Addon `directory()` is null when testing an addon's views

[edalzell]

Bug description

I have an addon that I'm writing tests for, and the functionality requires a custom view, which I have in the addons resources/views folder. This view works perfectly when addon is loaded normally, but when I'm testing, the addon's view namespace is not registered.

Specifically, the $this->getAddon()->directory() in AddonServiceProvider's bootViews is null.

You can't set directory in the TestCase manifest because directory is NOT in the inclusion list in AddonRepository when it "creates" the addon.

For some reason the provider is null here:

How to reproduce

1. Create an addon with views.
2. try to access those views in a test

What does your addon's TestCase look like?

This issue has not had recent activity and has been marked as stale — by me, a robot. Simply reply to keep it open and send me away. If you do nothing, I will close it in a week. I have no feelings, so whatever you do is fine by me.

It looks like this issue has been fixed in v5, thanks to #9593.
