The fixtures of a check's tests are left out of the checks of citations and locations

Checkedconfirmed by its owner

The checks of citations and locations outside the specification leave out the files listed as fixtures of tests. The list is kept in a rule of the project's own guidelines that refines this one. It names only the fixtures of the tests of a check that reads citations or locations.

Why

Such a test feeds its check a file holding a sid or a location as data, not as a citation of a node. A test of any other check has no use for such a file, so the list holds no other. Listed in one rule of the project's own guidelines, the files left out are confirmed by the specification's owner (§s-67vekyup7y8smap) rather than set in the settings.

Problem

Any test's fixtures could be listed and left out of the checks of citations and locations, while only a test of a check reading them needs a file holding a sid or a location as data.

Ruling

The owner: the list names only the fixtures of the tests of a check that reads citations or locations.
