subpackages in P7

Hello,

Right now I have three seperate packages.

Project
Project-test
Project-Actions

Is it possible in P7 to have something like this

Project
--- Tests
---- Actions

and if so, how to I make it work,

EstebanLM

Re: subpackages in P7

Yes, you can :)
(But I would recommend it doing it with tests)

Usually, what you do is to create your package “Project” and then inside that package you can add the tags “test” and “Actions”,

But now you already have three packages, and you want to move, for example “Project-Actions” into “Project”. To do this you need to select “Project-Action” and with right click select the option “extras” in your context menu. From there, you need to select “demote to package with tag”. This will move all Project-Action package into “Project” package, “Action” tag.

Cheers,
Esteban

I just said I would keep “tests” separated. The rest I do not have any opinion :)

Re: subpackages in P7

The main benefit of using separate packages instead of tags is that you can choose what to load.

That's why MyPackage-Test is best kept separate, because when other project is loading your project, they don't need to load such package (which can speed up dependency loading and makes for smaller images).

As changing it in either direction is usually simple, don't worry about not using the "right" style.

Just to give another angle, while everything said in this thread is true, I
typically start with a monolithic package + sub tags and only split the
package if forced to. I view premature splitting as similar to premature
optimization. There is a cost of increased complication with dependencies
and related management.
