertTrue(True) in |
+many places) |
+ |
+Thus, the structure here is highly connected with the tests present in test/. |
+Adding or removing a test method in test/data is likely to break a test in |
+test/. |
+ |
+Example: test/pipeline.py:TestListingTest.test_get_test_gens_package lists the |
+tests present in test/data/package1, with various options. The expected output |
+is written in test/pipeline_test.py itself, and should match the actual |
+structure in test/data. |

+Additional information can be found in other READMEs. |
