Repo organization: move tests out of examples

[eladb]

Currently all of our tests are under /examples/tests. That's a bit weird.

Can we just move them to /tests ?

Adding on an idea - I think it would be nice if all packages (including TypeScript-based and Rust-based ones) were in the same directory, /packages, instead of split between /apps and /libs. (2 cents)

If we move the tests folder out, I would also just get rid of the examples folder. The "proposed" folder can just be deleted, and the "fixture" projects can either moved inside tests or just put alongside other projects.

all packages (including TypeScript-based and Rust-based ones) were in the same directory, /packages

I'm cool with this, If we combine everything we could also start respecting the convention of a hierarchy the matches the package name. i.e. wingsdk would be in /packages/@winglang/sdk

Agree, I think we can gracefully archive them to git history (or keep them as a fun historical artifact somewhere on the contributing docsite)

+1 on /packages/@winglang/sdk, /test, /examples

Summarizing the actions specified in this issue, for any happy contributor out there who wants to pick this up:

1. Move all of our tests one dir up. From /examples/tests to /tests.
2. Move the 3 fixture packages under /tests. From /examples/*-fixture to /tests/*-fixture.
3. Delete /examples (the only thing left at this point would be /examples/proposed).
4. Combine /apps and /libs to /packages.

Can I work on this?

[staycoolcall911]

But of course @govindplal :)
Let us know if you have any questions, either here or in Slack #dev channel:

This is what I understood is to be done :
Move /tests outside /examples
Move /jsii-fixture, /ts-fixture, /js-fixture to /tests
Create a new /packages and move all the elements of /apps and /libs into /packages
Update necessary paths if required.
Delete /examples, /apps, /libs.

@staycoolcall911 Can someone confirm this

[staycoolcall911]

Yes indeed @govindplal - you got it right

[tsuf239]

also, please take a look at where we use examples/tests (or any other path) in the code, docs, gh workflows and configuration files, and package.json :)
I would advise to do it incrementally- moving out one or two directories in each PR

Yeah, sure. Got held up with something else for the past days. I'm working on it!
