Template project code is not compiled during `test` about giter8

[performantdata]

I noticed this, too. The plugin seems to use the scripted plugin, but I don't yet understand how, or why it doesn't do its job. (Having difficulties getting sbt running in debug in IDEA.)

test does more if you first run Test / g8, which creates the src/sbt-test/template-name.g8/scripted directory, filled out with an instantiation of your template.

I'm not sure yet why this is necessary, since

scriptedDependencies := { val x = (Test / g8).value }

https://github.com/foundweekends/giter8/blob/v0.16.2/plugin/src/main/scala/Giter8Plugin.scala#L109-L111

scriptedDependencies has no description, so I suspect that it wasn't intended to be used this way.

[performantdata]

I discovered that the scriptedDependencies that's defined in Giter8Plugin isn't being used; sbt test is using the one defined in ScriptedPlugin instead.

This seems to be resolved by using

.enablePlugins(Giter8Plugin)

instead of the .enablePlugins(ScriptedPlugin) that g8 foundweekends/giter8.g8 generates into build.sbt—in fact, it works just as well to remove this line entirely. This also causes the sbt-scripted scenario to be generated in target/sbt-test/ instead of in src/sbt-test/, which seems more appropriate.

I haven't gotten a completely clean run yet, but that seems to be because of an error in my template. But the above so far seems to fix your issue.

@eed3si9n I think this issue requires some attention, as apparently now all the g8Test are no-ops. Following the findings of @performantdata, I've been able to determine that this has been introduced between sbt 1.9.6 and 1.9.7. Here's the diff.
