root build file must be able to build/test sub-projects. i think @slimsag mentioned this somewhere.

build.zig // zig build test
├── glfw/build.zig
├── freetype/build.zig
├── sysaudio/build.zig
├── esc/build.zig
├── gpu/build.zig
└── sysjs/build.zig

possible ways:

making tests a seperate step in /build.zig and calling sub-projects build function for only build step (preferred)
running zig build [test] in sub-directories

Agreed.

making tests a seperate step in /build.zig and calling sub-projects build function for only build step (preferred)

I think this is the right way.

Ideally I think that in the end, as a developer you can run the following to test each part of Mach:

zig build test run all tests for every project
zig build test-mach run tests for just src/ mach code.
cd subproject/ && zig build test run tests for just a subproject

Agreed. > making tests a seperate step in /build.zig and calling sub-projects build function for only build step (preferred) I think this is the right way. Ideally I think that in the end, as a developer you can run the following to test each part of Mach: 1. `zig build test` run *all* tests for every project 2. `zig build test-mach` run tests for just `src/` mach code. 3. `cd subproject/ && zig build test` run tests for just a subproject
