[erlang-questions] Examples of Common Test in apps built with rebar/relx?

[Loïc Hoguin]

I wouldn't show Cowboy's test suites to a beginner. There's a lot of 
things that are unusual there from the cowboy_test module to a ct hook 
and error_logger handler.

It also does not use rebar, but erlang.mk instead. Rebar making 
common_test runs very slow was the very first thing that made me move 
toward using Make and ultimately writing erlang.mk.

It also does not use relx, although that's a smaller concern because 
Cowboy is just an Erlang application and not a whole system. I am not 
aware of people who run relx releases from inside common_test, although 
that's something I wish I could do sometimes.
