Prevent installing with mrt

[aramk]

I tend to develop meteor packages locally by creating symbolic from the packages directory. When running mrt, these are removed, but since I use Meteor's own package manager, there's no need to run mrt anyway. The issue is that Laika always runs Meteor through mrt, removing these symlinks. It would be nice to have a no-mrt option to avoid this and run meteor directly.

I think it depends on the existence of smart.json file in your project root
directory. Can you try removing it and see what happens? If it does not
help we can surely implement the solution your talking about.

Hi @apendua. Removing smart.json works as a temporary solution as long as it's added back after running the tests. It still has the purpose of specifying the external, unpublished packages (most of them forks) used in the project, so removing them permanently isn't an option. I suspect replacing the invocation of mrt to meteor within laika if an option is provided would work well.

@aramk I agree. Can you implement this fix and submit a PR? I would also suggest looking into another testing solution which I am currently working on:
