testhome

Overview ¶

Package testhome keeps a test binary out of the developer's ~/.jaira.

Production code finds per-user state through os.UserHomeDir (HOME, or USERPROFILE on Windows) and JAIRA_HOME: the default board, the lane catalogue, settings, identity, session state. A test that does not isolate all of them reads whatever the machine running it happens to have — on one machine a default-board.md without a backlog lane failed sixteen tests that pass in CI, where the runner has no ~/.jaira at all.

Isolating it per test is the wrong default: the test that forgets is silently wrong on exactly the machines nobody looks at. So every package whose tests can reach that code calls Run from its TestMain, and a test that wants a home of its own still sets one with t.Setenv.
