AL-Go template layout with a test app is required
Description
CURABIS repos must follow the AL-Go template layout: an apps folder
(.apps/, reference form) containing one project folder per app, a
.AL-Go/ settings folder, and an apps-level workspace file. Repos that
predate the template — AL source flat in the repo root — cannot run AL-Go's
CreateTestApp workflow, which means no test cases can be created, which
means the repo is outside the quality standard entirely: no tests, no eval
floor, no BCQuality review evidence.
A 2026-07-02 portfolio inventory (29 repos) found 3 customer-relevant flat
repos blocked from test creation, and 11 template-compliant repos that simply
had no test app yet (one CreateTestApp workflow run each — not a migration).
Rule
- Every CURABIS repo follows the AL-Go template layout: apps folder with one
project per app,
.AL-Go/, and an apps-level *.code-workspace (see
al-development-must-use-apps-workspace for its required content).
- Every main app has a test app companion (
<App>.Test) so test cases can
be written from day one.
- When BCQuality is implemented on a repo (CURABIS Standard Mode A) or
updated (Mode B), the structural flags are raised immediately — Rømer's
inspection round includes these stations, and setup reports the findings
before configuration proceeds. A repo may be configured while
non-compliant, but never silently: the flags go in the setup report.
- Structural findings are report-only. Migration from flat layout is a
deliberate, planned change (data in
app.json, pipelines, workspace) —
never a silent correction.
What NOT to do
- Do not attach BCQuality to a repo without reporting its structural state —
a configured repo that cannot host tests gives false confidence
- Do not silently restructure a repo during setup or update
- Do not treat a missing test app in a template-compliant repo as a
migration case — it is one
CreateTestApp workflow run
- Do not write new AL features in a flat repo without flagging that tests
cannot accompany them
Signal to watch for
Rømer's inspection round: no apps folder containing app.json project
subfolders (flat layout — blocked), or a main app project without a matching
*.Test project (missing test app — one workflow run).
Message to developer
When a structural gap is found during BCQuality implementation or update,
report before proceeding: this repo is on flat/pre-template layout (tests
cannot be created until it is migrated to the AL-Go template) — or: this repo
lacks a test app for ; run AL-Go's CreateTestApp workflow. Configuration
may continue, but the flag stands in the report until resolved.
