How do I run tests without connecting to the internet?

[Trevoke]

This confuses me to no end:

% eask test buttercup
Adding required archives (melpa)... done ✓
Refresh archives information... done ✓
  - Skipping buttercup (20240904.2311)... already installed ✗
Running 3 specs.

Why on earth is it refreshing the archives information? How can I make it not do that?

Eask needs to download buttercup before use. Without refreshing archive information (is equivalent to the function (package-refresh-contents)), Emacs doesn't know what packages and versions are available to download. 🤔

I understand this but it's happening every time I run eask run test. Surely it's able to check locally whether the package is installed?

For clarification, my use case is: I'd like to do TDD :)

[Trevoke]

Ok.
I don't exactly understand what's happening but:

1. I only have gnu as a dependency
2. when I added melpa, it stopped doing the archive refresh
3. I think this only happens if my package depends on a recipe
4. I don't know what that means and how to stop it

So for now I can do TDD by just adding melpa as a source in the Eask file but that seems wrong :)

I've opened a PR for this, see emacs-eask/cli#284.

2. when I added melpa, it stopped doing the archive refresh

It's probably refreshed before the command tasks. 🤔

3. I think this only happens if my package depends on a recipe

Depends on a recipe requires package-build to be installed, so it requires the melpa source.

Can you try the latest version and see if that works? Thanks!
