Thank you for the help.

This fixes the node naming issue, but unfortunately this not enough to make
it work.

Long story short: in my tests I define some callback functions that need to
be called for the tests to pass.
However, I need to specify the path to the test directory too, because
otherwise my slave node doesn't have these functions defined.

This is how I do the trick now:
https://github.com/ostinelli/syn/blob/1.2.0/test/syn_test_suite_helper.erl#L59
(this passes)
https://github.com/ostinelli/syn/blob/1.2.0/test/syn_test_suite_helper.erl#L60
(this directory does not exist when I use rebar3).

SO: is there a way to have rebar copy the test directory to:
syn/_build/default/lib/syn/test

?

You may want to try:

This actually works, though I see an "experimental" warning on top and I
cannot really automate it in a script, as there's no `--eval` option in
`rebar shell`.

So I've tried adding a test.escript file:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
#!/usr/bin/env escript

main(_) ->
    r3:do(ct),
    init:stop().
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


But:


$ rebar3 shell --sname=mynode --script test.escript

                    [rebar_agent,

                     {cmd,

                      ct},

                     infinity]}}
Stack: [{gen_server,call,3,[{file,"gen_server.erl"},{line,212}]},
        {test_escript__escript__1458__464329__444078__2,main,1,
            [{file,"/Users/roberto/workspace/syn/test.escript"},{line,5}]},



And I'm stuck.

Any ideas?
