Recommended layout for testing integration of pallets

Question

I've been working on a pallet in isolation for a few months. I did testing by mocking a runtime and mocking the related pallets that are expected by it. Basically, so far I have created fake pallets in a mock directory and used those in place of the ones that my pallet expects to be loosely coupled with. Here's my directory structure (roughly)

frame/my-pallet/
├── Cargo.toml
└── src
    ├── benchmarking.rs
    ├── lib.rs
    ├── mock
    │   ├── accounts.rs
    │   ├── assets.rs
    │   ├── mod.rs
    │   ├── pallet1.rs
    │   ├── pallet2.rs
    │   └── runtime.rs
    ├── tests
    │   ├── mod.rs
    │   ├── extrinsic1.rs
    │   ├── extrinsic2.rs
    │   └── extrinsic3.rs
    ├── helpers.rs
    └── weights.rs

I now wanna do tests with a real implementation of pallet1, but I wanna keep the test cases with the mocked version. Is there a 'canonical' way of doing that? I'm considering just adding a integrations subdirectory under src and having new mock.rs and tests.rs files there.

Answer 1

Any pallet is just a Rust crate. Adding the "real" pallet1 as a dependency to Cargo.toml will make it available to be imported anywhere in your project.
