[Moose-dev] Re: [Metacello] Transitive closure on groups

Simon, Another alternative would be to import the tests that you're interested in into ConfigurationOfMoose: spec project: 'MooseAlgos Tests' copyFrom: 'MooseAlgos for Moose' with: [ spec loads: 'Tests' ]. This is similar to what you are doing with option two, with the twist that you only need ConfigurationOfMoose loaded to be able to access tests...
