#error {
 :cause   Error in ./deps.edn: {:aliases {:test {:extra-paths ["missing required key"]}}}

I understand the error, indeed the test alias does not have extra-paths. But why does it need to?

Would it be okay for you to have it like this {:aliases {:test {:extra-paths [] .... ?

Sure, but is there a reason it's required?

It was just a decision made at some point, that you need to specify your test paths (which could be empty).

I think the reasoning was to make it more explicit.

Requiring it makes you think about why you don't have any tests 🙂

Well, in our case the whole test alias is just to add dependency to kaocha, which has the test paths in a separate config
