Split the BCL project generation in two: one part that figures out which
projects to generate, and which is done synchronously (because we need it to
compute the list of tests), then split out the actual generation and run it on
a background thread (since that doesn't have to happen until we want to
execute those tests).
This speeds up launching xharness in server mode significantly (from ~2s to
~0.2s).
In order to be able to test the TestSelectro in PR
https://github.com/xamarin/xamarin-macios/pull/8768 we need a more
general interface to mock and ensure that the correct properties are set
by the TestSelector.
Moved all the code that can be shared with the CLI to the common
library. We neede some small changes, but mainly due to namespaces and a
forgotten interface implemenation (was already implemented, was missing
in the class).
This was fun :)
- Code that will later be moved to the `dotnet/xharness` repo is first moved to an isolated project before it will be extracted to the new repo and NuGetified
- New project for the shared code and new test project for tests accompanying the moved code are created
- Only Factories are left behind that are used only by XHarness
The Generator and the Factory classes are a xamarin-macios thing.
Initially, they were separated because the code that generated the bcl
tests was not inside xharness. That is not longer the case. We can merge
both classes, generalize the namespace and be more prepared to move out
of the xamarin-macios repo.
