I have custom Julia package, which has hopefully quite standard structure. I have single package, src directory with sources and then test directory with all the tests. In my package I have 4 modules (1 "main" and entrypoint module) and then 3 submodules.

I am slowly adding tests to tests directory. Tests are importing modules with using keyword. Now problem is, very often I am testing some "private" or unnecessary method to be visible to outside and I have to export those functions even though I would not export them otherwise.

How to solve this? I was thinking that each module could have "Private" submodule containing all these "private" functions and constants used for unit testing so that I don't bloat exports of my clean module API.

copied from comments as that seems to be the solution OP is looking for

you can always test functions that are not exported by calling them with MyModule.MySubModule.func()
