How can I make a parent module's test directory available to a child module's tests? In the child module's deps.edn, I add the coordinate using :local/root "../.." which seems to work great as far as its src is concerned. But when I try to run the child module's tests, using clojure -M:test, I get compilation errors because certain namespaces I need from the parent module aren't found.
If I add :extra-paths ["../../test"] to the child module, then it works. But this is deprecated, so I presume there is a preferred alternative now that I'm unable to figure out.

The only solution I’ve found to this (wanting to require test code from other modules’ test code) is to make a parallel set of test modules. Ie don’t use aliases for testing, make a separate test module that depends on the main module

This not really supported right now. Future idea is to allow specifying aliases in deps which would let you opt in to additional stuff on the classpath like that
