As per request by @vchuravy, in this PR I add a test that tries to cover issue #3389, i.e. that preferences of implicit test dependencies are currently not sandboxed, but should be. Specifically, I tried to create a minimal fake dependency structure that mimics the MPI.jl / MPIPreferences.jl setup (MPI -> Foo, MPIPreferences -> FooDep). I marked the relevant test as
@test_broken
to indicate the broken status and the expected result.(Note that one gets the desired result if one makes
FooDeps
an explicit test dependency ofSandbox_PreservePrefsImplicit
