Why are the tests byte-compiled

[Phillip Lord]

I'm just trying to write some tests, and I get an error like this.

Test open-this-file backtrace:
  #[nil "\306\307!\310\311\216\n\312P\313\314!\315\216\316\314\310
  ert--run-test-internal([cl-struct-ert--test-execution-info [cl-struc

Which is pretty useless for debugging. On the other hand, if I launch
the erts using the same command as the makefile uses but directly on the
source file (i.e. not byte compiled) then I get.

Test open-this-file backtrace:
  (let ((file (concat vc-git-tests-data-dir "file1.txt")) (git-dir (ge
  (setq value-0 (let ((file (concat vc-git-tests-data-dir "file1.txt")

which is useful.

Conclusion: the emacs tests should not be byte-compiled. Or am I missing
something?
