test-requirements.txt and depending on unreleased modules
Hello,
Doing work in in repo A that depends on work in a pull request or branch of repo B.
Trying to get a successful test build for the repo A PR.
It looks like test-requirements.txt is the way, but I haven't been successful to get the syntax right.
Currently there are "Unreleased dependencies" build errors that I don't understand (of course they are unreleased!).
I realize the contributing documentation is out of date: it still mentions oca_dependencies.txt, that I believe is ineffective today, and I couldn0t find helpful guidance there regarding test-dependencies.txt.
I appreciate the help.
Thank you
Daniel
PS: to make a module pip-installable all it needs is to contain the pyproject.toml file, correct?

Re: test-requirements.txt and depending on unreleased modules
Thank you Pedro and Stéphane.
Indeed it seems I got it working, as the actual Test build is green, and I see why the unreleased dependencies should be red.
oca_dependencies is mentioned here:

Thanks

Hello Daniel,
The syntax is described in this wiki page: https://github.com/OCA/maintainer-tools/wiki/Use-temporary-reference(s)-to-another-pull-request(s)
There is indeed a special CI check that fails when there are unreleased dependencies, to prevent accidentally merging a PR while some if its dependencies are not yet merged.
oca_dependencies is indeed not used at all by oca-ci. Where is that still mentioned?

Yes, that is correct. Although the older method with the setup.py in a side directory is still supported and the one we use by default until 16.0.
Best regards,

Check https://github.com/OCA/maintainer-tools/wiki/Use-temporary-reference%28s%29-to-another-pull-request%28s%29. It's all there. And yes, it should fail.Regards.
