This might be a naive approach, but it would make the package depency free.

I opened because I was surprised to see this PR being opened in testify that uses objx as a dependencies

• deps: fix dependency cycle with objx (again) testify#1567

Nice one.

@geseq thanks

Perhaps we should add a Makefile with test commands for easy testing locally.

There is a "Makefile" in that project. But it doesn't use make but task

It uses the Taskfile.yaml I'm updating. You can take a look at it.

task is also used by GHA

I suspect that this new project structure breaks coverage reporting: tested code and tests must be in the same package.

Yes, unfortunately

Based on how much testify is extensively used in test, it won't be possible to replace testify by something else using stdlib.

I tried to see if it was possible to remove testify dependency from objx, but it won't be possible.

So the way is more in that direction
