has been updated with a migration guide (for breaking changes)What kind of change does this PR introduce?
A lot of tests (especially the compile ones) are doing something like:
core install arduino:avr
(slow)What is the current behavior?
There are a lot of tests that take most part of the time just installing the same platform again and again.
What is the new behavior?
All the tests that require the same platform installed as a prerequisite are grouped together in a bigger test that runs each of them as a sub-test.
This change requires a bit more attention on the cleanup of the sub-tests since the leftovers of one test can be retrieved in a later test.
Does this PR introduce a breaking change, and is titled accordingly?
No
