A recent merge to master libs/timer includes support for inspect in the test suite, but the invocation requires support for a search-root argument in inspect. That support is not present in tools/inspect's master branch, causing the libs/timer tests to fail. The following process could help detect inter-module dependencies like this: * Initiate your workspace with the superproject checked out on branch master and all modules on the resulting commit (ignore branches). * Checkout the develop branch only for the module(s) you're working on. * Use "git submodule summary" at the superproject level to determine how your workspace differs from what would be expected in the master branch. If multiple modules show changes, there's a risk of coupling, and it might not be appropriate to push any of them to their master branch. * Use "git submodule update" to reset things when switching development between modules.
