Testing a package in a clean environment

[Dave Hirschfeld]

A package TEST_PACKAGE can be installed into a clean environment easily enough with

`conda create -n tmp_test_env TEST_PACKAGE`

but AFAICT that doesn't install the test dependencies which are specified in the `test/requires` section of the meta.yaml.

Is there any way to install a package and its test dependencies such that you can then run the tests in the clean env?

Thanks,

Dave

Only using the conda recipe in combination with conda-build.  Once the package is created, only the runtime dependencies are listed in the package metadata.

That would be a very useful feature for us as our tests are run independent of the conda build.

I think it would be generally useful to decouple testing from the build so I've opened a feature request issue for it
