cannot run tests in local source directory due to non-standard directory structure

[avinson]

Because the various probcomp repos utilize a src/ directory instead of a <MODULE_NAME>/ directory, tests cannot be run from within the repo directories themselves. Adding a symlink (e.g. ln -s src crosscat) fixes this issue but this workaround may have other side-effects. It would be preferable to update the directory structures. cc: @fsaad @zane @Schaechtle

tests cannot be run from within the repo directories themselves.

As mentioned in #1, all tests should be run using ./check.sh which takes care to (i) build the latest source and places it into build/ and (ii) add the build directory to the python path.

All the probcomp repositories should come equipped with ./check.sh --- let me know if any are missing.

It would be preferable to update the directory structures

There is no plan to change the directory structures from src/ for any existing repository (there are good reasons for why we made this design originally, and will not revert it).
