Yes absolutely! :) That was also my intention a while ago, see#1024 that was never finished (this was pre-pytest even).

Just need to make sure thattests/unit is packaged along with it, as that's how some package maintainers test it (e.g. for rpm/deb distros), but probably nottests/functional as that has a lot more system dependencies.

However there's some quirks with pytest that might make asrc/gitlab layout a good idea, but I see now there's also an import fix for that, seehttps://docs.pytest.org/en/6.2.x/goodpractices.html?highlight=directory#choosing-a-test-layout-import-rules

Thetools/ directory is now namedtests/ and the functional tests are now there. [1]

Next step (at some point) will be to move thegitlab/tests/ directory totests/unit/
