nimforum mirror - How to have the generated executables in a bin directory out of the way when using testament

I normally have setup the Nim compiler to save executables into a bin directory (switch("outdir", "bin") in config.nims).

However when running my tests via testament this doesn't work: I get


FAIL: test_my_stuff.nim C
Test "test_my_stuff.nim" in category "pattern"
Failure: reExeNotFound

because testament seem to expect the compiler output in the project root. How can I tell testament to run the executable from the outdir location?

As far as I know, that's currently impossible. PRs welcome.

testament --outdir:dir

Good to know. Thanks.
