Datasets Outside tests Directory

[jpau-besmartee]

Hello all,

I have a use-case where the project I am working on is aiming to have a module-based approach to the architecture where we group all related functionality to a specific resource within a directory under a generic modules directory. An example would look like:

app
modules
  User
    Database
    Models
    Providers
    Tests
    ...
tests

I know by default Pest will only load datasets within the tests and was thinking of ways of bringing them in manually. The solution I came up with was by replicating the logic found in BootFiles.php::bootDatasets in my Pest.php file like so:

$files = (new PhpUnitFileIterator)->getFilesAsArray('modules/*/Tests', '.php');

foreach ($files as $file) {
    if (DatasetInfo::isADatasetsFile($file) || DatasetInfo::isInsideADatasetsDirectory($file)) {
        (new TestSuiteLoader())->load($file);
    }
}

I'm manually pulling the php files within the tests directory under each module and then, following the same logic to determine if it's a dataset file, use the TestSuiteLoader to load the file. I realize that this introduces the danger of breaking when things are updated within the Pest package itself but wanted to see if it were possible.

My question is, are there any major dangers to using this implementation by loading the datasets in this fashion?
