Lucas Bajolet	56400f27cb	packer_test: add gob/pb test suite ... With the draft to support both gob and protobuf as serialisation formats for Packer, along with the SDK changes that propel them, we add a series of tests that make sure the logic that picks which protocol is solid and functional. These tests rely on building several versions of the tester plugin, with and without protobuf support, to then install them in the tests as needed to test the logic of Packer using packer build with them, and templates that require multiple plugins.	1 year ago
Lucas Bajolet	9e4452329f	packer_test: make packer test suite modular ... Having only one test suite for the whole of Packer makes it harder to segregate between test types, and makes for a longer runtime as no tests run in parallel by default. This commit splits the packer_test suite into several components in order to make extension easier. First we have `lib`: this package embeds the core for running Packer test suites. This ships facilities to build your own test suite for Packer core, and exposes convenience methods and structures for building plugins, packer core, and use it to run a test suite in a temporary directory. Then we have two separate test suites: one for plugins, and one for core itself, the latter of which does not depend on plugins being compiled at all. This sets the stage for more specialised test suites in the future, each of which can run in parallel on different parts of the code.	2 years ago
