> Hey guys,
I waited a few days to see if anything else would add to this conversation but it seems to have run dry. I will go ahead and close this ticket as I seem to understand where you guys are approaching this project from.

Thanks for the awesome project, I use it everyday and was successfully able to set up a Test Driven Environment using this platform.

To share some knowledge, Ultimately the decision really is to separate production code from tests. This is one of the "accepted pr

If you browse through Rubberduck's source code, you see that indeed we do have all the tests in the
