Manage dependencies under development

See original GitHub issue

Is there a workflow that supports working on multiple projects - say an application and some of its library dependencies - at the same time?

E.g. I want to add some feature to myapp, and need to add some other feature to mylib to support that. Can I tell conan to use a locally checked out mylib repo instead of a cached version/release?

Ideally, I’d also like to have some way to make conan install clone mylib for development (e.g. in source), but that may be out of scope and better suited to an external script.

Hi @tsondergaard

yes, as an update:

Editable packages have been improved and a lot of work put onto them, with the new layout() method
Workspace feature is complicated, and has been put on stand-by for a long time now. Not very recommended for production, it has been removed in Conan 2.0 at the moment. Recommended to use your own script to automate a project using the “editables” feature.

I believe “conan editable” and “conan workspace” are features related to this question.
