Question: Vendor'ed test suite as git submodule?

[jgarber623]

Now that this gem's test suite is back in sync with microformats/tests, would it be possible to directly include the code in that repo into this project via a git submodule or some mechanism other than copy/paste?

Git submodules aren't without their overhead, but we could mitigate potential problems by updating some documentation with details on how to handle initial project check out, updating the test suite version, etc.

I've been debating this on https://github.com/dissolve/mf2-tester as well. One option is to use composer (its in the exact right location for it) but I don't really want to force ruby devs to install composer. Its possible to just use composer and then just not put /vendor in .gitignore

I had the same thought about NPM. It's built into the test suite, but is Yet Another Package Manager™ akin to your PHP/Composer example.

Git submodule is the lowest common denominator but it's far from perfect… 🤔
