[question] `conf_info` and `test_requires`

What is your question?

I have a system root package that does the following:

    def package_info(self) -> None:
        self.conf_info.define("tools.build:sysroot", f"{self.package_path}")

I want to test that this is working, so use the following in the corresponding test_package/conanfile.py:

    def build_requirements(self) -> None:
        assert self.tested_reference_str is not None
        self.test_requires(self.tested_reference_str)

However, the tools.build:sysroot is not applied to the configuration for my test package.

I cannot therefore test the package in the way it will be used.

Have you read the CONTRIBUTING guide?

Understood. I was misinterpreting the documentation, thanks for the helpful clarification.

I would be happy to contribute that API, if the project would accept that concept.
