jbuilder runtest -p mysubpkg tries to run all tests

[mjambon]

Not sure if this may be related to #568
I'm using jbuilder 1.0+beta20.

We're having this problem right now in the atd repo, which includes 4 opam packages (atd, atdgen-runtime, atdgen, atdj):

$ git clone https://github.com/mjambon/atd.git
$ cd atd
$ opam remove atd atdgen-runtime atdgen   # opam packages provided by this git repo
$ jbuilder build -p atd
$ jbuilder runtest -p atd
Error: Program atdgen not found in the tree or in PATH (context: default)
...

What happens is that the build command with -p atd builds only the atd package, but the runtest command apparently ignores the -p atd option and tries to run the tests for all packages; this fails because we built only the atd package.

Workaround:

$ (cd atd && jbuilder runtest)

but I don't know how to specify this in an opam file:

build-test: [
  [???]
]

I think the issue is that we don't have (package <name>) fields on our alias stanzas.

IIUC the solution is to add a few (package <name>) fields in the runtest aliases of atd. Should we close this issue then?

Yup. I will make fix atd.
