Can't import Unity.Netcode.TestHelpers.Runtime

Description

Hi, I’m trying to use the NetcodeIntegrationTest class, which is in the Unity.Netcode.TestHelpers.Runtime namespace. When I try to import the namespace, I get an error that TestHelpers does not exist in the Unity.Netcode namespace.

I referenced the com.unity.netcode.testhelpers.runtime assembly in my .asmdef

Reproduce Steps

1. Create an Assembly Definition Asset
2. Add the reference com.unity.netcode.testhelpers.runtime
3. Create a script in the same directory
4. Try to import Unity.Netcode.TestHelpers.Runtime

Actual Outcome

The namespace cannot be imported because the reference is not present in the project references

Expected Outcome

The namespace can be imported and the reference is present in the project references

Environment

• OS: Windows 10
• Unity Version: 2022.1.23f1
• Netcode Version: 1.4.0 (same result on 1.1)
• Netcode Commit: Not sure. Installed from Unity Package Manager.

Additional Context

The .cs files are visible in Library\PackageCache\com.unity.netcode.gameobjects@1.4.0\TestHelpers\Runtime, but Unity never builds a .dll and puts it in Library/ScriptAssemblies

@Maclay74 @KenjiTakahashi-Rial As a side note, I wasn’t 100% correct and there is a way to use just the package and expose testables.

Sorry for not including this option, but as an alternate way you can add a “testables” entry to your manifest file just after the dependencies section:

{
  "dependencies": {
(all of your project's package dependencies) 
},
  "testables": [
    "com.unity.netcode.gameobjects"
  ]
}

This should also work when using the NGO package (and not have to point to the release branch).
